    Tigers-Yankees Game 1: Suspended by rain

    Ain’t this a daisy: Joe Torre just announced that Game 1 has been suspended. You can’t predict baseball. But you can predict weather. Makes you wonder why they didn’t do that here.

    Because of the new postseason rules that were put into place after the soggy 2008 postseason, all playoff games are played to their completion, not started from scratch, even if it hadn’t reached the fifth inning.

    This is really dangerous work, and you can see it in the faces of the deputies.

    AP reports:

    OAKLAND, Calif — An opium-growing recluse wanted in connection with two murders exchanged gunfire with police in northern California but slipped back away into dense woods where he has hidden out for five weeks, authorities said on Friday.

    No one was hurt in Thursday's shootout with Aaron Bassler, 35, near the town of Northspur, located about 150 miles north of San Francisco in the rugged coastal mountains of Mendocino County, said sheriff's department Captain Kurt Smallcomb.

    But Bassler, described by his father as mentally ill and living like a virtual hermit, managed to avoid capture again in what was his closest brush with arrest since he went on the run last month.

    Sheriff's deputies searching for murder suspect Aaron Bassler stand on the front of the Skunk train as it pulls into Northspur, Calif., Friday, Sept. 30. Authorities say they are closing in on the murder suspect who has been the subject of the largest local manhunt in decades, as they reported he shot at a group of sheriff's deputies Thursday. Bassler, 35, is suspected of killing a city councilman on Aug. 27 and one other person several weeks before. Bassler is thought to be hiding out in the redwoods outside of Fort Bragg and is believed to have broken into several cabins to steal food and at least two other weapons.

    AP reports:

    With fans on their feet, many with tears in their eyes, 6-year-old Cooper Stone stood on the pitcher's mound and tossed the ceremonial first pitch of the playoffs to his favorite player, Josh Hamilton.

    Cooper is the boy who saw his firefighter father fall to his death while trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Hamilton during a Texas game on July 7. This was his first trip back to Rangers Ballpark, and it came on center stage, with his widowed mother, Jenny, and Rangers president Nolan Ryan by his side.

    Cooper Stone, 6, tosses the ceremonial first pitch to Texas Rangers left fielder Josh Hamilton before Game 1 of baseball's American League division series playoffs on Friday, Sept. 30, in Arlington, Texas.

    Escarmuzas are a Mexican rodeo tradition that date back to the 19th century. During these "skirmishes," teams of women perform tricks on horses, including doing group formations and riding sidesaddle, all while wearing traditional escarmuzas costumes. In these images, the women compete at a rodeo in Oaxtepac, Mexico.

    I would be curious to see more images from after the competition. I find that is when the more interesting pictures happen, when the costumes get a little dirty and the women's guards go down.

    AP Reports:

     Namibian tribal leaders took possession Friday of the skulls of 20 of their countrymen, taken by German colonial forces more than a century ago for racial experiments.

    The handing over of the skulls was a rare reminder of Germany's short-lived past as a colonial power in Africa, which included the bloody suppression of a Herero and Nama uprising between 1904 and 1908 that left tens of thousands dead.

    The heads of four females and 16 males, including a young boy of about three, were removed from their bodies and preserved in formaldehyde intact with faces, skin and hair.

  • The Invisible Empire, alive and well in the state of Virginia

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    Jim Lo Scalzo, a photojournalist with the European PressPhoto Agency, has spent several months documenting three chapters of the Ku Klux Klan in Virginia. Lo Scalzo explains:

    The Invisible Empire is experiencing a revival in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Three chapters of the Ku Klux Klan have reemerged in the state, holding rallies, lighting crosses, and seeking new members. Anger over gay rights, racial changes in the population, and a black president are frequent refrains at these rallies. Yet Klan members say they are not about hate, but about taking pride in their own race. "The blacks have the NAACP [The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People], the Mexicans La Raza, and the Jews have the ADL [The Anti-Defamation League]," says Stan Martin of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. "We whites have the Ku Klux Klan."

    A picture released by an Indonesian rescue team on September 30 shows the wreckage of a Casa 212 turboprop plane among the trees at Mount Hulusekelem in Bahorok, North Sumatra, Indonesia, after crashing a day before. There were hopes there could be survivors from an Indonesian plane that crashed with 18 people aboard, the government said, after rescuers spotted the fuselage intact and a door open.

    Hope for passengers on downed Indonesian plane as wreck is found with door open

    The AP reports from MEDAN, Indonesia:

    Rescuers trying to reach a plane that crashed in the mountains of western Indonesia said Friday there still may be survivors, after spotting the wreckage intact with one of its doors opened.

    Eighteen people were onboard the Spanish-designed CASA C-212 when it lost contact with air traffic control halfway through its 30-minute flight between North Sumatra and Aceh provinces early Thursday.

    Rescuers have so far been unable to reach the crash site near the mountainous village of Bahorok because of rugged terrain and torrential rains.

    There were no signs of the 14 passengers — four of them children — and four crew members. But it provided rescuers with some hope that there may be survivors inside.

    Land rescuers hoped to be able to reach the scene Friday afternoon. Read the full story.

  • Silo collapse brings Pennsylvannia community to farmer's aid

    By Rich Shulman

    It's nice to see how the farm community pulls together when something like this happens.

    As the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported:

    Just why the Hutter silo collapsed remained something of a mystery. The concrete structure, ringed by steel bands, began to buckle about 3 p.m. Tuesday. At the time, Blaine Hutter's nephew, Aaron Hutter, was working near the top of the structure and managed to get to safety.

    The silo came down in stages in what eyewitnesses said was an agonizingly slow process of disintegration. The silo fell completely to earth late Tuesday night, collapsing partially into a barn.
