Reliever Williamson agrees to minor league deal with Giants
SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco Giants agreed to terms on a minor league deal with reliever Scott Williamson on Sunday and invited him to spring training. Williamson, the 1999 NL Rookie of the Year who turns 32 next Sunday, is scheduled to report to the team's spring training complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Wednesday with pitchers and catchers. The right-hander could bolster an already deep bullpen. Williamson spent his first four-plus seasons with the Cincinnati Reds and has also pitched for Boston, the Chicago Cubs, San Diego and then Baltimore last season. He went 1-0 with a 4.40 ERA in 16 outings in 2007, missing time early in the season while on the disabled list with tightness in his throwing arm. .
Amy Winehouse's Grammy Performance — Love It or Leave It?
While Amy Winehouse couldn't quite make it to last night's Grammy Awards in LA, she still performed during the show via telecast from London. It was her first big outing since saying yes, yes, yes to rehab and the night's big winner looked a lot better than she has recently. That being said, I'm sure she still has a ways to go in terms of getting better. Check out the performance below (where she changes the lyrics to "Rehab" to talk about her "Blake incarcerated") and let us know — love it or leave it? .
New Fallout 3 Developer Diary: Brotherhood of Steel
Now imagine all of that compulsion, all of that addiction we as an entire race share, and encapsulate it into one group of people. Imagine the obsession and fervor, the unending need for technological superiority, and the ultimate futility of such a goal. Imagine, if you will, the Brotherhood of Steel. In Fallout 3, the Brotherhood of Steel is one of the most important and influential factions you'll encounter. And while it's true they are a military organization, the Brotherhood's values and command structure are actually more representative of a medieval knightly order. Like the Templars of old, in their own eyes, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel are pure, they are just -- they are truly human in a world filled with both physical and moral corruption. But it is the worship of technology that truly defines and drives them.

Monday wild card
The way it is being staged does not fit for CdA. We agreed completely with the critique written earlier in the SR by Jim Kershner. DFO: My daughter, who knows the star, Steve Booth, enjoyed the play. My wife wanted to walk out. And I was in the middle. It was quirky. Sometimes coarse (occasional language, orgy scene). And it had no memorable music. Coming on the heels of "Chorus Line," which was coarser, I'd say the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre had one adult-themed play too many this summer. I want to see "Chorus Line" again. But I'll pass on "Pippin" (although Ellen Travolta was dyne-oh!-mite in the one scene as Pippin's grandma). .
