lockout is continuing to rear its ugly head, slowly diminishing hope of fans and players getting a full season.

Perhaps you have heard of an organizational expert named David Allen. Over the years, Allen has helped many people organize their time, their tasks and — perhaps most important — their email inboxes with a method he calls, "Getting Things Done," or GTD, for short.
GTD followers are many and passionate. They fastidiously create folders and labels — both physical and digital — in dozens of categories, then file every piece of information promptly. Allen's book "Getting Things Done" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and people pay hundreds of dollars to hear him speak.
The Tribe offense has been a feast or famine group all season, but that fact seems to have intensified. Lately, it lays dormant most innings, looking like some version of Akron Aeros North. Then, all of a sudden, it erupts for a big inning. That’s what happened last night as the Indians chased Chicago lefty Mark Buerhle from the game in a five-run sixth inning on their way to a 8-4 victory to get them back to .500 at 71-71 on the season.

Anyway, league champions and the team everyone loves to hate Manchester United make the short journey up the M61 for a game that is usually Bolton's best attended for the season.

Yesterday was officially the first day of summer, which is a perfect time to check up on the biggest surprises thus far in the MLB. I picked the two biggest surprises in the American and National Leagues to highlight.
The Tribe started the season 30-15, and are currently at 39-33 after going through a rough patch during the end of May and beginning of June. The team is full of many surprising stories that explain their success.

Skin allergy app: Preventice teamed up with the Mayo Clinic to create a web-based app and a native iPhone app called CARD System, which provides physicians and patients with access to information about chemicals, preservatives and fragrances in skin care products that cause allergic skin reactions. The apps will help patients find safe products and track allergic reactions should they occur. According to Preventice’s press release: A National Ambulatory Medical Care survey conducted in 1995 estimated that 8.4 million people visit their doctor because of skin allergies. The company also found that allergic reactions to skin care and cosmetic products were the second most frequent dermatologic diagnosis. CARD stands for Contact Allergen Replacement Database and it contains more than 8,100 known ingredients found in more than 7,000 commercial skin care products. Mayo originally created CARD in 1999, but the product release with Preventice is the first instance of it going mobile. More details
