Just when we’ve been lulled into thinking a car is just a car and a plane is just a plane, the metal monstrosities of Cybertron are back in ” Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Where once only 14 robots bone-crushed our world and each other, now there are 46 of them on the prowl, morphing out of microwaves, motorcycles, fighter jets and more as they ready for a screeching showdown of titanic proportions in director Michael Bay’s latest extravaganza of alloyed excess.
Shia LaBeouf is back as Sam, the precocious teen who gave hope to nerds everywhere in 2007’s “Transformers” that they too could get the beautiful girl, if only they had the right alien species parked in their garage. Now he’s headed off to college leaving behind said beautiful girl, Mikaela ( Megan Fox), who spends her days working on cars and bikes by artfully draping herself across them in Daisy Dukes that make Jessica Simpson seem modest.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Freshman Taylor Jungmann limited LSU to five hits in his first complete game, and Russell Moldenhauer hit his record-tying fourth home run of the College World Series as Texas evened the best-of-three finals, 5-1 over LSU tonight.
The top-seeded Longhorns (50-15-1) forced a winner-take-all game Wednesday night for the national championship. LSU (55-17), ranked No. 1 in the major polls, lost for the first time in 15 games.
Jungmann, who threw six pitches all for balls in a short relief appearance in Game 1 Monday, struck out nine against an LSU offense that averaged 9.5 runs in its first four CWS games.

You almost knew it had to play out like this. When two teams dominate the College World Series tournament the way the LSU Tigers, and Texas Longhorns did, there was no chance one team or the other was going to sweep the best of three series. There just had to be a game three.
After letting LSU rally from two down in the ninth inning yesterday, the Longhorns made sure the controlled the game from beginning to end.
Texas scratched across the game’s first run thanks to small ball execution and a bit of porous defense from the Tigers. Third-baseman Michael Torres lead off the game with a four pitch walk, and advanced to second when catcher Micah Gibbs threw the ball away attempting to pick Torres off. Torres advanced to third on a Travis Tucker ground out, and was driven home on a Brandon Belt single.

“Jon & Kate Plus 8″ producers are pumping this marriage uncertainty question between couple Jon and Kate for all its worth. Now they are teasing viewers with an announcement to come during a one-hour special on Monday night. We are told that it will be a “life-changing” decision.
It’s obvious the show is looking for a way to bring non-Jon & Kate loyalists back after the producers saw audience numbers drop after this season’s premiere. But this so-called announcement better leave jaws dropped or numbers will drop within Monday’s special hour show.

Why am I not at all shocked that Kate disagrees with where Jon wants to put the “crooked houses?”
Jon has picked the spot where he wants the kids’ play houses and Kate doesn’t want them there. Kate wins, but I almost want to cheer Jon when he takes a stand, even though he ultimately doesn’t win.

The rush-hour collision on the busy Red Line injured dozens of people. Those killed include the operator of one train. It’s the first fatal crash for the Metro train system since 1982.

Reporting from Washington — A rush-hour collision between two crowded trains on Washington’s subway system killed at least six people this evening and injured dozens, trapping commuters in a stack of twisted rail cars that rescuers were still searching hours later.
Witnesses say a train near the Ft. Totten station on the Metro’s busy Red Line was rear-ended by another train, which climbed atop the stopped cars ahead of it, leaving a two-level snarl of debris. The operator of the approaching train, whose name was not immediately released, was among the dead, authorities said.

Riot police fired tear gas to break up an opposition rally in Tehran today after around 1,000 demonstrators defied a threat from the Revolutionary Guard to crush any further protests over the disputed presidential election.
Police in helmets and wielding clubs fired at least seven rounds of tear gas and arrested up to 60 people at a rally in Haft-e Tir square, a popular shopping destination in the heart of Tehran, a witness said.
The Guards – an elite force set up in the wake of the 1979 revolution – threatened a “decisive and revolutionary” riposte to any further unrest as the Islamic regime battles to contain an escalating crisis over the election.
The warning came after state radio said at least 457 people had been detained in street clashes in Tehran on Saturday that left at least 13 dead.
