HBT: Rockies go to 4-man rotation with 75-pitch limit

If there was ever a team that should be trying something different, it?s the 2012 Rockies with their 25-40 record and their 6.28 starter?s ERA. Still, this doesn?t seem like a great idea.

Manager Jim Tracy revealed this afternoon that he plans to go with a four-man rotation and limit all of his starters to 75 pitches per outing.

?We had to do something that was unconventional,? Tracy said.

Jeremy Guthrie, who is expected to be traded in the near future, was moved to the pen to set up the new arrangement. The Rockies will go with a rotation of Christian Friedrich, Jeff Francis, ?Alex White and Josh Outman for now.

Rockies starters have been the worst in the NL this year, and it hasn?t helped matters that Coors Field is back playing like it did in the early part of the last decade. Of the 10 pitches to start games for the Rockies this season, only one has managed a sub-5.00 ERA. That?s Drew Pomeranz, who was sent back to the minors after going 0-2 with a 4.70 ERA in his five starts. The best ERA of the pitchers currently in the rotation belongs to White, who is at 5.56 after eight starts.

It will be interesting to see just how this affects a bullpen that has already been overworked this season. Tracy will often be getting just four innings from his starters, so he?s going to have to treat relievers Guillermo Moscoso, Matt Belisle, Adam Ottavino and Guthrie like long guys. If he starts yanking those guys out after an inning of work, he?s going to have big problems within a week or two. However, if he?s willing to let some of them throw three innings, take two days off and then come back out and throw two or three innings again, maybe the experiment will survive until the All-Star break anyway.

'Oprah's Next Chapter': 50 Cent Struggles To Name People Who Love Him; Have His Back (VIDEO)

There is a high price to fame that non-famous people can probably never fully understand. But Oprah Winfrey certainly does. So she was coming from a place of understanding and commiseration when she asked 50 Cent to name the people he knows genuinely love him on "Oprah's Next Chapter" (Sun., 9 p.m. ET on OWN).

50 Cent struggled to answer the question, unable to come up with someone outside of his grandmother and his son.

"Short periods of time? Lots of people," he said. But that's not true love. That's perhaps opportunistic love.

She hit an even bigger block when she asked him who he was certain had his back. As it turns out, in a pinch 50 Cent doesn't feel that there's anyone he can definitely count on no matter what.

"I have asked myself this question," Winfrey said of the love query. "It's not a very long list." It painted a surprising picture of loneliness amidst such fame and adoration.

"Oprah's Next Chapter" continues Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on OWN.

Tasty booty in Spain as crisis spawns crop theft

(AP) ? Drop those cherries, you're under arrest. Crops and cops are converging along Spain's journey through economic crisis: People enduring hardship are stealing the earth's bounty from farmers to help get by from day to day.

Police have added the patrolling of farmland ? sometimes on horseback ? to their list of daily tasks. Farmers in some areas are teaming up to carry out nighttime patrols on their own.

In villages near farming areas, several thousand paramilitary Civil Guards, regional and local police are even setting up checkpoints to sniff out not drugs or drunken drivers but stolen fruit or farming equipment, like copper wire used in irrigation systems. The Civil Guard says sometimes its officers mount "cage operations" ? sealing off whole villages to check cars and trucks for, say, pilfered pears.

The stolen goods are mainly for resale: The food ends up in small roving street markets and the metal goes to scrap dealers. Last year alone more than 20,000 thefts were reported at Spanish farms. The Interior Ministry says it has no comparative figures from other years, or for so far in 2012. But authorities and farm groups blame the thefts on Spain's economic crisis and say they are a big enough problem for the patrols, which began last season, to stay in force this year.

Here in Sant Climent, a village of 4,000 just outside Barcelona in the northeastern Catalonia region, the booty this time of year is cherries ? dark red, shiny and sweet ? dangling like ornaments from stubby trees in orchards rising up the slopes of a river valley. They're everywhere, with people selling them from their front doorsteps and on stands inside bars for ?8 a kilo ($4.50 a pound). A drawing of a cherry adorns the mayor's business card.

What is happening is hardly an invasion of starving unemployed people gorging themselves on cherries and trudging back into town with red-stain criminal evidence all over them. Nor is Spain's agricultural sector, which accounts for about 3 percent of GDP, in jeopardy. But the theft reflects a real problem for Spain's farmers and is a reflection of how harsh times are making ordinary people turn to crime.

"This has emerged because of social alarm. Because of the crisis, crime is up," said the local police chief, Ernesto Banos. "And when cherry season comes around, people say, 'what now, cherries? OK, let's go get them."

The usual suspects can be surprising, or not. "Retirees, unemployed people, young people," said Banos.

Sure, at some point we've all climbed a fence and stolen a neighbor's apple. And in Spain, theft from farms ? an unguarded field is an easy target ? has always been around to some degree.

"But the increase that has taken place since the crisis started a few years ago has been spectactular," said Estrella Larrazabal, spokeswoman for a farm association called Asaja. "Thieves take anything they can get their hands on."

And things have happened in the Spanish countryside that make it look like the Wild West, or in some cases, Wall Street.

? A rancher in central Spain went out one morning to view his 200-head herd of cattle and found two prized calves which had just been released into the pack shot in the head at point-blank range, and perfectly slaughtered. They were to have been prized breeders. But only the bony carcasses, with heads attached, remained in the muddy field. "Those animals were phenomenal. They were spectacular. Really fat, very well treated, and after five or six days in the field, they killed them," said the rancher, Eulogio Morales.

? A farmer in Cordoba caught some men stealing plowing equipment from him. They were arrested, tried, convicted and fined ?90 ($115) each. But they came back to his farm repeatedly demanding he pay the fine, and eventually threatened to kill him if he did not. The farmer, Ignacio Fernandez de Mesa, wore a hidden recording device during the last showdown, and nabbed them. A new trial on the death threat charge is pending. "I stood up to them" Fernandez de Mesa said. "I was waiting for them."

? Sheep rancher and lemon grower Vicente Carrion, head of the local branch of a farm lobby in the lush eastern region of Murcia, said thieves plan their hits according to what crops are getting good prices. So they are like futures traders, only instead of monitoring oil or gold, they watch artichoke or orange prices. "If there is no price, they don't touch it." Carrion said. "Prices are not stable over the course of the year. When they peak, that is when they strike."

Carrion says he knows of cases where gangs have stolen up to 5,000 kilos (2.3 tons) of oranges in one go. They act in broad daylight, picking the fruit under the thick cover of leafy groves, packing them in crates and loading them in trucks. Non-tree crops require a bit more stealth. "At night, they act when the moon is full. It is bright. They sneak in and steal your artichokes," Carrion said.

In Sant Climente, police say that every night they man checkpoints looking for stolen countryside goodies. The town is small, so strangers' faces stand out, and officers also know what kind of vehicles to look out for: "Usually beaten up old vans," said Joan Prunera, a Catalan regional police chief from a neighboring town who is helping out with the patrols. Minutes after he spoke, a farmer phoned in a tip: Someone was out there trying to sell a chain saw and an electrical generator, both apparently stolen.

High up on a hill amid a grove of some 1,500 cherry trees, their trunks about the thickness of a man's shin, grower Domenec Tugas and his wife Pilar patiently pick cherries. They grow six varieties, all of which probably look the same to non-cherry people. He laments the need for the police patrols that make their way up into his land in all- terrain vehicles on narrow, unpaved roads.

"People have always stolen a bit. You are used to that. But with the crisis it has gone up," said Tugas, a ruddy-cheeked man of 69 with an easy smile. He wore a straw hat against a hot, hazy sun, the air thick and muggy. He said that just last weekend he called in police to scare off two young guys on a motorcycle who were helping themselves to his fruit.

But there is one intruder he cannot fight, at least not on his own.

"Wild boars. They weigh up to 90 kilos (200 pounds). They come in and ram into the trees to knock them down," Tugas said. "It is for their little ones to eat. They love cherries."

Up close with Microsoft 'Surface' tablets for Windows 8

17 hrs.

Microsoft announced a brand new line of internally-designed tablets at an event in Hollywood on Monday. The Surface tablets, as they are calling them, are extremely thin and light, and were designed with Windows 8 in mind.?

There are plain (RT) and pro versions, but both have 10.6-inch 16:9 screens and built-in kickstands, the better with which to watch movies and TV shows. The screen cover detaches and works as a full-on keyboard and multitouch?trackpad; there's a second cover that has an actual mechanical keyboard and clicking buttons.

The rear, with folding kickstand, can be seen below. The designer emphasized the high quality of the materials and parts, comparing opening the kickstand to opening the door of a high-end car.

Above, the Typecase, which has an actual tactile keyboard, compared with the Touchcase (below, in pink), which is flat and pressure sensitive..

The case is the first of its kind, they say: made of magnesium, which is often used to form the rigid bodies of professional cameras, but Microsoft has a new process for molding it that they call VaporMg. The RT version is 9.3mm (0.37 inches) thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds.

The Pro version is thicker, but it also has a more high-resolution screen (1920x1080), a more powerful Intel processor, and built-in support for pen input. It tips the scales at 2 pounds and is just over half an inch thick.

They're also fitted out with ports for the usual things: microSD, USB, video out. There are cameras on the front and rear for pictures and video, and the one on the front is actually angled a bit so you can talk while the tablet is leaning on its kickstand. Inside, you can get up to 64GB of storage on the RT and 128GB on the Pro.

More info and pictures can be found at the new Surface site; price wasn't announced specifically, but was described at the event as competitive with ultrabooks. The RT tablets will be available when Windows 8 launches (supposedly in October), and the Pro tablets three months later.

NEC Lifetouch L unveiled keeps Android 40 thin and light

Still looking for that perfect 10-inch Android tablet? Well here's another one slab aiming for your wallet. NEC's latest attempt is the LifeTouch L and lands in 16GB and 32GB sizes, with a business option (with unchanged hardware) on the sidelines. The consumer-facing models are set to arrive on July 5th, with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor running the Android 4.0-based show and despite a 10-inch (1280 x 800) display, it all weighs in at a gentle 540 grams (19 ounces). The tablet also slims down to just -- and we mean just -- under 8mm, or 7.99mm (0.31 inches) to be precise, putting it below even the svelte Toshiba Excite 10.
