Hank calls demands for Haren 'ridiculous'By
Everyone breath a sign of relief. Take in that nice, big gulp of air and let it out slowly. According to Hank Steinbrenner, the Yankees will not at all be trading anyone approaching the quality of Phil Hughes for Dan Haren.
Phew. Once again, we here at RAB look good.
In a press conference following the Yankees' decision to drop out of the Johan Santana
farce sweepstakes, Hank was pretty clear in expressing the Yanks' views on Haren and A's GM Billy Beane's demand for his overvalued pitcher. Newsday's Kat O'Brien reports:
As for Haren, a 27-year-old righthander who was 15-9 with a 3.07 ERA this season, Steinbrenner stomped on the idea of the Yankees acquiring him. Oakland general manager Billy Beane has told teams he would need to be blown away to deal Haren. He would want a similar haul from the Yankees as the Twins asked for in exchange for Santana.
Steinbrenner called that price "ridiculous" and vowed: "It won't happen, not with us."
While Hank has come under some criticism for possibly saying too much too often, this is music to my ears. Haren, as I wrote yesterday, comes with a little too much hype and just one season of clear-cut, top-notch pitching. Until he duplicates his 2007 numbers, Haren shouldn't be considered an ace, and he's definitely not worth any combination of Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy or Austin Jackson (as Rotoworld speculates the A's would demand).
Sanity reigns supreme with this one, and this measure of common sense assuages my fears that if the Red Sox land Santana — and it's far from the done deal — that the Yankees would respond by grossly overpaying for Haren.
Meanwhile, if you want to love Phil Hughes more than you do now, read this tidbit from PeteAbe. Phil knows he has the backing of the fan base. I wonder if he's talking about us and those t-shirts.

Hank is annoying as hell, but at least he injects a little sanity into the Haren situation. Haren is nowhere near the ace that Santana is. As much as I'd hate to see Phil Hughes traded away, I would at least understand it for Santana. For Haren, no way. The reality is that he doesn't even have one season of pitching like an ace under his belt, but only one half season. He was absolutely dominant the first half of last season, but then average at best in the second half. Check out his 2007 splits:
1st Half: 10-3 with a 2.30 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP
2nd Half: 5-6 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP
The fact is, his numbers have diminished in the second half each of the past 2 years, and his numbers away from McAfee in Oakland are also far less impressive. He's a good #2 starter at best, not an ace. He's hardly the type of guy that you'd feel comfortable counting on the lead you deep into the playoffs, especially in light of his second half fades.
As for Hughes, he's at worst I think a solid #3 starter right now, and his upside is as a true ace. Once he got healthy last season, he was awesome down the stretch. In September, when we needed him the most, his numbers were:
3-0 with a 2.73 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP
Then, in the playoffs he was:
1-0 with a 1.59 ERA and a 0.53 WHIP
I know it's a small sample size, but the kid is only 21 and I just can't figure out what in the world he did this season that possibly diminished his value as a commodity or in the eyes of the Yankees' brass. No way should the Yankees trade him, and the Twins were stupid for not jumping on the offer while it was there. Lester is a good young left-handed pitcher, but he isn't near the same level of prospect as Phil Hughes is in my opinion. I absolutely would love the Yankees to get Johan Santana, and it will sting a bit if he is actually traded to the Red Sox. But keeping Hughes will ease that sting considerably.
Who woulda ever thought the Yankees would be making the best non-moves of the Hot Stove. I guess this shows that although Hank maybe the fire-breathing figure head, Cashamn and the baseball people still have the majority of say. Now that doesnt mean that if Hank wants something done/not done then h wont get his way but it shows that he takes into serious consideration what Cash & Co. has to say unlike The Boss who negotiates deals with Gary Sheffield by his lonesome.
Yes, I'm VERY relieved!
Looks like Hank is smarter than we thought.
And that Billy Beane…how delusional can you be?
He's not delusional, he's very smart enough to that teams who were out of the Santana derby due to the contract demands will be in his camp because Dan Haren is much less expensive financially.
check out the Daily news appaently the Twins came back to the Yanks yesteday with a poposal involving hughes melky maquez and hilligoss (a singles hitting 3rd baseman.
The yanks tuned it down f money reasons – ae you jokibg? they will lose 50 million ff the cap next season ahnd only have to pay Johab 13 million in 2008. this makes me even more sick. they got a very fair offer – one that didnt kill the fam and we dont take it???
Like Ben said, anything with Hughes has to be out at this point, or the Yankees walking away/deadline would be pointless. I think the need to hardball the Twins, and could get away with pulling Hughes out of the deal if they wanted to, so long as they continue to let Boston and ESPN make it sound like a one-horse race.
I love Hank, he does talk more like a fan than an owner and I guess I can see why some feel that he talks too much and may be hurting the Yanks chances to get guys or causes the Yanks to overpay because he makes his desires known – but I don't agree with that.
Hank lets the fans know whats going on in his head – even if some of it is scary, and he's doing something his father would appreciate – getting a ton of press.
In short, he's refreshing and I like the fact that he's telling other owners and GM's that their demands are ridiculous – the man has balls.
You have to be extremely wary of Beane putting a pitcher like Haren onto the market. The ultimate sell high move.
brxbmrs, i couldnt of said it any better. Gotta love when Hank opens his mouth. It hasnt really back fired on us in the past. Maybe this one, but i'm fine with that as long as we keep hughes..
And by the pure fact that Haren is on the market, means that beane thinks he has reached his high. I wouldnt touch Haren and his momentary success for anything more than kennedy.
Thank You. Its real frustrating to hear people talk about IPK like he's some spare part. I get that he's obviously #3 of the Big Three but damn, the kid was our 1st overall pick in 2006. He did have a 1.89 ERA in the Majors with 3 starts.
I think everyone is in agreement about Dan Haren. I say let him go to another team. He doesn't pose a fraction of concern like Santana ending up somewhere else and coming back to haunt you. I agree that he isn't a down the stretch pitcher either. Some people have that rubber arm and some don't. If a guy struggles with arm exhaustion later in the season he may as well be Kevin Brown pitching game seven of the ALCS with a fucked up back and his depends sticking out of the lining of his uniform pants. Extreme, I know, but I seriously hate that guy!!! =)

With Christmas Eve approaching fast, it's time to break out your bayberry candles! Bayberry wax is more expensive than most waxes, so if you're looking for the essence of Bayberry, try Candlewic's Bayberry Scent.
*Credit goes to Jaxx Candles
When the first settlers arrived on our shores, every moment was one of survival. Everything was in short supply including candles. Generally candles were made of tallow (animal fat) which tend to smoke and give off an odor. They can turn rancid as well.
It didn't take long for the early colonists to discover that the abundant bayberry bush had berries that would give off a waxy residue when boiled. They learned to collect and save the bayberry wax that would rise to the surface of the water and make them into taper candles.
The bayberry tapers burned longer and cleaner than the tallow version. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of bayberries to make enough wax to make a candle (about 15 pounds of bayberries to make one pound of wax). These bayberry tapers were a real treasure to the colonists who saved them for special occasions. To have a bayberry candle was a luxury to be saved and relished. It became the tradition to burn your bayberry candle on Christmas or New Years eve to bring blessings of abundance in the coming year. It is not known who actually came up with the traditional bayberry candle poem, but the tradition continues to this day:
Candlewic wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year!

Beeswax Candles
The other natural wax which is commonly used and has been for hundreds of year is beeswax. This product is used in all type of candles including tapers, pillar, votives and even containers. Beeswax is one of the best all around waxes on the market.
Bayberry Wax
The final wax is Bayberry and is derived from the bayberry bush and can be used at 100% or blended with beeswax. Bayberry wax offers you a very rich and unique smell. Bayberry tapers are traditionally burned during New Years. Bayberry is also used at many colonial, pioneer and other historical events.
Granulated Wax
The final type of wax which is used more for crafting and easy candle making is the granulated wax. This wax is a 140 Melt point paraffin that is formed into little beads. These beads can easily be poured into containers and a wick inserted for an instant candle. This activity is great if you own a candle shop, if you teach classes or when you do shows it is an activity the kids would want to do while the parents shop your candle selection.
No matter which wax you are currently using it always helps to know what options are available if you are adding another line or looking to change things up.

Valpo Drops Series Opener at Centenary
Friday, April 27, 2007A furious two-out rally in the seventh inning fell one run short for Valparaiso Friday evening in Shreveport, La., as Centenary held on for a 6-5 victory in the series opener.
The Crusaders trailed 6-3 with two outs and Taylor Callahan (Pendergrass, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian) on second base when the rally started. Shannon Robinson (Toronto, Ontario/John Redmond) knocked a single into center field to plate Callahan and cut the Ladies' lead to 6-4. Megan Carroll (Eaton Rapids, Mich./Eaton Rapids) reached on a two-base error by Centenary second baseman Lindsey Virdell, moving Robinson over to third.
After an intentional pass was issued to Whitney Warner (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove) to load the bases, senior Beth Adamski (St. John, Ind./Lake Central) came through with an RBI single into center field to score Robinson and cut the margin to one run. But Valpo could not push the tying run across the plate, as the Ladies' Ryan Thacker came in to record the final out.
The Ladies struck first, plating a run on the back end of a double steal in the second inning. Valpo gained the lead in the top of the third, receiving back-to-back round-trippers from Ashley Wolter (Denver, Iowa/Denver) and Callahan to take a 2-1 advantage. For Wolter, it was her sixth career home run, while Callahan moved into third place by herself on Valpo's all-time charts with her 11th long ball.
Centenary received an RBI single from Micah Rhodes in the bottom of the fifth to knot the game up at two, but the Crusaders responded with a run of their own in the next half-inning. Tracy Korth (Elgin, Ill./Larkin [Elgin C.C.]) lofted a sacrifice fly into left field with the bases loaded and one out to bring home Carroll.
Valpo's lead would be short-lived, however, as the Ladies put a four-spot on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning. After loading the bases with one out, Andrea Zappia (Indianapolis, Ind./Franklin Central) induced a pop-up for the second out. But Emerald Doria followed with a grand slam to left field to give the Ladies a 6-3 edge going into the seventh.
Zappia suffered the loss for the Crusaders, falling to 6-7 on the season. The junior allowed six hits and five runs, four earned, in 5 1/3 innings of work. Kelsey Greeson earned the win for Centenary, improving to 8-10. Robinson led the Crusaders at the plate with a 3-for-4 effort, while Callahan went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, extending her Valpo season-best hitting streak to 12 games.
Valparaiso (24-12, 6-4 Mid-Con) and Centenary (20-24, 5-5 Mid-Con) will conclude the series with a doubleheader Saturday in Shreveport. First pitch of the opener is slated for 11 a.m.

ALBANY -- A Queens senator wants to enact what he is calling the Pygmy Pig Regulation Law.
The new bill by Sen. Tony Avella would would permit New York City residents to own the little piggies so long as licensed and vaccinated as household pets. The bill memo states they must also be "sprayed'' -- we assume he means spayed -- or neutered. Only one per household, please, and they must not stand taller than 22 inches at the shoulder and weigh no more than 200 pounds.
From the bill memo: "Over the years, pygmy pigs have gained popularity and recognition as great pets due to the combination of their unique traits such as cleanliness, diminutive size, friendly disposition, and intelligence. They make great companion animals and are considered by some as therapy animals. For children with allergies, these pigs can provide necessary companionship, without affecting their health. As pygmy pigs are becoming widely accepted as pets, many towns, cities, and municipalities throughout the United States have enacted laws, ordinances and regulations to permit the keeping of pygmy pigs as pets. Currently, pygmy pigs are not allowed as a pet in New York City according to the current New York City Health Code section 161.01.''

Three major areas that can significantly be impacted by chronic pain include a person's mood, their ability to move and stay physically active, and their social connections start to drop due to the first two problems. Consider looking for help to work on these three areas as a way of improving quality factors. Some examples would include consulting with a pain psychologist, taking a mindfulness meditation course, going for daily walks, trying something gentle like tai chi, and finding a support group or club that has people that you can connect with. These actions may not cure the nerve pain, but they can help stop the pain from keeping you away from a more fulfilling life.
Surgery only cures pain about 50% of the time, if you got function back consider the surgery a success, it you were shooting for pain relief, it was a failure.
I had to change my whole life when I developed chronic pain, it is difficult but not impossible. You can do it.
Take care, Annette
I have a headache 24/7. I have been to so many doctors the damage was done by the surgery. Nothing that can be done.
Thank You
Be well
Did your surgical correction not fuse, or is your cervical spine stable, but you're left with the pain?
I think you and I have the same levels (cervical anyway) I had C4-5. 5-6. 6-7 fused. I also was injured in a car accident.
It's amazing how big the area involved is with those three levels fused.
I'm sure that your pain is worse than mine, but I do have sensation to know how vast the area involved.
How is your hearing on the left side? I lost hearing (left side) from the accident, but had tinnitus which was bothersome. I now have a "white noise' hearing aid that has helped. I don't know if you are having this problem, but if you do, I'd recommend that you give it a try.
Whenever I read what you're going through, my heart goes out to you. I wish that there was something that I could do to help you.
Spine surgery has a success rate of about 60%. We had little hope that it would help in the first place. Once you become a "failed back surgery syndrome patient," the surgeon will drop you like a hot coal. You are basically left to fend for yourself, unable to work or to maintain basic relationships.
I tried easily three dozen options with my pain management programs. The only one that helped (and it was very slightly) was biofeedback. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try all options. It simply means, "Don't hold your breath."
Next, please allow me to correct some of your major misperceptions.
1. "There is nothing you can do about nerve pain." This is absolutely wrong. Two of the very best common treatments are Gabapentin (Neurontin) and Pregbalin (Lyrica ). These anti-convulsants have significant off-label efficacy for neurological pain.
2. "Pain pills do not help with nerve pain." Again, this is absolutely false. Research is rich and convincing that opioid medications DO HELP with neuropathic pain, just as they do for nociceptive pain. Just one of these commonly-used medications added 9 awesome years to my career, just as they do for millions of others with neuropathic or referent pain.
3. "Cervical fusion cuts off your nerve roots or kills them." This is absolutely FALSE. Cervical fusion, or any other fusion, does NOT cut any nerve root anywhere. This surgery is designed to eliminate stenosis from disc desiccation or herniation. No nerve root is cut in any manner. Today, replacement artificial discs are employed and fused into place with hardware. This surgery is designed to RELEASE trapped nerve roots, not to "cut them off." Instead of damaging the nerves, the surgery makes them healthy again.
Next, I would like to agree with you when you say, "My surgeon doesn't care." OK, it's not so much that they don't care as they do not provide their surgical patients with long-term access to opioid medications. This is done to escape from going on a DEA list and because surgeons treat acute pain. Then, they discharge you to a family doctor or internist. THAT is the person who should be supplying you with your powerful and effective pain medication. I repeat, only your family doctor (who might have a trusting relationship with you) or a pain management physician will treat your long-term chronic pain needs with medications that allow you to return to a fairly normal work and family life. In essence, drop the surgeon. Ask your family doctor or your pain management doctor for the best medications.
To summarize, powerful opioid medications PLUS Lyrica or Neurontin can put a huge dent in your daily pain. It won't go away. It may never go away. But you can learn how to manage your pain in a way that allows you to continue as a worker and as a family member. Adding biofeedback, acupuncture, TENS, spinal cord stimulator, etc., can help even more.
I posted something to you last night.
It's 3 AM now, so I may not be totally articulate with my words.
I've spoken with my neurosurgeon, too, of course.
I'm going to be having breast reduction procedure after the summer. He says that many have been helped with pain via this route.
My insurance will not cover it at all, so I do have to pay for it myself.
There is a woman who posts on this site who has had the surgery done. she has said that it helped relieve her neck pain significantly.
I hope that she will post on this discussion and tell us both more about her experience and sequale.
I hope that you'll sleep tonight, I should try (yet again) to lay down and see if I can sleep.
there no fixing me. I wish you the best of good health.
God Bless you Beth.
2 1/2 years ago I had breast reduction surgery and was able to cut my pain meds in half. I wish I had done it 20-30 years ago. A wonderful plastic surgeon did the surgery for me, she had me get a consult from a hematologist and from a pain management specialist first. I had had a blood clot after the discectomy, she wanted to make sure it was not a genetic problem that was likely to crop up again, it wasn't. Medicare paid for most of the surgery. Their only pre-requisite was that she take out a minimum amount of breast tissue, which she did. I paid the rest out of pocket. I was told all the costs up front before I signed the consent forms. It was a same day surgery, right around 24 hours total.
Unlike other surgeries I have had, I have had no ill effects at all. Unless having to buy new bras is an ill effect, lol. They actually fit too.
Best of luck with your newest surgical endeavor, Beth. Are you doing okay otherwise?
Hugs, Annette
I have nerve pain and oral meds do help, although nothing has ever goteen rid of the pain completely. Try yet another PM doctor, not an interventionist, rather one who does it all.
Take care, Annette

COLUMBIA — South Carolina's leaders want permission to limit the types of food that poor people can buy with food stamps, an effort that they say is aimed at improving health and reducing obesity.
Gov. Nikki Haley plans public meetings in the coming months to gather input for a potential request to the U.S. Department of Agriculture – which runs the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly called food stamps – for a waiver to restrict food-stamp purchases.
The state better come up with something truly innovative.
The two formal requests to restrict food-stamp purchases that reached the Agriculture Department in recent years were turned down by the federal government. Multiple other requests have been shot down by state legislatures before they could make it to the feds.
It is worth seeking a waiver if the state wants to try out some new ideas, said Ed Frongillo, chair of the Department of Health Promotion, Education and Behavior at USC. "But it's important for (the state) to understand why the (U.S.) Department of Agriculture would be potentially concerned about restrictions on foods," he added.
The concept seems simple to some: When poor people receive government money to buy food, the government should be able to limit those purchases to healthful foods. Obesity leads to many health problems that a healthier diet theoretically would reduce, saving the government money in the form of lower health-care bills for the poor.
Those are the arguments used by Haley and her directors of the Department of Social Services, which coordinates food stamps in the state, and the Department of Health and Environmental Control, tasked to fight obesity.
Yet the issue is extremely complicated.
In 2007, the Agriculture Department wrote an 11-page position paper explaining why restricting use of food stamps is a bad idea.
The Agriculture Department's basic arguments are:
• There are no clear standards for defining foods as healthy or not healthy. For instance, based on some criteria, diet soda would be better for you than orange juice.
• Enacting food restrictions would make a huge program even more complex and costly. The typical supermarket carries 40,000 products, with new versions arriving almost daily. While computer checkout systems might be able to keep straight what is deemed healthful and not healthful, keeping those systems up to date will be a real chore, especially in small stores with older equipment.
(Stores do something similar now for the federal government-approved Women, Infants and Children food program. But that program has strict standards met by only a small percentage of grocery products, and only about 700 S.C. stores take part in it.)
• No evidence exists that food-stamp use contributes to poor diet or obesity. Some health advocates argue this point, but the Agriculture Department cites inconclusive studies. For instance, studies indicate food-stamp recipients buy more unhealthy sugary drinks but fewer sweet and salty snack foods, also unhealthy, than non-recipients.
'Against freedom of choice?'
Based on past efforts in other states, South Carolina leaders face a tough task.
From 2009 through 2011, legislation limiting food-stamp purchases has been introduced in at least nine states. None of the proposals got out of their own legislatures.
Haley is taking a slightly different route, asking Social Services and Health and Environmental Control to come up with a waiver request, and avoiding the legislative debate.
But even that approach faces high hurdles.
In the past decade, at least two other proposals to restrict food-stamp use made it to the Agriculture Department – one by Minnesota in 2004 for candy and soft drinks and one by New York City in 2009 for soft drinks. (Mississippi submitted a limited waiver request last year, but the state withdrew it before the Agriculture Department responded.)
Minnesota and New York City were shot down by the feds.
Did partisan politics play a role? Evidently not. The Minnesota request came during a Republican presidential term, and the New York City request during a Democratic term. The state efforts that died in legislatures were in states as varied politically as Democratic California and Republican Texas.
Food and beverage manufacturers have lobbied all sides against food-stamp changes, citing many of the reasons detailed in the Agriculture Department report.
For example, when Catherine Templeton, director of the Health and Environmental Control, first broached the idea of a food-stamp waiver in January, the S.C. Beverage Association quickly sent her a lengthy, detailed argument against it.
Advocates for the poor also have campaigned against restrictions.
"People in poverty are operating in very constrained situations already," USC's Frongillo said. "The idea of singling out constrained people goes against freedom of choice."
Reward, not punish?
The Agriculture Department also has concerns about the impact of any restrictions on the cost of food for the poor. About 30 percent of food-stamp recipients in 2011 reported earned income and 60 percent reported other government-provided income. Many used that income to pay for food to supplement their food stamps, which max out at about $35 a person per week.
Many food-stamp recipients also live in areas with few food shopping choices, making it more difficult to find inexpensive healthful foods if limits are set on what they can purchase, according to the Agriculture Department.
Cutting the sugary drinks and candy from diets would help. But a 1999 study of food-stamp purchases found only 8.4 percent of purchases were in those categories, compared with 54.5 percent going to meats, fruits and vegetables.
Despite all of the Agriculture Department's concerns, the agency left the door open slightly to some future restrictions on purchases in its rejection letter to New York City.
"We would like to look to potential alternative collaborations such as private-public partnership to design, implement, and evaluate an anti-obesity intervention targeting consumption and associated behaviors while encouraging healthy choices," the letter stated.
Researchers at Arizona State University made the case for changes in the food-stamp program in a report released in 2011, and nutrition professor Punam Ohri-Vachaspati, an author of the report, says she will be following South Carolina's effort closely. She said the state needs to pay attention to what other states have tried and failed.
"In my opinion, items that can be easily identified at the store and have no nutritional contribution should be the target for restriction-based strategies," Ohri-Vachaspati said.
But Ohri-Vachaspati and USC's Frongillo note the USDA is more interested in rewarding food-stamp users for healthy choices than penalizing them for unhealthy choices. One such effort already has been approved in many states – increasing the value of SNAP money when it is used at local farmers markets.
Work with grocery stores?
In South Carolina, several small grants paid for doubling SNAP money when it was used at farmers markets. But the incentive had little impact, according to the state Department of Agriculture. Only $283,937 of the $1.4 billion in food stamps spent in South Carolina last year were redeemed at the 82 farmers markets set up to accept SNAP money, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The state Agriculture Department is working to come up with a plan to expand the fruits-and-vegetables encouragement program to grocery stores, where most food-stamp recipients do their shopping. One study indicated 83 percent of food-stamp purchases are in large grocery stores.
A small project in Massachusetts called the Health Incentives Pilot already is testing that idea. The project rewarded about 7,500 food-stamp users an extra 30 cents of benefits for every dollar spent on fresh fruits and vegetables. A report on the pilot is due this year, detailing whether the rewards improved diet and/or health.
South Carolina could come up with an incentive-based program. But Haley, Templeton and Department of Social Services director Lillian Koller mentioned only restrictions when they announced plans to request a waiver. At the press conference announcing the state would put together a waiver request, Koller contended the open process of seeking input at public meetings would increase the chances of the waiver eventually being approved.
Arizona State's Ohri-Vachaspati would like to see some state come up with an innovative restriction plan.
"While a restrictive program is likely to have implementation challenges, well-designed pilot projects can shed more light on how these challenges can be overcome," the Arizona State report said.
Just across the border from Arizona, Mexico has taken an even broader approach at leveraging food assistance to improve the lives of the poor. In some areas of that country, the amount of government food assistance is higher if poor people ensure their children stay in school and make well-care visits to physicians.
For South Carolina to succeed on its waiver request, it likely will have to take the opposite approach and hone in on a small region or a small segment of the food market. Incentives also have a better chance than restrictions.

Martinsburg wasn't fazed by a one-week delay in the Class AAA championship game.
Brandon Ashenfelter threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night, leading Martinsburg to a 30-0 win over Brooke in the title game that had been pushed back by a legal challenge.
The second-seeded Bulldogs earned their first-ever championship after losing four times in the title game since 2001.
Martinsburg grabbed a 17-0 lead after the first quarter and never relinquished the momentum.
Martinsburg (14-0) outgained Brooke 243-125 and allowed the Bruins only six first downs.
Brooke (11-3) lost in the championship game for the second straight year. The Bruins have won three Class AAA titles.
The game was postponed from a week earlier due to a court challenge involving the eligibility of four players from South Charleston stemming from a fight in a quarterfinal win over Hurricane.
The state Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a Kanawha County circuit judge's order that had allowed the South Charleston players to compete. The high court's ruling cleared the way for the Secondary School Activities Commission to forfeit South Charleston's semifinal win over Brooke for using ineligible players.
Ashenfelter hooked up with Nick Lopez and Cedric Brown for touchdowns in the first quarter. Brown caught six of Ashenfelter's 10 completed passes for 72 yards. Lopez had two catches for a game-high 92 yards.
Ashenfelter, who was named the game's most valuable player, also ran for 40 yards to pace the Bulldogs on the ground.
Brooke's Alec Buchmelter completed one pass for eight yards and also threw an interception. The Bruins had 14 penalties for 125 penalties, setting a AAA championship game record.
Brooke had averaged nearly 300 rushing yards in three playoff games entering the night, but the Bruins were limited to 117. Brooke's Ryan Lazear, who had 1,331 rushing yards entering the night, ran for 86 but couldn't find the end zone.
After stopping Brooke quickly to begin the game, Martinsburg drove 52 yards for the opening score largely on the arm of Ashenfelter. Following a 38-yard completion to Lopez, Ashenfelter connected with Brown for a 15-yard touchdown.
Brooke committed four penalties, including three personal fouls, on Martinsburg's second drive that ended with Tyler DeHaven's 25-yard field goal.
Brooke aided Martinsburg again moments later when Buchmelter was intercepted by Brown at the Bulldogs' 45. Two plays later, Ashenfelter hit a wide-open Lopez on a 55-yard pass play to push the score to 17-0 in the final minute of the first quarter.
Ashenfelter scrambled 26 yards and threw a 29-yard fade to Lopez to move Martinsburg inside the Brooke 5 late in the third quarter. David Gladden finished the 60-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run.
Chris Perkins added a 20-yard TD run for Martinsburg in the fourth.
Martinsburg scored 30 points or more 10 times this season while allowing only 7.7 points per game.

A Colombian drug kingpin faces double-barreled charges in Miami and New York, accusing him of smuggling tons of cocaine from Venezuela to the United States while financially supporting leftist guerrillas in his homeland, authorities said Tuesday.
Jose Evaristo Linares-Castillo, designated by the U.S. government as one of the "most significant" narco-traffickers in the world, is accused of producing cocaine at his labs in Colombia and storing about 20,000 kilos of it in the Apure state of Venezuela.
In Apure, near the Colombian border, Linares-Castillo used clandestine airstrips controlled by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia to transport loads of cocaine to Honduras or Guatemala and then to Mexico, prosecutors say.
From there, most of the drugs were smuggled into the United States.
Linares-Castillo, 47, extradited to New York Thursday, has pleaded not guilty to drug-trafficking charges related to his alleged financial support of the FARC, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. He also has been indicted in Miami on drug-smuggling and money-laundering charges. Four co-conspirators were also named in the Miami indictment.
Linares-Castillo collaborated with another Colombian drug lord, Daniel Arnoldo Barrera-Barrera, also known as "El Loco," who is expected to be extradited to Miami soon to face cocaine-smuggling charges, authorities said.
Both investigations, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration, reflect the heightened role of Colombian traffickers in Venezuela and their use of Apure state as a hub for cocaine shipments through Central America and Mexico to the United States.

For The Tribune-Democrat
For the second consecutive year, a former Pittsburgh Penguin and Stanley Cup winner will drop the ceremonial first puck to open the Johnstown Tomahawks season.
The team announced this morning that Bill Guerin will be hand to the do honors as the team hosts the Port Huron Fighting Falcons on Sept. 15 Cambria County War Memorial Arena.
Guerin was the trade-deadline acquisition who helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup in 2009. Revered for his leadership, grit, skill, and experience, the power forward played a key role on Sidney Crosby's wing, helping the Penguins capture their first Stanley Cup championship since the 1992-93 season.
Last year, former Penguins player and current owner Mario Lemieux, who was on those Cup-winning teams from the '90s, dropped the puck for the Tomahawks' first home game.
Guerin also won Stanley Cup winner in 1995, Guerin was a four-time NHL All-Star and a three-time member of the United States Olympic team. He finished his career seventh among American scorers with 429 career goals. He recently was named to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2013.
"Bill Guerin is one of the most successful and well-known American-born players to ever play in the NHL," Tomahawks President Richard Bouchard said in a press release. "There is no better person to represent the values and goals of organization than Bill Guerin. Through his tremendous skill, grit, toughness, hard work and determination, he forged a Hall of Fame career and led a generation of American-born hockey stars. We are incredibly pleased to have him help us celebrate the start of our second season."

Search for illegal immigrants angers advocates for reform
The arrests took place in Manchester and Nashua. A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said three of the four were quickly released from custody and given a date to appear before an immigration judge.
The fourth - Rigoberto Obregon-Perez - was jailed on a warrant for failing to appear in court on a charge of drunken driving, and ICE has placed a hold on him, said Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
ICE said Obregon-Perez has a record that includes convictions of drunken-driving and disorderly conduct.
The arrests angered immigration reform advocates, who held a small protest outside the federal building in Manchester Monday afternoon.
A "prayerful protest" is scheduled for 4 p.m. today outside the federal building.
Eva Castillo, director of the New Hampshire Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees, said the two people arrested in Nashua attended a rally of about 100 faith, labor and community activists in Nashua on Saturday.
"Now, I'm scared for the people who spoke at the rally," she said.
She said the two who attended the rally are Edgar Granados-Torillo, 29, and his uncle, Arnulfo Granados-Torillo, 56. Both are Honduran. The senior Granados-Torillo has been in the country since 1997, and they only have a traffic violation between them, she said. Castillo questioned whether ICE spied on the rally in Nashua on Saturday; only immigrants with proper papers will attend today's protest in Manchester, she said.
"I don't want to run the risk of having anyone identified by these jerks," said Castillo, who is also a Manchester police commissioner.
ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said the arrests had nothing to do with the rally, and the Granados-Torillo men were released from custody.
Feinstein said the arrests are part of an on-going enforcement action that involves at-large criminal aliens who pose a threat to the community.
"No one is being targeted indiscriminately," Feinstein said. "This is a very targeted immigration action. It's being done to people who have certain criminal convictions that fall into our priorities. We can't deport every person in the country illegally."
In Manchester, about 20 ICE and Manchester police showed up at a private party at El Mexicano Restaurant about 10 p.m. Sunday, said co-owner Lidia Rodriguez. She said agents pushed through the door, gave her sister a hard time when she started photographing them, and threatened to visit her restaurant continuously, a tactic that would scare away her customers.
"This is no good for my business," she said.
The other person who was detained, Ruben Mendez, 19, has been in Manchester for four years, Rodriguez said. He moved to Manchester to make money and send it to his family in Mexico, where his parents are in ill health, she said.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
With Chicago a no-go, 4 Wheel Kitchen turns to Milwaukee
Ready to start a new business, Chicagoan Linda Knibbs ordered a food truck last year in anticipation of the Chicago City Council's passing an ordinance allowing mobile kitchens on city streets.
She's still anticipating. (In Chicago, only prepared foods can be sold from trucks and carts; no cooking is allowed on board, until the law changes.)
Instead of putting the vehicle in mothballs while waiting for her fully outfitted truck to be street legal in Chicago, she took 4 Wheel Kitchen on the road. Now it's selling pierogi with sautéed onions and sour cream, black bean burgers, and peaches Romanoff among other quick bites in Milwaukee, where it took about a month to get the truck licensed, Knibbs said.
The truck this week has been at Takeout Tuesdays at Schlitz Park and in front of U.S. Bank downtown, among other spots; it announces its location daily on Twitter. One of the city's newest, it hit the streets July 1.
Knibbs said she worked in I.T. and wanted to do something new; her son was working in the food industry, so starting a food truck was natural. She heads the company from Chicago; her son, Joe Brady, operates the truck with two employees.

MEMORY MOVEMENT MEMORY OBJECTS: Alice Anderson at Wellcome Collection
- 23 July — 18 October 2015
In July 2015 Wellcome Collection will present a major exhibition of works by acclaimed artist, Alice Anderson: 'Memory Movement Memory Objects'. Anderson's sculptures are entirely mummified in copper thread, creating glistening landscapes of beautiful, uncanny and transformed objects. Each piece is an exploration and act of memory. Both the making and display of works interrogate how we create, recall, transform and seal the past and imagine the future. Over 100 works will be displayed and, uniquely, visitors will be invited to contribute to the creation of a new work during the run of the exhibition, as a car from the artist's life is mummified in the gallery.
The gallery will carry the mesmerising glint of displayed treasure, akin to entering a Pharaoh's tomb, but the objects on show are fashioned relics, or new archaeology. Strikingly lit, the sheen of copper is, for the artist, key to the absorbing physical and mental experience of entombing objects. The process of mummification is simultaneously a gesture of protection and an invocation of death, and Anderson's exquisite sculptures pose challenging questions about the comforts and consolations of creating and sharing memories. Offering an alternative way of remembering, the exhibition will animate the terrain where movement, objects and consciousness meet.

Elections 2012 Results – Mitt Romney won the two GOP primaries last night in Arkansas and Kentucky as expected, picking up 81 more delegates on his march to the 1,144 required to officially win the GOP nomination. There were two sub-plots of the night:
- In Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, Thomas Massie defeated Rep. Alecia Webb-Edgington to secure retiring GOP Rep. Geoff Davis' seat in the House. The win marks a victory for the Tea Party over the GOP establishment, as Massie had the backing of Tea Party darling Senator Rand Paul.
- Both states also held Democratic primaries, and President Obama performed poorly in both Southern states. In Kentucky, the President only received 58% of the vote (42% voted "uncommitted"). In Arkansas, 42% of voters selected Tennessee lawyer John Wolfe over Obama.

Golf has its silly season, those few weeks after the final major when all that matters is accumulating more money and winning something called the Fed-Ex Cup, which has caught on about as well as Donald Fehr with NHL management.
As baseball fans will tell you, when Fehr is in charge, sports fans have nothing to fear, but Fehr himself.
College football is now in its silly season, from the bowl games that began on Saturday to the numerous coaching changes that have taken place since the regular season came to an end.
Northern Illinois becomes the BCS buster and makes the Orange Bowl, but their coach is now at N.C. State, while Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez is back on the sidelines after Bret Beilema surprised everyone and bolted for Arkansas, where pretty blonde volleyball players and motorcycles will be off limits.
There has also been the never-ending conference realignment, with Maryland and Rutgers improving women's basketball in the Big 10, and now the seven Big East basketball schools are going to take their ball and run. Who can blame them?
As for on the field, three months and a week of non-stop football fun will be followed by 35 games in 24 days, but only one will really matter.
Honestly, who, other than West Virginia and Syracuse fans, will remember who won the Pinstripe Bowl? Ditto for Virginia Tech and Rutgers, and the Russell Athletic Bowl.
It is too bad that college football is going to be over in just over a month. At least for football fans in the south especially, there is recruiting and spring football.
Wouldn't it be nice if college football could have a never-ending season much like baseball, the NBA, hockey (when it is actually played), NASCAR, golf, tennis and soccer. Does qualifying for the World Cup ever end?
I missed college football last week. I went to Salem to watch Honaker play — and fall short — of the Division 1 state title in a 17-10 loss to George Wythe.
I didn't realize it at the time, but the Adam Hughes that is an assistant for the Maroons is the same man who played at Princeton and was a long snapper at West Virginia.
I really missed college football when I got back in my car for the ride home. Other than the Army-Navy game — which, much like the Masters, is a tradition like no other — it wasn't what I was used to finding on my SiriusXM radio in the fall.
For three months and a week there had been non-stop college football, my favorite brand of football, and suddenly there was none. No cheering for Alabama or keeping up with Virginia Tech or West Virginia.
Somehow that just seemed wrong. I could feel the pangs of disappointment, of realizing another college football season is about to come to an end with the most anti-climatic of all sports postseasons.
Salem Stadium was busy two nights ago too, with Mount Union continuing its dynasty by winning another Division III national crown. The NAIA and Division II playoffs are now over, and the FCS — or Division 1-AA — title game will be played on Jan. 5.
The difference in the playoffs at the lower level is every game counts. You win and move on, lose and you are done. At least the only teams still playing have a chance to win a national championship.
Not so at the highest levels of college football. Yes, there will be a four-team playoff beginning in 2014, but there will be plenty of other games that will give you that empty feeling you get when the season is about to come to an end.
Beginning with two games on Saturday and continuing until Alabama wins its third national championship in four seasons against Notre Dame on Jan. 7, college football will be all about the bowls.
Some bowls are meaningful and have history, such as the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Gator, Capital One (no wonder the interest rates on my credit card are so high), Fiesta and Chick-fil-A Bowl, formerly the Peach.
The rest could go away and who would miss them other than the 11 6-6 teams, one 6-7 club, and 14 7-5 schools that are still playing football. Meanwhile, Louisiana Tech (9-3) is nowhere to be found because their athletic director dared hope for something better than the Independence Bowl.
Don't we all?
Over the next 22 days there will be some good games, and lots of duds. Most will be celebrating something, such as restaurants (Beef O'Brady, Little's Caesars, Buffalo Wild Wings), states (New Mexico, Hawaii), cities (New Orleans, Nashville, and Heart of Dallas, which sounds more like a soup)), car parts (MAACO, Meineke Car Care), freedom (Independence, Liberty, Alamo, or is that a rental car) and department stores (Belk, Russell Athletic and whatever a BBVA Compass is).
All that must be endured to reach the one game that counts. In two years, there will be three games that count, but the controversy will continue. Who was the fifth team that should have gotten in?
College football fans will have a difficult time deciding who to cheer for on Jan. 7. If you're not a fan of Notre Dame or Alabama, which way do you go?
I would suggest Alabama, as you well know, but I would be for anyone playing Notre Dame. We all have sports teams that we don't like for any number of reasons. My short list includes the Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers … and Notre Dame. I have added Tennessee and Auburn over the years because of my allegiance to the Crimson Tide, but I would cheer for them against the Irish.
It's been years since the Irish mattered, and I have enjoyed their demise. There are so many reasons not to like Notre Dame. There has never been a time when I cheered them on and that won't ever end. It is the same with the other teams I mentioned. The more they lose the better I like it.
Problem is, there are fans across the country who feel much the same as me, but they're also tired of Alabama and weary of the SEC, which has won six straight national titles and heading for a seventh in three more weeks and a day.
Who do you cheer for? Is it the legend and lore of Notre Dame or the legend and lore of Alabama?
To me, it's an easy decision. For those of you who don't like either school, you have to pick the lesser of two evils, like many folks apparently felt when they flipped a coin and voted for president a few weeks ago.
Which way will you go?

Family case managers work with families where children have been determined to be unsafe and subsequently removed from their home under a court order in order to ensure their safety while parents work on enhancing their ability to parent safely. Family case management services are designed to achieve a safe and permanent home for children, preferably through reunification with their family whenever possible. If reunification cannot safely be achieved, other permanency goals such as adoption or transfer of guardianship are pursued to ensure that all kids have a safe, stable, nurturing place to grow up.
Consider a career in this challenging and rewarding field.

NORMAN — A controversial high-density project at Asp Avenue and Buchanan Avenue in the Campus Corner area will likely be postponed again.
Applicant Mark Risser is requesting a change in the 2025 Land Use and Transportation Plan and zoning to allow for a high-density multi-family and office project. A great deal of protest has been issued from nearby business owners and single-family residential neighbors.
The city is currently in the process of developing zoning to allow for high-density projects of this nature but may not allow the size of structure this project calls for on the Corner.
Ward 4 Council member Greg Jungman supports up to four stories for high density, based on feedback from community dialogues. Jungman said Risser is asking for 75 feet, which exceeds that.
Attorney Sean Rieger, who represents Risser in the application, sent a letter requesting the item be postponed until April 9. If the Norman City Council grants the request, it will be the third postponement at the city council level.
Also this week in the city, Norman residents and businesses will get their first look at the proposed fertilizer ordinance. The ordinance is on the Norman City Council's consent agenda docket, and while it likely will not be discussed during the meeting, first reading postings allow time for study before the ordinance comes forward for a vote in two weeks.
To protect the city's drinking water supply, the proposed ordinance will regulate the use of fertilizers containing phosphorus. This will impact the sale, use and labeling of fertilizers in the city and requires businesses that apply chemical fertilizers to register.
Lake Thunderbird supplies two-thirds of Norman's drinking water. The lake has been "identified as having chlorophyll-a concentrations over three times the allowable limit set by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," according to city staff notes.

On paper, it appeared that the Borden baseball team's game at Class 4A No. 2 Floyd Central on Thursday was going to be bad news for the Braves.
On Wednesday, Borden suffered an 8-1 loss to Austin to fall to 2-3 on the season. Meanwhile, the Highlanders kept their undefeated record intact by defeating archrival New Albany, 12-4.
On Thursday at Highlander Field, however, the Braves proved they had a very effective short memory by pulling off one of the biggest upsets in the state.
Borden built an 8-1 lead after 4 1/2 innings and held on to surprise Floyd Central, 8-7.
"It was a good situation for us coming in obviously," Borden coach Brian Agnew said. "We needed some help in order to get this done."
Braves' senior shortstop Garrett Vick said he and his teammates came in extremely focused, especially after the Austin setback.
"We knew Floyd Central was probably going to be the best team we've played all year. But we knew if we came out ready, we had a chance to beat them," Vick said. "[On Wednesday], we were flat in warm-ups and we were just dead and we got our butts kicked.
"If you can beat team like this, the sky is the limit for us."
Highlanders' coach Casey LaDuke praised the Braves for their performance.
"Let's give Borden a little credit. They are not bad. I knew they would be decent," LaDuke said. "I don't like making excuses — we didn't play very well. We made [seven] errors and you can't do that.
"This is baseball — this is what happens in baseball. No other sport is like it. You have a good team that comes in like Borden and plays well, they've got a chance to beat you."
The Highlanders (6-1) committed an atypical seven errors, and the Braves (3-3) did a fantastic job of taking advantage of every miscue.
Borden went up 1-0 in the first inning when catcher Brian McGee scored from third base on a balk by Floyd Central starter Alex Koopman.
The lead grew to 5-0 in the third when the Braves tacked on four runs thanks to three hits and three Highlander errors.
Vick had the key hit in the frame. With none out and the bases loaded, Vick smacked a double to the right-center field wall against a drawn-in outfield to drive in two runs.
On the same play, starting pitcher Kyle Kruer came home on a throwing error to extend the Borden advantage to 4-0. Two batters later, the Braves' Johnathan Knight plated Vick with an RBI single.
Floyd Central's first run happened in the bottom of the third. Center fielder Aiden Cora came home on a throwing error.
Borden's lead grew to 8-1 with three runs in the top of the fifth. With two outs and the bases loaded, Vick ran home on a passed ball by Floyd Central catcher Trey Fulton.
Shortly thereafter with the bases still full, McGee smacked an opposite-field single to left to knock in two more runs.
"We had some big hits. McGee's hit down the line for that last bit of [scoring] was something we had to have," Agnew said.
The Highlanders began their comeback in the bottom half. Floyd Central loaded the bases on singles by Cora and Mike Springer and Fulton getting hit by a pitch.
With two out, Borden center fielder Sam Beckort dropped a fly ball from the Highlanders' Kyle Beach that allowed the Highlanders to clear the bases and cut their deficit to 8-4.
Floyd Central kept chipping away in the sixth. Cora collected an RBI single and later scored on a fielding error to pull the Highlanders to within 8-6. But McGee ended the inning by throwing out Springer at second on an attempted steal.
In the bottom of the seventh, Beach knocked in Colton Kimm from second with a one-out double to deep center to slice the Borden lead to 8-7.
The Highlanders stranded the tying run at second as Ross Lundy flew out to center and Phillip Archer grounded out to second.
Kruer got the victory in the complete-game effort. Of the seven runs he surrendered, only two were earned. He yielded nine hits and no walks, while striking out four.
Borden pitching coach Kyle Craig visited the mound a few times late in the game to keep Kruer under control.
"I just told him to calm down more than anything," the former Braves' standout said. "We knew they were a great hitting team, and we couldn't rely on nothing but fastballs. His command of four pitchers was the only way we were going to win."
McGee went 2-for-2 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Vick wound up 2-for-3, scoring a pair of runs and driving in two. Beckort redeemed himself in center after his fifth-inning error, as he caught five of Floyd Central's final seven outs.
Cora went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI. Koopman got the loss on the mound. In three innings, the right-hander gave up five runs on five hits with on walk and no strikeouts.
"We'll be fine. We've played real good ball this year so far," LaDuke said. "But I think tonight opened some eyes and we'll move on."
Both teams will have doubleheaders on Saturday. Borden will host Class 3A No. 9 Charlestown, while the Highlanders will have a split twinbill at Scottsburg with the host Warriors and Jennings County.
Borden 104 030 0—8 6 4
Floyd Central 001 032 1—7 9 7
W — Kyle Kruer (2-1). L — Alex Koopman (1-1). 2B — Garrett Vick (B), Colton Kimm (FC), Kyle Beach (FC).
Records — Borden 3-3, Floyd Central 6-1.

The year 1962 did not seem to portend great things in the world of pop music.
The brightest lights of '50s music -- including Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley -- were either inactive, in jail, or not making the kind ofrock 'n' roll that made them famous.
The charts were filled with songs like Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and the Four Seasons' "Big Girls Don't Cry" -- hardly the kind of music that electrified teenagers and frightened parents just a few short years before.
But beneath the surface, a youth-quake was bubbling:
On Jan. 1, 1962, four young men from Liverpool, who called themselves the Beatles, auditioned for Decca Records. They failed that test, but passed one months later with EMI and entered the recording studio for the first time.
In March, a scruffy, 20-year-old singer named Bob Dylan released his first album, consisting mostly of his versions of folk standards.
In July of that year, a new group called the Rollin' Stones played their first gig. The lineup included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones.
And in October, a clean-cut vocal group from Hawthorne, Calif., called the Beach Boys, released their first album, "Surfin' Safari."
Though their early accomplishments were little noted at the time, the artists went on to revolutionize music and popular culture.
"It was a change in a generation and a style," said Dave "Stoney" Stone, program director of 96.5 BOB FM in Fayetteville.
Stone noted that artists such as the Beatles and the Beach Boys were able to take advantage of studio techniques that were not available just a few years before. Even stereo was a novelty.
"It was an experimental time in recording, and a lot of new things were coming around," Stone said. "Suddenly, we were layering tracks."
For local musician Bob Steele, the music of acts such as the Beach Boys and Bob Dylan is "embedded in our society."
Steele noted that most of those artists who debuted in 1962 were born while World War II was raging. Their music, he said, represented the more affluent and optimistic post-war world.
"They're celebrating a lot more than rock 'n' roll," Steele said. "They're celebrating a world that came back from an apocalyptic war. Rock 'n' roll brought us back."
Bill Joyner is part of the popular local band Joyner, Young and Marie and hosts the "Down Home Blues" program Fridays at 6:30 p.m. on public radio station WFSS.
Joyner said the artists' music has persisted in popularity because all four acts were innovators in their own way. And each pushed the others on to greater creative heights.
"It's why you're still hearing their stuff on the radio," Joyner said. "There's no substitute for good."
Behind the Music
Here's a look at the legendary artists and where they were 50 years ago.
