JOHNSTOWN - It's been said the third out is the hardest to get, especially when it slips through your fingers.
Portage pitcher Luke Dividock struck out Bishop McCort's Brad Coleman for what would've been the final out of the third inning of Thursday's District 6 Class A playoff game. However, the low-and-away pitch eluded catcher Brandon Vocco, and skipped toward the Mustangs' dugout at Point Stadium.
Coleman reached base safely, and was the first of two runs to score later that inning, extending the Crimson Crushers' lead from just one run, to 3-0.
"That's the name of the game," said Portage coach Larry McCabe. "That's baseball. Those things happen. They capitalized on some things we just didn't finish."
Despite a late Mustangs push, McCort won, 6-3, and advanced to their third-straight District 6 Class A title game.
Just two of Dividock's six runs allowed were earned, and his strikeout of Coleman was his only one all game. Crushers starter Nate Neiderhiser had no earned runs, struck out 11 batters, while only walking one. Justin Vardian closed the game in the seventh inning, striking out two.
"At the beginning of the game, my fastball-changeup combination was working for me," Neiderhiser said. "My changeup was there all night. Toward the end of the game, I started losing a little heat on my fastball, but coach did a great job calling the pitches, whatever he felt was best, and I ended up getting the outs."
The fifth-seeded Mustangs (13-7) scored all three runs in the sixth inning. Evan Price hit a two-run double to score C.W. Miller and Dividock, then scored on a passed ball.
"We showed we can compete, but we just waited too long to get some runs on the board," McCabe said. "I'm proud of our kids. We have a lot of character. This was a heck of a season, and these kids made a lot of sacrifices to get where they are."
Luke Williams led Bishop McCort offensively, finishing 2-for-2 with an RBI-double in the third, and a single and a run scored in the fifth. Neiderhiser was 1-for-1 with a double, a walk and two RBIs. Nemo Trexler went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
The top-seeded district- and state-defending champion Crimson Crushers (18-4) meet Claysburg-Kimmel in the district championship Thursday at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Claysburg defeated Conemaugh Valley, 10-7, in the other semifinal game Thursday.
"Everyone's excited," Neiderhiser said. "Personally, it's my third-straight trip. We're all excited to go put another banner in the school gymnasium."

Four Summerville-area swim teams are off to a fast start this summer.
Coosaw Creek, Ashborough and Pine Forest were all undefeated entering Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association competition Thursday held after press time.
Coosaw Creek jumped out to a 4-0 start this year and all four wins came against Red League opponents. The Crocs have the league's only undefeated team so they are now in first place for the league.
In the Blue League, Ashborough got out to a 5-0 start and Pine Forest started 4-0. They are the only undefeated teams in that league so Ashborough is in the lead.
White League team Newington has one out-of-league loss but has a 3-0 record in league action. That leaves the Tigersharks tied for first place in the league with Dunes West.
Blue League teams Legend Oaks and Summerville Y are out to a 1-3 and 0-3 start, respectively.
Coosaw had a bye Thursday so its major obstacle to claiming another Red League regular-season championship is a meet with Hobcaw on July 9.
In the White League, Newington was scheduled for a showdown with Crowfield Thursday. Key upcoming meets in that league include a July 2 match between Newington and Dunes West and a July 9 meet between Crowfield and Dunes West.
In the Blue League, Ashborough and Pine Forest were scheduled to go head-to-head Thursday. Pine Forest also has a key meet at James Island on July 11 so the championship for that league may come down to that final week of the regular season.
The CCAA Championship Meet (City Meet) is scheduled for July 21-23 at the Jewish Community Center in West Ashley. The season finale event will feature all 21 teams that participate in the association.

Rockies Stone Cubs with Long Ball Bonanza
Jaron Shepherd and Correlle Prime smacked solo home runs to highlight a three-run 1st inning, 2012 1st round pick David Dahl blasted a two-run HR to key a three-run 4th, Jared Simon singled, tripled, walked twice, and scored two runs, and Jeff Popick singled twice, doubled, and drove-in a run, leading the Rockies to an 8-2 victory over the Cubs in Extended Spring Training action this morning at Fitch Park Field #4 (formerly known as "Field #3") in Mesa, AZ.
Garrett Schlecht drilled a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd inning and Trevor Gretzky crushed a 420+ ft solo HR over the right-centerfield fence with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to account for the two Cub runs.
The defensive play of the day was a run-saving diving catch of a sinking line-drive by Rashad Crawford in short CF.

Okay, let's try another question, as I just saw that you answered my first question in yesterday's comments (on Dan Sanchez). Have you seen enough of Marra to make a judgment on his defensive potential behind the dish? (if you've answered this recently, I apologize).
Good to see Trevor Gretzky
Good to see Trevor Gretzky flash some stick, AZ PHIL. Thanks.
I just have a feeling that the Bears are going to, once again, drink that ND Koolaide and draft The Catfished Man.
He could then join other stellar Bear-ND alumni such as Chris Zorich, Rick Mirer, Tom Zibikowski,Frank Budka, Jim Flanigan, Mike Gandy, Paul Grasmanis, Johnny Lujack, Mike Stonebreaker, and Dave Duerson. Plus 11 more.
Actually, some of the above were good players. But I never cared for ex-Bears who went on to play for the Packers.
This is predicated of course, on if they choose to trade the pick which seems like the best, "safest" thing to do.
Or, they could pick a Corner which is surely a need big-time after this year.
But then, if Trestman sees something special at QB, maybe this is the year to do that before Cutler starts scowling? It would certainly be a surprise, but there is no one backing up that could be a bona fide NFL starter.
"and draft The Catfished Man"
"and draft The Catfished Man" -not going to happen.
I wish Trevor's sister would flash more.

Scouts Inc. pros: He displays excellent first step quickness and has the ability to execute scoop, hook or reach blocks from the backside. When playing with proper pad level he can generate an explosive surge and can move defenders off the ball. Light on his feet and rarely seen on the ground. He is a very gifted athlete and an easy mover in space.
Scouts Inc. cons: Awareness is obvious area of weakness as a prospect and inexperience shines through. He appears to have more natural instincts in pass pro than as a run blocker at this point. Can be a step late identifying and locating targets in the run game at times. Also needs to work on timing coming off of combo blocks. Can be a second late identifying blitzes and defensive line movement in protection on occasion.
I read another scouting
I read another scouting report somewhere that said he stands too upright and has trouble keeping his hands down - but it was overall a pretty positive report, very quick feet, etc. Despite the Bears luck with recent OL drafts - and I still hold out some hope for Carimi - I'm never gonna beef about building the O-line.

Even though scientists could not explain high cholesterol's role in breast cancer, they suspected that a cholesterol-related mechanism of some sort was behind three key observations: first: high cholesterol is an independent risk factor for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer in obese postmenopausal women; second, high cholesterol is associated with a decreased response of tumors to endocrine therapies; third, statins improve disease-free survival in breast cancer survivors who are taking statins before diagnosis.
If a cholesterol-related mechanism could be identified, scientists reasoned, it might not only explain a number of clinical observations, it might also present ways to lessen breast cancer risk. Such a mechanism has, in fact, been found, report researchers at the Duke University. In addition, say the researchers, the mechanism points to a straightforward strategy for preventing or treating breast cancer.
On the basis of work with mouse models and human breast cancer tissue, the researchers at Duke have found that a metabolite of cholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), functions like the hormone estrogen to fuel the growth and spread of ER-positive breast cancers. Moreover, they found that statins appear to diminish the effect of 27HC.
These results were published November 29 in Science, in a paper entitled "27-Hydroxycholesterol Links Hypercholesterolemia and Breast Cancer Pathophysiology." In this paper, the authors write that 27HC helped activate the ER and the liver X receptor (LXR) to increase "ER-dependent growth and LXR-dependent metastasis in mouse models of breast cancer." The authors also note that the activity of 27HC was inhibited when animals were treated with anti-estrogens, or when supplementation of 27HC was stopped.
Providing more detail on the mechanism, the authors indicate that the effects of cholesterol on tumor pathology required its conversion to 27HC by an enzyme—the cytochrome P450 oxidase encoded by CYP27A1—and were attenuated by treatment with CYP27A1 inhibitors."
The role of 27HC in tumor growth was studied yet further in experiments with human breast cancer tissue. This tissue showed a direct correlation between the aggressiveness of the tumor and the abundance of the cytochrome P450 oxidase. "The worse the tumors, the more they have of the enzyme," said the study's lead author Erik Nelson, Ph.D.
Evaluation of CYP27A1 expression levels revealed a potential association between 27HC exposure and the development of resistance to the anti-estrogen tamoxifen. Gene expression data also highlighted how increased 27HC may reduce the effectiveness of aromatase inhibitors, which are among the most commonly used breast cancer therapeutics.
"This is a very significant finding," said senior author Donald McDonnell, Ph.D. "Human breast tumors, because they express this enzyme to make 27HC, are making an estrogen-like molecule that can promote the growth of the tumor. In essence, the tumors have developed a mechanism to use a different source of fuel." This observation highlights a statement, made in the paper, that "in high-grade tumors, both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages exhibited high expression levels of the enzyme."
Dr. McDonnell said the findings suggest there may be a simple way to reduce the risk of breast cancer by keeping cholesterol in check, either with statins or a healthy diet. Additionally, for women who have breast cancer and high cholesterol, taking statins may delay or prevent resistance to endocrine therapies such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors.

Pressure cooker bombs:?Did you have any idea a gadget out of grandma's kitchen could be so deadly?
Go talk to any combat veteran. There are thousands of ways to make an improvised bomb. A pressure cooker doesn't surprise me a bit. In fact, I'm usually the one to cook in ours, as my wife has always been afraid of it due to all the old horror stories from "Grandma."

No and quite honestly, I wish putting stuff like how to make a bomb were as wrong as yelling fire in a theater.

Finally! It's been 18 days since Kenny Chesney teased his new single in a Tweet, letting us listen to 22 seconds of "American Kids" and sneak a peek at a short clip of the video.
Today, we finally get to listen to all three minutes and eight seconds of "Kids" – and get a better idea of the singer's vision for his upcoming album.
"There is so much more to being alive than partying, tailgates and bonfires," Chesney explains in a press release. "It's every single detail of being young, growing up, remembering when, laughing about how, but especially knowing you can still do all those things!"
Chesney tries to have fun in his music, but wants to send a message, too, explaining, "Just because it makes you smile that doesn't mean a song can't say something!"
He continues, "American kids are so much more complicated, more fun, more real – and if there's anything about this song, beyond the rhythms, the hooks and the playing, that I love, it's the fact that it captures all the little things that life really is made of."
Listen to "American Kids" below – and tell us what you think in the comments. Thanks, Kenny, for helping us start summer on the right foot!

Each week, the Moultrie News and Mount Pleasant Recreation Department will feature one local track and field athlete participating in the department. Paul Kowalchick, 11, participates in shot put, discus and 400-meter run events with the Mount Pleasant Track Club. Kayla Kirland, 9, participates in shot put and the 800-meter and 1500-meter races with the club.
Question: If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be?
Paul Kowalchick: I think it would be great to be the CEO of Universal Studios in Orlando. I'd shut down the park for one day and let all my friends in for free.
Kayla Kirland: Someone who works for Petco.
Q: What is your favorite Mount Pleasant restaurant?
PK: I like any place that serves chicken and french fries, but my favorite is Brickyard Food & Spirits. They are right in my neighborhood and we go there almost every Saturday night after church.
KK: Wild Wings.
Q: What is the best moment in your athletic career?
PK: That would be a toss-up between winning in the championships for football last year, placing third in the state and making the all-state wrestling team for my division. For track, it would be qualifying for regionals in my first year with the MPTC.
KK: When I checked the newspaper and found out I won the Cooper River Bridge Run for the second time in a row and had my best time.
Q: What is the best advice you have gotten from a coach?
PK: My dad is the best coach I've ever had, and he has taught me to always work hard and have a great attitude. I try to remember what he's taught me, because it's true in school, sports and life.
KK: Start sprinting at the curve, not the straightaway.
Q: What do you look forward to the most about being an adult?
PK: I want to have a job that makes me happy and rich. I can't wait to drive. I want to get my own dog and ride around in an awesome car.
KK: To go wherever whenever.
Q: What do you think are the most difficult and most fun aspects of track?
PK: The hardest thing about track for me is the running. It's not just how we train, it's a huge part of our practice time. There are no games that we play for fun or scrimmage and drills. We just run and run and you have to be disciplined. The most fun part of track is trying to perfect my shot put technique so that I can throw farther.
KK: The most difficult aspect is the last 100 yards and the most fun is that it is a fun challenge.
Q: What is your movie and TV show?
PK: My favorite movie is "Jurassic Park III" and the TV show I like is "River Monsters."
KK: Movie: "Oz the Great and Powerful" and TV show: "America's Funniest Videos."
Q: If you could have dinner with any three people who would you choose?
PK: I think it would be cool to have dinner with Jesus, Da Vinci and Fat Albert. There are a lot of questions that I'd like to ask, and I think they would make very interesting dinner guests. I can only imagine the conversations.
KK: Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Darius Rucker.

In a field populated by Byrds, Animals, Turtles and Buffalo Springfield, The Doors provided access to a different sound.
They were, explains Howard Kramer, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's curatorial director, "much darker, much more literate and more blues-and-jazz as opposed to blues-and-folk."
"That's why," he adds, "they really stand out."
From May 25 through October 7, the Rock Hall is spotlighting the group's influence and four-decade durability in "Break on Through: The Lasting Legacy of the Doors."
Emerging during the tumultuous '60s, the band, consisting of lead singer Jim Morrison, drummer John Densmore, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger, derived its name from the "doors of perception" references in works by English writers William Blake and Aldous Huxley. Their 1967 debut album included "Light My Fire," which quickly rose to the top of the charts during the Summer of Love.
Six albums followed over the next five years, filled with such destined-to-become-classics as "Riders on the Storm," "Love Her Madly" and "Roadhouse Blues."
Kramer credits the group's dark, brooding mystique - exemplified by the charismatic Morrison - coupled with their musical diversity, as keys to the band's success.
"They were the anti-psychedelic," Kramer says. "The Doors were going for a different type of feel and sound than, say, Jefferson Airplane or the Mothers of Invention. And the group incorporated dissimilar influences into their music. Krieger and Densmore studied Eastern music with Ravi Shankar; when they applied what they learned, the result was different from what anyone else was trying to do."
The exhibit will spotlight artifacts already part of the Rock Hall's collection, including Morrison's Cub Scout uniform and report cards issued while he was a student at California's Alameda High School. "Generally speaking, he was a very good student," Kramer says. "Like most kids who grow up in military families, he had his manners down and understood what he was supposed to do."
The exhibit also puts a new spin on memorabilia.
"We've also come up with some very interesting things that have never been seen in public before," Kramer promises, including posters and handbills from "every performance for which a poster or handbill was created," including the December 12, 1970 concert in New Orleans that proved to be their last: Jim Morrison would die of an apparent heart attack seven months later at age 27.
"Through Jim's death, The Doors personify the axiom that when you die young, no one can ever see you grow old," Kramer says. "Here's this bunch of guys who remain eternally young in the photographs, who weren't around long enough to make any bad records, weren't around long enough to become old and fat.
"And every year, a new group of teen-agers discovers them through their parents, older siblings, cousins or the radio and the memory and their music remain permanent."

Stereotypes don't always die a natural death; sometimes you have to kill them.
Take the one about the disappearing black males, the men who are never around to provide guidance and serve as role models. Don't believe it.
Instead, watch what's happening at Futures Academy, School 37, where black men are volunteering to mentor eighth-grade boys in one of the city's "turnaround" schools that got a new principal last year and a staff overhaul.
The initiative pairing more than a dozen men and boys is an outgrowth of the Schools of Wisdom program that the Rev. Gene Coplin has run for years at Futures and other schools as part of his Project LEE – Learning and Earning Experiences – that drives home to students the importance of deportment, attitude and grades to be successful.
This spring, he recruited African-American men to work one-on-one with the boys. He also provided another dimension: teaching what it means to be a gentleman, a term that seems quaint in an age when music companies make money showing black boys how to act like thugs, demean women and "dis" authority.
Coplin has been fighting that trend for years, teaching kids the importance of good decision-making. Now he's getting help from other men.
The role models met the students for the first time this week at the Carlton Street school on the near East Side. The men come from all walks of life, recruited in venues ranging from colleges to black churches. They have one thing in common: a desire to give back by preparing the next generation.
"It starts at home, but if we can get the children to focus when they are under supervision, they will begin to look at the world as a different place," said Andrew Scott, 25, a SUNY Buffalo State psychology major. "I think they'll have a sense of direction coming out of this program."
Archie Galloway, 56, a retired state Department of Transportation supervisor, already raised his son as a single father. Now he wants to help other boys.
"I want to try to show a positive image to them," said Galloway, who responded to Coplin's pitch at Zion Dominion Church on Sunday.
"If I can show him what a man is supposed to be, if he hasn't had that in his life already, that's what I want to do."
Many haven't had that example. But even those who have – a couple of fathers were on hand at Futures – "need the extra reinforcement," said Coplin, himself a School 37 graduate who has been working in schools since the 1990s.
His group mentoring already has improved attendance and cut "behavioral infractions with the young men," said Principal Tonja Williams.
Now the one-on-one help is preparing the boys for a "gentlemen's day" when they will demonstrate their new social graces by opening doors and carrying books for girls in the school, which uses single-gender classes and is partnering with a variety of education consultants to improve achievement.
But the effort won't end with gentlemen's day. Coplin said the mentors will work with the boys through high school to prepare them for Say Yes to Education's offer of a free college education.
In the process of helping kids, Coplin and the mentors are also answering all of the critics who wonder why strong black men are nowhere to be found.
If you can't find them, you're searching in the wrong places. Try looking for them in the lives of School 37's kids.

Lean: Culture Development is an exploration of the development, preservation and nurturing of Toyota's culture. The two pillars of the Toyota Production System are 'Respect for People' and 'Continuous Improvement.' This course focuses on the first of these two pillars. The meaning of respect in Toyota's context is different from what most people might first think. In the Toyota system, respect equates to a valuing of people and their growth to the point that leadership is measured on the development of those for whom they are responsible over business results.

ENGLEWOOD � Looking for someone to blame for Denver�s latest loss?
Look anywhere other than the locker belonging to No. 18, Peyton Manning.
From a confused defense that couldn�t get off the field to a butterfingered offense that couldn�t stay on it to a coaching staff that got outmaneuvered at every turn, the Broncos dug themselves a hole in a 31-21 loss to New England on Sunday. Manning made his usual determined effort to get them out of it but came up short.
Denver fell to 2-3 and raised a critical question nearly a third of the way into the season: Sure, the Broncos upgraded at quarterback by acquiring Manning in the offseason, but did they take care of the rest?
�There are a lot of what-ifs,� Manning said after the loss. �The key is that we learn from them, and hopefully we can respond next week with the win.�
A look at Denver�s flaws, by the numbers:
89: Working out of a rapidly moving no-huddle offense, the Patriots ran 89 plays on offense � 23 more than Denver � often snapping the ball before the Broncos defense even got aligned. The Broncos allowed 444 yards and four scoring drives of 80 yards or more. They were down 31-7 late in the third quarter.
�It goes back to what you learn in high school,� coach John Fox said Monday. �It�s alignment, assignment and responsibility. It all starts with alignment. It�s important you get lined up.�
35: New England set a franchise record with 35 first downs, which was only four short of the NFL record last reached in 1990. The Patriots also held the ball for 35 minutes, 49 seconds.
17: In the play that summed up the day for Denver, the Broncos allowed New England�s Danny Woodhead to run for 18 yards on third-and-17 to extend a touchdown drive that made it 24-7. The play call came courtesy of former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, now back on the New England sideline as Bill Belichick�s offensive coordinator. It was one of 11 third downs the Patriots converted, four of which were on third-and-10 or longer.
�Really, at the end of the day, our third down�s been a little bit of a bugaboo throughout this portion of the season,� Fox said. �What�s most disheartening about that is they weren�t all third-and-1s.�
12: Number of spots the Denver rushing defense fell in one week after the Patriots ran for 251 yards on 54 carries, from ninth to 21st. It�s also the number of stops made by Denver�s co-leaders in tackles. Those leaders were Michael Adams and Rahim Moore � a pair of safeties, a telltale sign that the opponent�s running backs are getting way too far downfield.
7: Total number of fumbles lost this season by the Broncos, after adding three to the tally on Sunday. Only Kansas City and Philadelphia have lost more. Receiver Demaryius Thomas lost one for the second consecutive week after a long catch from Manning. It stopped Denver�s first drive after Thomas had reached the New England 17. Running back Willis McGahee lost one in the fourth quarter after the Broncos had cut a 24-point deficit to 10 and were at the Patriots 11.
McGahee also dropped an easy catch on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter. Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno hasn�t been on the active roster on game day since losing a fumble in the second week. Asked if players could lose playing time by dropping the ball too much, Fox declined to �get into real detail with that, publicly.�
�But we�re in a production-based business, and I think everyone understands that, and that�s part of it,� Fox said. �That�s not a threat. It�s just how the game is. The buck stops here. I can promise you, it will be addressed, and we�ll get it better.�
4: Yards to go on third down early in the third quarter when the Broncos chose to hand off to backup running back Lance Ball, who gained a yard. Denver punted, and New England went 80 yards on the next drive to make it 24-7. After the game, Fox said there was �probably not great communication on the down and distance.� Pressed on the subject Monday, Fox avoided explaining it, simply calling it �a third-down play that didn�t get enough yardage for a first down.�
4 (Part II): Number of turnovers the Broncos have created in five games. That makes them minus-6 on the takeaway-giveaway ledger, tied for 28th in the NFL.
�Something we say at the beginning of every season is, if you catch all the ones you get your hands on, you�ll lead the league in interceptions,� Fox said. �We�ve not scratched the surface on that one yet.�
1: Despite all these problems, the Broncos are only one game behind San Diego in the AFC West. The Chargers are next on the schedule, next Monday in San Diego.
0: Number of interceptions Manning has thrown since his three-pick first quarter in the second week against Atlanta. He�s thrown for 1,013 yards and eight touchdowns since then. His quarterback ratings in the last three games have been 83.0, 130.0 and 116.2.
Fox didn�t field a single question Monday about Manning�s arm strength or the state of the quarterback�s game. Instead, the questions were about his turnover-prone offense, struggling defense and a handful of coaching decisions.
�We�ll remain very focused and positive,� Fox said, �despite the noise on the outside.�

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Amy Great, versatile paddle This is a great, comfortable paddle that I bought with my SUP! You can make it a double sided paddle - which works great for kids who want to sit and 'kayak' around instead of standing. It floats too. March 17, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by PNWRunner Price to value The price, it's a decent value. I noticed the blade on this paddle is higher quality with little flex. However, the total weight on this paddle is > 40 oz's. That's fairly hefty when compared to other paddles (admittedly pricier). Also, I though the paddle came with an extra blade to turn it into a Kayak paddle, it doesn't. This will cost extra. February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by wendy66 two paddles in one An excellent quality product built for years of use. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nick SUP paddle This is an awesome paddle. Great versatility. I like that I can sit and kayak on my board because it comes with the extra paddle or I can extend it and stand up. June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2Dank Good Product This is a good product. We got it because it is adjustable for all the members of the family on our paddleboard. Sturdy construction. September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Highfructosecornsyrp Good paddle for what it is it is longer than other kayak/sup hybrids which is kind of important. I'm 6'1" and at its fully extended position it is perfect for me Paid 100 for it. Had the price been 80, the quality and value would have been rated 5 stars. I feel 100 is just a bit higher than it should have been priced. It's a bit heavy...but if you're using it for what I do (rivers on a plastic sup), it is perfect. A carbon fiber or fiberglass paddle wouldn't stand up to that type of use. Compared to other hybrid paddles, I would purchase this one again. No buyers remorse August 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by alex18 nice adjustable paddle I purchased with a SUP since it was the only choice in the store. it has worked well and is easily adjustable for people 5'0" to 6'+. it does float but is somewhat heavy. August 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Golfdock Great paddle Paddle for paddle board is great. A little heavier than I expected at first but that is because it is adjustable in length. Being adjustable works great for multiple users. July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ginny Quality product This paddle adjusted easily and was light and easy to handle. It did the job beautifully and made for an enjoyable first paddle boarding experience I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing quality equipment for their water recreation. The additional blade is a plus since I also enjoy kayaking! All-around great product! July 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by SUPscott solid though a bit heavy made for durability, adjustable to fit whole family from small kids to adults, like the conversion to kayak paddle. knew it was heavy from the specs but liked the wide range of adjustment compared to others in this price range July 13, 2013

'Delusional' Dallas workers-comp doctor ordered off job
A Preston Hollow plastic surgeon who reviews workers compensation claims for the state of Texas has been temporarily barred from practicing medicine after claiming he "saved Obama's life."
Dr. Wayne Soignier demonstrated a "lack of fundamental medical knowledge combined with delusional thinking," the Texas Medical Board said in an emergency order this week. He said "he had uncovered a plot to assassinate President Obama by a patient he was assessing. He reported that he contacted the FBI who then poisoned the patient."
Soignier made the claims at a hearing before two other workers-comp doctors. The medical board told him to undergo neurological and psychiatric examination.
Regulators have not previously disciplined Soignier. However, federal court records show that he failed the American Board of Plastic Surgery's specialty-certification exam five times. He unsuccessfully sued that board, alleging that it failed to accommodate his disabilities — which he described, according to court records, as including "attention deficit disorder, difficulty processing and expressing information due to an 'auditory processing disability,' and dyslexia."
Soignier did not respond to a message I left this morning at his Royal Lane office, which he has shared with his wife, a social worker named Cheryl Soignier.
