Each week, executive editor Adam Bryant satisfies your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to�email@example.com.
Any scoop on�The Vampire Diaries?�—�Jessica
You've probably already Season 6's�first teaser, which features Stefan telling Elena to move on. Well, there's a reason their convo wasn't face-to-face. When the season begins, Stefan will definitely not be anywhere near Mystic Falls. In fact, he will have taken up a surprising new profession in his new "home." And while we're the topic of professions, Alaric also has a new job. Hey, newly resurrected vampires have rent to pay too!
How long will Talia be sticking around on�NCIS: LA? —�Mary
Sorry, Densi 'shippers: It doesn't look like Talia (Mercedes Masohn) is going anywhere soon. "We love this character," executive producer Shane Brennan says. "Without a doubt we'll be bringing her back." But don't expect Talia and Kensi to become BFFs anytime soon. "Let's just say things become heated between [Talia] and Kensi when Talia gives her some unasked-for advice," Brennan teases. "Her impact is both emotional and physical." Can you say catfight?
What teases can you give about the new season of�Chicago Fire? I'm still not prepared to lose someone from Firehouse 51! —�Jacob�
Unfortunately, the building collapse in the Season 2 finale isn't the only mishap the team will deal with in the new season. Truck 81 will be involved in a nasty accident that leaves at least one of Firehouse 51's team members injured. Even worse, the person driving the rig will come under major fire for his part in the crash. Can't these guys catch a break?�
Any information on how Unser will be dealing with Tara's death on�Sons of Anarchy�since his misinformation is what got her killed? —�Britt, via Twitter
Page 2 of 4 - Although Wayne isn't exactly privy to how his words led to Tara's doom, he's mourning the loss. So much so, in fact, that he even finds a way to help the new sheriff with the murder investigation. Although it's great to see Unser flexing some of his old lawman muscle, there's at least a couple people who certainly don't want Unser digging around. In other words, he better watch his back.
I would love any�NCIS�spoilers you might have. —�Laura
It's been a while since we checked in with SecNav Sarah Porter, no? Fear not: Leslie Hope will reprise her role in an episode slated to air in mid-October (the same episode that will introduce Stephanie Jacobsen as DiNozzo's�new love interest). The episode, appropriately titled "Choke Hold," finds the team investigating the bizarre strangling of a Navy research scientist. Hmm, sounds like the kind of case SecNav can really get her hands around!
Although I love Jaime on�Outlander, Claire has an intriguing chemistry with her husband's evil ancestor, "Black Jack" Randall. What can you tell me about him?�— Val
Soon we'll see Claire leave Castle Leoch to visit the surrounding lands, where she'll encounter more English redcoats. And where we find redcoats, we'll find Jack. He'll have a little heart-to-heart with the pretty time traveler that will reveal just how sick, twisted and sadistic he can be. A word of advice: Don't eat before you watch! On a lighter note, expect to see a couple familiar faces — author Diana Gabaldon and series creator Ron Moore — at a lively gathering�on Saturday's�episode. There will be tartans, booze and bagpipes aplenty!
What can you say about the new season of�Nashville? —�Evelyn
Rayna will have to say an emotional goodbye to someone close to her early in Season 3. No, we're not talking about Luke or Deacon, but Rayna's sister, Tandy! As Connie Britton first hinted on�Instagram, Tandy will depart�the show when she decides to take a job at a nonprofit in San Francisco in an effort to finally step out of her father's and sister's shadows once and for all. Can she take Teddy with her?
Page 3 of 4 -
I still can't believe Mindy and Danny are going to be together this season on�The Mindy Project. Are they gonna last this time? —�Samantha
Unfortunately, the happy couple will hit a snag early in the season when Mindy learns that... Danny isn't technically divorced! While that naturally creates a big speed bump in their romantic relationship, it also strains their working one. After all, Danny's ownership in their practice could be at stake in his divorce settlement. Talk about a buzzkill!
What's happening on�The Goldbergs�this season?�—�Jennifer
You heard about Ana Gasteyer�guest-starring�as drama teacher Miss Cinoman, right? She'll work closely with Adam as he preps his audition for the school musical. But when the outcome isn't quite what Adam had in mind, Miss Cinoman (and the principal!) will land squarely in the crosshairs of — who else? — Mama Bear Beverly. Anyone want to take bets on when Adam will have to change schools?
I�need more�Suits�scoop after that ending!�—�Whitney
As if Jessica and Malone didn't have trust issues already, their no-longer-down-low romance will become even more fraught now that Louis knows about Mike. "Jessica and Malone in [Episode] 11 will be dealing with the consequences of that professionally first and foremost, which will affect their relationship in the future. It's a big toll," executive producer Aaron Korsh teases. And no, Malone has definitely not forgotten about Louis asking him for help in Episode 9. "That plays heavily into how Malone reacts and what he wants to do."
Graceland�has been great this season, but I miss seeing everyone in the house together. —�Gina�
Don't worry, Gina. Although having everyone scattered to the four winds can be frustrating, Daniel Sunjata promises it will be worth it."These things that seem a little bit disparate and only barely tangential, they are all actually very related," he says. "[The plots] will become more focused and more clear. There will be more group scenes, and we will see these various plot threads begin to dovetail more intensely as we approach the season finale."
Page 4 of 4 - How will�About a Boy�keep going now that Will is living 3,000 miles away in New York? —�Mark
Although Will is still living in the Big Apple when the series returns for Season 2, he will soon find himself back in San Francisco. The reason? One of his friends learns there is a baby on the way. Naturally, Fiona will get involved, offering her doula services to the happy couple.
Mega Rave: While his win was a bit of a shock, I couldn't be happier that the TV Academy decided to honor Bryan Cranston one last time for his stunning work during�Breaking Bad's homestretch. It's OK, McConaughey — just keep livin'.
Mini Rant:�It's a shame Weird Al squandered all his recent chart-topping success with that painful-to-watch TV theme songs bit at the Emmys.���

Town of Tonawanda Councilman Daniel J. Crangle was charged with second-degree harassment and third-degree stalking on Saturday, following a complaint by his wife.
Crangle told The Buffalo News that he has been trying for the past several months to reconcile with his wife, Kit.
"I have 30 years of marriage and I'm trying to work it out, and it's just not working out," he said.
In the past two years, Crangle and his wife have both filed domestic complaints with the police – but until this weekend, neither had filed charges against the other.
The Democratic councilman attributed the public release of the charges to his political foes.
"It's an election year this year. They're already starting," he said. "There are people in the police department who don't like me and what I stand for. There are personal reports that are being leaked by the police department."
Crangle was arraigned Saturday by Kenmore Village Judge Scott Riordan and released on his own recognizance.
Riodran issued an order of protection directing Crangle to stay away from his wife.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration have been evaluating two potential north-south corridors for the future realignment/relocation of SR 95 in northwestern Arizona from south of I-40 to SR 68. SR 95 is the primary north-south highway in western Arizona, linking the communities of Bullhead City, Arizona, and Laughlin, Nevada, with other towns and communities to the south along the Colorado River, such as Lake Havasu City, Parker and Quartzsite. While the goal to facilitate regional traffic flow through northwestern Arizona remains valid, the studies are being suspended due to funding constraints. Work completed to date has been archived for future use once funds are available to re-initiate the study.

A decision about whether to give health care to more low-income Ohioans through Medicaid is one of the biggest questions facing the governor and state lawmakers this year.
Gov. John Kasich will announce Monday whether he supports expanding the government-funded Medicaid program.
Making Medicaid more available is a key element under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
But it's up to states to decide whether they want to go along with the Medicaid expansion.
Supporters say it will cut down on the costs passed on to those with health insurance and hospitals that treat the uninsured.
Opponents argue that it will only add more to the national debt and that the costs to Ohio will be greater than predicted.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
In a world that is striving for better, cheaper, and faster means of discovering the next medical magic bullet, many researchers are going back to the drawing board. "Column technology for bioseparations stood still while biological sciences advanced," said Dorothy Phillips, Ph.D., director of strategic marketing in chemistry commercial operations at Waters. "Scientists discovered that the chromatographic peaks were too wide or broad to give the required resolution, resulting in a focus on developing or updating the column chemistries."
Furthermore, the push for translational medicine has come at a cost to basic science, noted Rich Vaillancourt, associate professor, department of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. "What we need is a balance between basic science and translational research."
On the other hand, proteins were a largely untouched frontier in the past because the technology wasn't available to tap into that potential. "Reversible phosphorylation is the most common regulator of cellular events, which is why kinases are so prominent in drug discovery research," said Rick Wiese, Ph.D., manager of bioscience R&D at Millipore. "Approximately 30 percent of cellular proteins are regulated by reversible phosphorylation, which gives researchers a pretty big target."
As the push to move more compounds to the clinic picks up speed, conferences reflect the tension between developing technology and basic science, as well as the priority issues between developing drugs for higher incidence diseases versus niche indications. At the recent BIT "Life Sciences Conference" in Beijing and CHI's "World Biomarker Conference" in Philadelphia, scientists shared some of their latest discoveries—and challenges—in coaxing answers from proteins to bolster the drug discovery pipeline.
In his talk at the CHI meeting. Dr. Wiese spoke about the importance of detecting phosphorylation and other post-translational modifications (PTMs) in order to understand cellular communication and treat many disease states. He noted that current intracellular protein assays such as Western blotting are limited due to a lack of specificity and low throughput. In addition, they are not quantitative, nor are they easily multiplexed.
"Traditional Luminex xMAP cell-signaling assays are multiplexed, but they are qualitative, limited in plex size, and require multiple wells to study multiple PTM sites on a protein. Further complications ensue when there is competition between two proteins in the same well you are trying to interrogate."
Dr. Wiese pointed out that Milliplex MAP EpiQuant assays are quantitative and can measure multiple PTM sites and total protein in the same well with picomolar sensitivity. "We did a quantitative time-course expression analysis of 105 intracellular phosphotyrosine targets and 42 cytokines/chemokines in stimulated A549 cells. The experiment required less than three 96-well plates, thereby saving sample, reagents, laboratory time, and resources."
By providing large, analytically validated panels of cell-signaling targets, EpiQuant technology enables researchers to create a kit that best meets their needs and quantitatively measure multiple phosphorylation sites, as well as total protein in the same well, said Dr. Wiese. "In addition, screening large panels can be of benefit because discoveries are often made accidentally; something pops that you weren't expecting."

With just hours remaining before Buffalo students return to their classrooms, 54 city teachers from three low-performing schools remained in limbo late Tuesday, still unsure where they will be teaching this year.
But that doesn't mean there weren't any developments in the case Tuesday, the day that teachers returned to their schools.
The Buffalo Teachers Federation had legal papers filed Tuesday, in part asking for a restraining order to prevent the school district from continuing to implement the transfers. The district had transferred the teachers, against their wishes, as part of its turnaround plans for three low-performing schools.
Last week, an arbitrator, ruling that the involuntary transfers violated the teachers contract, ordered the district not to implement those transfers. Top school officials, who could not be reached to comment Tuesday, have said they haven't decided whether to appeal the arbitrator's decision.
The matter also could be settled outside the courts. School Board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak has called a special meeting for 4 p.m. today to discuss the board's options in the case.
That has left Buffalo Teachers Federation President Philip Rumore fuming that this issue won't be resolved until after students report to their classrooms.
"We asked the district weeks ago for an expedited arbitration to get this resolved," he said Tuesday. "They're just dragging their feet and waiting until the last minute."
Rumore also released a copy of a memo he sent to School Superintendent Dr. Pamela C. Brown on Tuesday.
"Teachers can't believe that you are waiting until Wednesday, Sept. 5 (after school begins), to make a decision as to whether to 'live up' to an arbitrator's decision that stated you have, once again, violated our contract," Rumore wrote.
The union chief said he assumed that the 54 teachers reported Tuesday to the schools where they were reassigned.

Freeport: Leigh Hartog (15th in 200 IM at 2:08.01; 52nd in 100 breast stroke at 1:07.89); Meg Gantzer (32nd in diving at 377.45); 200 medley relay (33rd at 1:49.38); Sophie Dammann (35th in in 500 free at 5:19.54); Lexie Joy (41st in 200 free at 1:56.07; 43rd in 100 free at 53.65); 400 free relay (42nd at 3:40.59); Emily Schierer (48th in the 100 breast stroke at 1:07.66)
Boylan: Abby Olson (9th in 50 back at 57.36); 200 free relay (39th at 1:39.63); Kristian Kladar (56th in 50 free at 25.35)
Belvidere: Olivia Cacciatore (19th in 100 fly at 57.39; 21st in 100 breast stroke at 1:06.00); Abby Hawkes (32nd in 100 fly at 58.15)
Rockford Christian: Lydia Reinhardt (33rd in 100 fly at 58.19)
Hononegah: Kendra Wulf (36th in diving at 372.10)
Meg Gantzer picked a good day record her best diving performance ever.
Now the Freeport senior hopes to step up another level at this weekend's IHSA girls state swimming and diving championships at New Trier High School.
"That was definitely my best. The great competition really brought it out in me," Gantzer said. "This was the meet that counted, and I found my best. The big thing this week will be figuring out a way to go even higher at state."
Gantzer scored a career-high 377.45 points to win last Saturday's Byron Sectional, and she knocked off her rival, Hononegah's Kendra Wulf, for the first time in competition. They both qualified for the state meet — Wulf advanced on her score — and they will both need to improve their personal-best marks to advance to Saturday's finals.
"I finally got her," Gantzer said. "She's such a great diver, and to finally catch her, and in this meet at this time of year, it was so emotional for me.
"I was on, that's for sure. I only had one dive that I didn't nail. It's going to have to be even better at state if I want to finish strong."
Gantzer is seeded 32nd headed in (Wulf is 36th), and only the top 12 move on to the finals. The diving prelims begins at 9 a.m. on Friday.
Gantzer is not the only Pretzel headed to New Trier. Four other Freeport individuals qualified, as did two relay teams.
Based on sectional times, Leigh Hartog has the best shot at making Saturday's finals, as she enters state with a 15th seed in the 200-yard individual medley.
Lexie Joy qualified for state in all four of her events, including the 100 and 200 freestyle races. But she will have to chop her times down in everything to extend her season one more day.
"You've got to know how to get the best out of your body at this time of year. That's what it's all about right now," Joy said. "We all feel ready to make a push at state. Can we do it? We'll see."
Sophie Dammann will get her shot in the 500-free, and Emily Schierer will have to climb up from near the bottom of the sectional seeds in the 100 breaststroke to keep her senior season alive. Both the Pretzels' 400 free relay and the 200 medley relay teams advanced, but are seeded in the lower half.
Another area swimmer with a chance of making this a two-day finale is Belvidere senior Olivia Cacciatore, who is seeded in the top half of both the 100 butterfly and the 100 breast stroke. Boylan's Abby Olson has the highest seed of any local, heading to Winnetka with a ninth seed in the 100 back stroke.
Page 2 of 2 - Also headed to state this weekend are Boylan's Kristian Kladar (50 free), the Titans' 200 free relay team, Belvidere's Abby Hawkes (100 butterfly) and Rockford Chrisian's Lydia Reinhardt (100 butterfly)
The swimming preliminary races kick off at 3:30 p.m. Friday, while both the swimming and diving finals will start at 1 p.m. Saturday.

|Keep Your Holiday Season Merry and Bright
For Immediate Release

Keep Your Holiday Season Merry and Bright
(Springfield, Ill.)—The holidays are an exciting time of year, but the celebrations and decorations do pose electrical safety hazards. Keep safety top of mind so that your holiday season stays merry and bright.
Electrical accidents typically increase during the holiday season. The U.S. Consumer and Product Safety Commission reports that during the two months surrounding the holiday season, more than 14,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms due to injuries related to holiday decorating. In 2010, the National Fire Protection Association stated that holiday lights were involved in an average of 150 reported home structure fires per year during 2004-2008. Those fires caused an average of eight civilian deaths, 16 civilian injuries, and $8.9 million in direct property damage per year.
When decorating outside, remember the experience of Shawn Miller from Indiana. He was seriously injured when lights that he tossed into a tree made contact with overhead lines. Shawn lost his left hand and suffered numerous other injuries in the tragic accident. See his story at SafeElectricity.org.
"Please take note of your surroundings before decorating outside," Miller urges, "especially power lines and the service connection to your home. Make sure to keep yourself, ladders, and lights far away from them." For your safety follow these additional precautions:
Overhead power lines pose a safety threat, but so do many of the indoor decorations we use. Remember these importance safety tips from the Energy Education Council's Safe Electricity program in your celebrations:
Entertaining during the holiday season often involves cooking for family friends. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, over 30 percent of home fires and injuries are caused by cooking. Protect yourself from the hazards of cooking by keeping these tips in mind:
The Energy Education Council wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Help keep yourself, your family, and those you entertain safe. Learn more about electrical safety at SafeElectricity.org.

The Energy Education Council is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety and energy efficiency. Established in 1952, the Council is headquartered within the University of Illinois Extension, and serves as a forum for diverse utility and energy organizations to collaborate on the mutually vital issues of efficiency and safety.

LOCKPORT – The Dunkirk man who fled his sex-abuse trial last month will be brought back from Arizona to face punishment, but now his wife is in trouble with the law, too.
The U.S. Marshals Service found Paul S. Turley and his wife, Diane, staying with acquaintances at a mobile home in Tucson, Ariz. on Friday, after tracking the couple across several states over the past month, officials said a news conference on Saturday.
Turley was arraigned Friday in Arizona on charges of absconding, while his wife is accused of helping him runaway and is charged with hindering prosecution, a felony, according to WIVB-TV. Both will be brought back to Niagara County.
Turley, 47, of Lincoln Avenue, Dunkirk, disappeared Jan. 23 while on trial in Lockport on charges of molesting two girls in North Tonawanda between August 1996 and June 1998.
Turley faces a prison term of up to 39 years at his scheduled sentencing on April 19.

I love "reverse" lip liners like the one from DuWop and Cargo which keep color but allow you to slightly extend your lip line. This was a great assortment of products!

I agree, really hard to beat MAC. The best in my opinion but always nice to see cheaper priced alternatives. Might try some of them thank you

Former Durango resident Desiderio Valdez died Sunday, April 15, 2012, in Oklahoma City after a short battle with cancer. He was 80.
Known as �Dessie,� he was born to Emma Valdez-Montoya on Sept. 23, 1931, in Lumberton, N.M. He moved to Durango when he was 15 and began working at the sawmill.
On Aug. 25, 1950, he married Alejandrena �Rena� Jaramillo in Durango.
The couple lived in Durango until 1990, when Mr. Valdez�s work in mining led to a move to Beatty, Nev. Before he started mining, he was a logger for many years.
Mr. Valdez returned to Durango in 2007, after his wife died. He had moved to Oklahoma City earlier this year.
�He was a very creative man who loved to work with his hands,� his family said. �He especially loved to create things with pictures and stickers. He was a jokester and loved making people laugh. And we can�t forget his love of casinos.�
Mr. Valdez was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Rena Valdez; and sons Leonard Valdez and Tom Valdez.
He is survived by his daughters Berlinda Mestas of Durango, Barbara �Bob� Owen of Oklahoma City and Deidra Valencia of Austin, Texas; sons Ray Valdez of Durango and Ron Valdez of Ridgecrest, Calif.; sisters Theresa Romero and Edna Montoya, both of Durango, and Socorro Abeyta of Aztec; brothers Rubel Montoya, Frank Montoya and Joe Montoya, all of Durango; 11 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Cremation has occurred. A rosary will be recited at 6 p.m. Friday, May 4, 2012, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 254 East Fifth Ave. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 5, 2012, also at Sacred Heart. The Rev. Larry Gallegos will be the celebrant. Burial of the ashes will take place at Greenmount Cemetery after the Mass.

COLUMBIA - South Carolinians let their conservative colors fly when asked about taxes and gambling in a new Palmetto Politics poll.
A poll of 1,000 of the state's likely voters asked if they supported or opposed three issues that have been raised by the legislature in Columbia: the legalization of online gambling and medical marijuana, and increasing the sales tax in favor of eliminating the income tax.
None of the results were surprising to experts, given the way in which each question was asked. Plus during midterm elections, the electorate tends to be more conservative. Of those polled, 57 percent said they considered themselves conservatives when thinking about politics.
Online gambling
It was no surprise to College of Charleston Political Science Professor Gibbs Knotts that in a state where large percentages of residents identify as Protestants or conservative Protestants, gambling did not sit well. What did catch him off guard was that the question specifically addressed online gambling, and still 68 percent opposed its legalization, while 17 percent supported it. Fifteen percent were undecided.
"I think that gambling doesn't sit well with a large percentage of the people in South Carolina for moral and religious reasons," Knotts said. "The fact that over two-thirds of the people oppose legalizing online gambling would make it very difficult for folks in Columbia to pass that."
Knotts suggested asking the question with a beneficial tie, such as using cash generated from online gambling for education or another popular program.
Pollster Jim Lee said voters tend to look at these issues through the prism of "what's in it for me and is there a reason to oppose this."
"Online gambling is not an issue that the general public, in my opinion, has a lot of familiarity with to know if it's really a net gain or net loss for the state," Lee said. "Most people really don't see a reason why they should really say yes to that question unless there's some carrot there."
Plus, unlike medical marijuana, which has received so much attention through the testimony of those who have benefited from it, online gambling is not an issue that has received much media attention.
Medical marijuana
On the heels of a legislative session and a June Democratic primary question about medical marijuana, voters are beginning to accept the idea, the poll found.
Among those polled, more than half, 53 percent, support medical marijuana, while 36 percent oppose it. Ten percent were undecided.
Ever since Washington state and Colorado allowed recreational use of pot - a more far-reaching and controversial prospect - medical marijuana has also gained traction. Among its biggest proponents are patient advocates, who say medical marijuana has an untold number of benefits and can alleviate suffering. Advocates want South Carolina to become the first Southern state to join the 22 other states and the District of Columbia that allow for medical marijuana.
The medical establishment, however, is largely opposed. Medical organizations say marijuana remains illegal under federal law and has not been sufficiently tested.
The Statehouse was buzzing about the issue during its session this year. A late start on an effort to pass a bill that would allow for so-called CBD oil to be used as treatment especially for epilepsy gained traction and was passed.
Other polls have showed an even higher acceptance for medical marijuana. Lee said that the Palmetto Politics poll would skew more conservatively because it polled only those who are likely to vote.
In the poll, younger voters tended to support medical marijuana by a two-to-one margin, he said, meaning the issue is unlikely to go away. "You see a big dichotomy between older voters and younger voters," he said.
Sales tax vs. income tax
The participants of the poll seemed most divided on whether they supported increasing the sales tax as a way to eliminate the income tax, with only 40 percent saying they were in favor of the measure.
Of the remaining participants, 34 percent said they opposed the idea, while 26 percent said they were undecided.
Sen. Katrina Shealy, R-Lexington, has been pushing for the elimination of the personal income tax, without raising the sales tax. But if there was a tax to increase, the sales tax is the most equitable, she said.
"Everybody pays sales tax," said Shealy, adding that includes out-of-state visitors.
Knotts said it's obvious that low taxes are a big priority in the Palmetto State. The sales tax affects everybody, but it's a more complex policy issue.
A closer look at those polled revealed the answers depended on the segment of the population. Republicans were more likely to support the idea than Democrats.
"There's certainly an education that needs to happen there so that people can understand if they are winners or losers in this plan," Lee said. "Lower income families, according to census bureau reports, spend a higher percentage of their disposable income on necessities and items that presumably would be subject to higher sales taxes. As a result, they're not sold on the trade off."

Cubs Battle Wyverns to 2-2 Tie at Fitch Park
Tyler Skulina and five relievers combined to toss a four-hitter, and Carlos Penalver tripled, singled, walked, and scored both Cub runs, as the Cubs and the SK Wyverns (KBO) played to a 2-2 tie in Arizona Instructional League action this afternoon at Fitch Park Field #4 in Mesa.
Two Korean (KBO) teams sent developmental squads to the Arizona Instructional League this year, witb the SK Wyverns prospects playing in the AZIL East with the Cubs, A's, Angels, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Giants, Rockies, and Las Aguilas de Mexicali (LMP), while the NC Dinos youngsters are assigned to the AZIL West with the Dodgers, Indians, Mariners, Reds, Rangers, Royals, and White Sox. (The Padres are not fielding a team in the AZIL this year, instead opting to send all of their kids to the Dominican Instructional League that begins after the conclusion of the AZIL).
In addition to the traditional AZ Instructional League, there is also an AZ Advanced Instructional League (AZAIL) operating now, too. This league is designed for older and more experienced players than those normally assigned to the AZIL, and consists of squads from the Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Rangers, Reds, Royals, a Mariners/Brewers co-op team, and Los Naranjeros de Hermosillo and Los Yaquis de Obregon from the Mexican Pacific League.
Six Cubs players who have been assigned to the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League (AFL) saw game action in today's AZIL game at Fitch Park, to prep for AFL Opening Day next Tuesday. .
2012 #1 draft pick Albert Almora played CF and batted second in the order, going 0-3 with a 1-3 comebacker to the mound, a P-2 foul out to the catcher, and a strike out (swinging). He caught one fly ball (basket catch, 'natch).
Jorge Soler played RF and batted third, getting three Plate Appearances and reaching base twice on a walk and a line single to left-center. But he was also picked-off 1st base (and he was totally frozen on the play, too, didn't even move, almost like he was distracted or not paying attention).
2013 #1 draft pick Kris Bryant played 3rd base, hit clean-up, and and batted three times, hitting into a 6-4 FC to end the bottom of the 1st, before striking out (swinging) in each of his final two AB (both times on breaking balls on a 1-2 count). He also commited one error in the field (an easy one-hop bouncer hit right at him, that bounced in & out of his glove before dribbling into foul territory).
In addition, Wes Darvill (who is assigned to the Solar Sox "taxi squad," meaning he can play only on Wednesdays and Saturdays) got the start at 2nd base and went 0-2 with a walk, and RHRPs Armando Rivero and Lendy Castillo threw one shutout inning a piece.
The defensive gem of the day was turned-in by 2B Gioskar Amaya, who ranged behind 2nd base with no outs in the top of the 6th to make a diving stop of a grounder headed for CF, and then (from his knees) threw out the Wyverns baserunner trying to advance from 1st to 2nd.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1a. Trey Martin, LF: 1-2 (1-3, 2B, F-9 SF, RBI)

still, i don't want to see a $3m+ manager before i want about 1/2 dozen other things involving money to happen to this team. btw, i keep throwing $3m+ around conservatively, but ultimately girardi is most likely going to command $4m+...especially with 2 of the richest teams in the game supposedly wanting his services.
I seriously doubt that if the
I seriously doubt that if the Cubs spent even $5 million on a manager they would turn around and say about Free Agent X, "oh no, we can't afford him now, because we just paid the ghost of Ron Santo 5 million!!!"
The managerial salary has no impact on what they'll spend on players, I am pretty sure.

We've been burned in the past by the insistence of hiring a "big name"...see Dusty Baker...see Lou Piniella. Girardi is a great manager and I would love to have him, but if it's not meant to be then it isn't the end of the world.

Why not AJ Hinch? A lot of outstanding managers had failed stops elsewhere before things came together. Terry Francona is shining example of this...he spent 4 lousy seasons managing in Philly before he was fired, then regrouped and evenually Theo hired him in Boston where he presided over 2 World Series Championships. I don't need a "winning pedigree" in a manager. What did that ever get us with Dusty Baker or Lou Piniella? A big fat nothing is the answer. Girardi would be great, but it doesn't appear he is interested in leaving the Yankees. And I can hardly blame him.
AJ Hinch, Sandy Alomar Jr., Eric Wedge, Torey Lovullo, Tony Pena, maybe Davey Martinez, maybe Bud Black, maybe Mike Maddux...a lot of intriguing names.
Again, Mike Maddux is not a
Again, Mike Maddux is not a candidate unless his grade school and high school-age children moved out of his house and took jobs to support themselves.
Or - he changed his mind from his last interview with Theo from two years ago and decided he doesn't care as much about "spending time with his family".

Defeatism, thy name is fan-Cubbery (Cub-fannery?)!
Girardi has never turned down an offer from the Cubs. They could have signed him after the 2006 season, but Hendry had never watched him play high-school ball, so he signed the home-town guy instead. After the 2010 season, Hendry said Quade had earned the job; otherwise it would probably have gone to Sandberg.
Ricketts romanced Epstein and signed him, he can do the same with Girardi; and there are indications that he would like to try.

He's certainly no guarantee of success in player development, but if he isn't qualified to try, then no other recent example is, either. I'm surprised to report that I actually feel OK about this idea.

So I started warming up, and I look over, and Maddux was just kind of staring at me. I'm thinking, "What does he know that I don't know? He's not warming up. The game's in 10 minutes." And then sure enough, here come the groundskeepers to roll out the tarp."

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

Lung Cancer Health Center
Small-Cell Lung Cancer
In this article
When to Seek Medical Care
- Consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms are present:
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing up blood
- Unexplained weight loss
- Voice change
- New cough or change in the consistency of a cough
- Unexplained persistent fatigue
- Unexplained deep aches or pains
- Call 911 if any of the following symptoms are present:
Exams and Tests for Lung Cancer
- Initial exams and tests for suspected lung cancer may include the following:
- Medical, surgical, work, and smoking history
- Physical exam to check for general signs of health
- Chest X-ray
- CT scan of the chest: An X-ray machine linked to a computer takes a series of detailed pictures of the inside of the chest from different angles. Other names of this procedure are computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
- Thoracentesis: The lungs are enclosed in a sac. Lung cancer can cause fluid to collect in this sac. This is called pleural effusion. In people who have cancer, this fluid may contain cancer cells. The fluid is removed by a needle and examined for the presence of cancer cells.
- Bronchoscopy: This is a procedure used to look inside the trachea (windpipe) and large airways in the lung for abnormal areas. A bronchoscope (a thin, flexible, lighted tube with a tiny camera on the end) is inserted through the mouth or nose and down the windpipe. From there, it can be inserted into the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. During bronchoscopy, the doctor looks for tumors and takes a biopsy sample (a sample of cells that is removed for examination under a microscope) from the airways.
- Lung biopsy: If a tumor is on the periphery of the lung, it may not be seen with bronchoscopy. Instead, a biopsy sample has to be taken with the help of a needle inserted through the chest wall and into the tumor. This procedure is called a transthoracic needle biopsy.
- Mediastinoscopy: This procedure is performed to determine the extent the tumor has spread into the mediastinum (the area of the chest between the lungs). Mediastinoscopy is a procedure in which a tube is inserted behind the breastbone through a small cut at the lowest part of the neck. Samples of the lymph nodes (small, bean-shaped structures found throughout the body) are taken from this area to look for cancer cells.
- Once the patient has been diagnosed with lung cancer, exams and tests are performed to find out whether the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs. These tests help determine the stage of the cancer. Staging is important, because lung cancer treatment is based on the stage of the cancer. Tests used to detect the spread of cancer may include the following:
- Blood tests: Complete blood count -- CBC -- provides information about the type and count of different types of blood cells, serum electrolytes, kidney function, and liver function. In some cases, these tests may identify the site of metastasis. These tests are also important to assess the organ functions before starting treatment.
- CT scan of the chest and abdomen: An X-ray machine linked to a computer takes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body from different angles. The doctor may inject a dye into a vein. A contrast agent may be given to swallow so that the organs or tissues more clearly show up on the scan.
- MRI: MRI is an imaging technique used to produce high-quality images of the inside of the body. A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body are taken from different angles. The difference between an MRI and CT scan is that MRI uses magnetic waves, whereas CT scan uses X-rays for the procedure.
- Radionuclide bone scan: With the help of this procedure, the doctor determines whether the lung cancer has spread to the bones. The doctor injects a minute quantity of radioactive material into the vein; this material travels through the bloodstream. If the cancer has spread to the bones, the radioactive material collects in the bones and is detected by a scanner.
- PET scan: a small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream and measures the metabolism of the organs to see if the cancer has spread.
- Staging of the cancer provides important information about the outlook of the patient's condition and helps the doctor plan the best treatment. Although other cancers are categorized from stage I to stage IV, small-cell lung cancer is classified in two stages.
- Limited stage: In this stage, the tumor is confined to one side of the chest, the tissues between the lungs, and nearby lymph nodes only.
- Extensive stage: In this stage, cancer has spread from the lung to other parts of the body.

The first career double-double by Katie Healy (Lancaster) and a solid all-around game from Doris Ortega were not enough to help St. Bonaventure return to its winning ways as the Bonnies women dropped their fifth in a row, 64-51, to visiting Virginia Commonwealth in the Atlantic 10 at the Reilly Center.
Elsewhere, the University at Buffalo got trounced by hot-shooting Central Michigan, 86-51, at McGuirk Arena in Mount Pleasant, Mich.
Healy finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Ortega flirted with a triple-double (12 points, nine rebounds and seven assists), but Bona (9-15, 2-7) couldn't recover from the Rams' decisive 21-6 run midway through the second half — sparked by Adaeze Alaeze's three-pointer that gave VCU a 37-35 lead. That was the 13th and final lead change. Robyn Parks came off the bench and scored a game-high 21 points for the Rams (9-15, 2-7), who snapped a six-game losing streak.
The Bonnies, who led 24-21 at halftime, hurt themselves by failing to take care of the ball as their 22 turnovers turned into 26 points by VCU.
In Mid-American Conference play, UB was tied early, 8-8, but Central Michigan (14-9, 8-2), which shot 48.5 percent for the game, broke away with a 12-2 run and led by 38-25 at intermission. Central scored the first 11 points of the second half and cruised from there. Cherridy Thornton had 22 points to lead UB (7-16, 5-5).

The wildfire spread of wakesurfing rages on around the globe and the fastest growing sport on the water just keeps getting better. The feeling of freedom experienced on an endless wave has everyone on board with people of all ages getting behind the boat for the ride of their life. Everyone is sharing the stoke and customizable waves with big open faces bring the beach right to the back of your boat. With new technology for 2016, our Nautique Surf System® is available on all Super Air Nautique Series boats giving surfers more control than ever before to fine tune their perfect wave.
The future of customized wakesurfing control has arrived with the all-new Nautique Surf Select. Put control of the wave into the hands of the surfer with the Nautique Surf Switch for one-touch transfers exactly when the surfer desires. For total customization, the Nautique Surf Select app for the Pebble™ Watch features the ability to fine tune the Zero Off Speed Control, NSS, NCRS, stereo volume and track while allowing surfers to transfer the wave instantly or at a three-second countdown. Nautique Surf Select is the only system on the market with positive feedback from the helm displayed right on your watch keeping your current settings in view at all times.
The NSS is an integrated system that utilizes our unique WAVEPLATE® to allow surfers the ability to create a wave on either side of the boat instantly without the need to offload ballast or people. With 3x faster deployment for 2016, the WAVEPLATE extends outward and down from the transom intercepting and redirecting the flow of water to clean up the opposite wake and form a surf wave like no other boat. This not only gives you the ability to form a wave on either side instantly, but also allows for wave customization with variable intensity settings that adjust wave steepness and shape by controlling exactly how much the plate is engaged.
Controlling the NSS is the simple press of a button. Integrated into our Nautique LINC system, users have the ability to customize their settings on the fly and save them in a personalized profile that stores and automatically engages your preferred speed, ballast settings, and WAVEPLATE position.
The NSS uses our WAVEPLATE technology to manipulate the wave form without the need to move people and ballast from side to side. This is done by redirecting the flow of water coming off the boat instead of having to change the position of the boat's hull surface to create the desired flow in order to get the wave shape you want. This not only gives you the ability to form a wave on either side instantly, but also allows for wave customization with variable intensity settings that adjust wave steepness and shape by controlling exactly how much the plate is engaged.

From the Met's modern wing...
(My favorites were the paintings by Josef Albers. I was so in love with them that I completely forgot to take pictures. True story. Another favorite was Shimmer Bright by Barnett Newman.)
I love watching people watch art. I'd like to do a project based on that.
The picture above is the only one where I remembered to write down a source. It's Ellsworth Kelly's Spectrum V.
I think the one on the left is called Sunflowers. It was stunning in person. I also got to see my second Piet Mondrian. He's the guy responsible for the blocks of color, usually in black, white, yellow, blue, and red. A few years ago I saw one at the U of U's art museum and it blew me away. The brush strokes were so delicate and meticulous. Having been raised on art, my appreciation for modern work has grown tremendously over the years.

INWOOD - After a blistering first quarter, it looked like Martinsburg was going to run away with an easy win over Musselman.
The Applemen had other ideas.
Musselman threw everything it had at the Bulldogs, but the state's top-ranked team was just too much as Martinsburg earned a 60-50 win Friday night at Cline Court.

High school boys basketball
For the Bulldogs (19-2), it was about as good of a start as they could have wanted as they jumped out to a 15-point lead and had a 13-point lead after one quarter.
Musselman (13-8) took the 2-0 lead on a basket by Trevon Wesco, but the Applemen didn't score again until the 3:17 mark of the first, while the Bulldogs were off and running.
After Wesco's basket, Martinsburg scored the next 17 points.

Journal photo by Ron Agnir
Martinsburg's Denzel Cole flies to the basket on a fastbreak during the first quarter of the Bulldogs' win over Musselman Friday.
Jordan Robinson got the Bulldogs going with seven straight points, including a 3-pointer. Donte' Grantham, who led all scorers with 19 points, had a rebound and putback to put the Bulldogs up 9-2 three minutes in.
Martinsburg continued its hot shooting, scoring the next eight points. Denzel Cole knocked down a 3-pointer from straight on, then Grantham followed with a layup and a three-point play to extend the advantage to 15 points.
"We started out strong, and I thought early on, we were sharing the ball well," Martinsburg coach Dave Rogers said. "Then, all of a sudden, we started to play selfish basketball, and I saw a lot of individual play, and you don't win basketball games that way."
The Applemen made two runs, the biggest coming midway through the second quarter.
Down by 13 points after the first quarter, Musselman cut the lead to six points with 5:40 left in the first half with a 7-0 run in which the Applemen got baskets inside from Ricker McDonald and Wesco and a 3-pointer by C.J. Venable for a 24-18 Martinsburg advantage.
"(Martinsburg) started off really well, and we put ourselves in a hole early," Musselman coach Derek Basile said. "Our kids fought back hard."
Much like the first quarter, the third quarter went in favor of the Bulldogs as they extended their lead to 53-36 by outscoring the Applemen 16-10. Jalen Lewis and Cole each had five points.
Musselman made another run, much smaller this time, as it got the lead down to 10 points with 1:25 left in the game on two free throws by Lee Daniel and nine points with 25 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Stephens. The win, however, was well in hand by that point for Martinsburg.
In both runs, Musselman was able, for the most part, to navigate through the Bulldogs' pressure.
"I think sometimes we managed it pretty well and other times, we didn't. They have a lot of speed, length and quickness," Basile said. "At times, we got some people open and were able to hit some shots."
"Our didn't think our pressure was as effective tonight. Musselman did a good job against it," Rogers said.
Martinsburg had a couple of double-digit performers, among them Robinson and Cole with 11 points.
Musselman was led by Wesco with 16 points.

In the first of three lessons on the Painted Canyon design, you'll learn how to use tracing, fusible web and transparent images to transfer designs to your fabric.

Finish your painted quilt with dynamic stitches and threads that highlight your fabric and color choices and add even more dimension to your painted creations. Annette shows you how to continue painting after quilting if you wish.
Join Annette again in this bonus lesson as you explore ways to create a vivid collage. You'll learn how to use basic supplies such as sponges, odds-and-ends from the kitchen and garden, and light to create beautiful works of art!
"I haven't even started the second project but already know this is the best thing that could have happened to my creative world. I have been longing to create something more then just a traditional quilt, and had already started collecting paints and things months before I knew this class existed. I had no idea where to begin and this class has given me a launching point. Annette explains the purpose behind each step so clearly and the techniques will carry with me in my future projects! Fantastic! From one Army wife to another thanks so much!"

"My Cat Loves It!"
My 11 year - old kitty Minty isn't a fan of bathing but tolerates really well. I decided to try this specific formula because I have sensitive skin and since Minty is use to me using unscented hygiene products (body wash, deodorant & laundry detergent), she might as well smell like me after I have a nightly bath! As a result, her hair is nice and fluffy clean and she does great with just one bath per month! Thanks a million for making it!
