MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Max Ramirez crushed a two-run HR onto the roof of a house on the north side of 8th Street, and Xavier Batista slammed a three-run HR onto the street, leading Boise/Mesa (EXST CUBS) to a 6-5 victory over the Iowa Cubs in a six-inning intra-organization game played at Fitch Park #3 this morning, in what was the official end of Minor League Camp and the beginning of Extended Spring Training for the players remaining in Mesa.
Meanwhile, the Iowa Cubs will be heading to Round Rock, TX, for PCL Opening Day on Thursday.
Iowa provided all four of the pitchers who threw in this morning's game, and Max Ramirez was "loaned" to the Boise/Mesa squad, partly so that an Iowa catcher would catch the Iowa pitchers throwing for Boise/Mesa, and also because the I-Cubs had too many position players and not enough at bats to go around.
In Iowa Cubs roster news, RHP Jay Jackson (shoulder fatigue?) will be remaining at Fitch Park, joining fellow I-Cubs DF Brad Snyder (oblique), INF Augie Ojeda (back), RHP Todd Wellemeyer (hip), and RHP Angel Guzman (2010 shoulder surgery rehab) on the 7-day day DL. While the other four are limited as to what they can do, Angel Guzman is progressing very well, and is on a rehab pitching schedule where he throws sim games at Fitch Park every 5th day. Over the weekend Gooz threw especially well, getting his fastball velocity up to 92 MPH for the first time since his surgery (he threw consistently 94-96 in 2009).
LHP Ryan Buchter, RHP Hung-Wen Chen, RHP Blake Parker, LHP Polin Trinidad, and OF Brandon Watson were not in uniform with the Iowa Cubs today at Fitch Park, and so it is possible that one or all of them may have been moved down to AA Tennessee (and a couple may have been released), while RHP Chris Carpenter (who was pitching with the Tennessee squad last week) has been moved back up to the Iowa squad (and in fact he threw an inning today).
Also, Daytona RHP Ty'Relle Harris (acquired from Atlanta in last year's Derrek Lee trade) was left behind when the D-Cubs left for Florida, and will probably start the 2011 season on the 7-day DL. Although he is not exactly injured, Harris is beginning an arm strengthening program at Fitch Park to improve his stamina and velocity, which the Cubs player development & training staffs apparently felt was not where it needed to be.
Here is today's box score (and I have no idea why light-hitting INF Marco Hernandez hit clean-up for Boise/Mesa... perhaps he is this month's car-pool contest winner):

Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I looked for a map of Fitch Park, just wanted to see how close the street was to get an idea of Max Ramirez' hr. I found a site with a Google Map.
AZ Phil, what are the field numbers for the fields on this map?
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Thanks Phil!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
You're a lot taller than I imagined Phil.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Updated link, that first one didn't work when I went to check it again...
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Has anyone ever used gold preferred parking at Miller Park.
I would guess it should be right up front?
Looking forward to first visit since old county stadium.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
"Gold preferred"... hmm... by the sounds of it you pull up and are lofted out of your car and carried into the park by Mark Kotsay's wife. Just a guess. Have a blast, it's not home, but it's a real nice ball park. Get the fried cheese curds. They will shorten your life by about a month, but sooo worth it.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I haven't tried the fried cheese curds, or Mark Kotsay's wife's parking, but it is a fun park. Parking is simple there anyway. And you can get bottles of beer, but last time I was there they won't let you keep the bottle cap because you might throw it at someone (but nobody would throw a plastic bottle?) LOL. Fun park, nice fans.
I always enjoy trips to Milwaukee, it's such a nice clean city. Summerfest rocks!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Nice to see Golden went 2-3.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
The Iowa Cubs roster has been set and really the only confusion part is that Welington Castillo is not listed -- Is he hurt??
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
maybe he got sent to AA so him and Ramirez would both get playing time.
-edit- nope
Clevenger and Mercedes are the catchers
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
The last few games of spring training, on a Cubs broadcast Len Kasper said Welington Castillo had a thumb injury and couldn't throw so he wouldn't be able to play for a few days.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Which will last longer Byrd batting third or Theriot leading off?
Buccos beat cards
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Haha, jacos!
I was just gonna post that. The Pirate juggernaut continues.
McCutcheon goes yard. Man, I like that dreadlocked kid!
I wonder what loaded contender will end up w/him?
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
AZ Phil----how did Coello look? Saw him last year in minors and think he's got what it takes to help out in the pen.
Iowa Cubs

Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I'm excited about all this pitching. Do you think the Cubs have the right arms to fill out their rotation in the next couple years with players already in the system instead of exploring free agency/trade again?
I guess next year all five starters would be back with the Cubs barring trades/etc. Who would McNutt bump if he had another incredible season?
AZ Phil
Just thought this was interesting. The Boise Hawks website links to this post as a "possible 2011 Hawks" story. I think that says a lot about our own AZ Phil that lower parts of the Cubs organization are deferring to him. I know it is said often on this site, but I still don't think it is said enough - THANK YOU, PHIL! You are a treasure!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
it's at the bottom under Hawks headlines
in their little revolving top story box I see links to a Bleed Cubbie Blue article and Chicago Cubs Online article though, so seems they're just aggregating stuff from around the web.
But all the stuff about Phil is still true!!!

RVIMPENY: It's raining today so the Cubs will probably play intrasquad game(s) tomorrow and/or Saturday, but it's pretty much a day-to-day proposition, and a lot of times it's decided at the last minute.
Best bet is to check in at Riverview in the morning and ask somebody what's going on that day.
Thanks Phil, I had the Salt River chart, but based on that, it looks like they hardly play and was not on the Surprise on 9/28...I assume they do not really want fans there anyway? Do you know if they play today, Friday or Sat? Sorry to be a pain, but I am only here until Sunday.
John Arguello at Cubs Den with observations & photos from Tuesday's Cubs instructs intrasquad game:
Guess which one is Vogelberg
Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.
For the rookie hazing "dress up" day, the Mariners made him dress like the Farley Chippendales dancer.
Steven Matz to undergo "imminent" elbow surgery.
Just scroll by.
Pitchers are golfers
Getting tired of the caddy catcher excuse
Dan Vogelbach is working on his firstbase defense in Seattle. Seems to say the Cubs didn't teach him properly.
Oh my! Cards down 2-1 to Reds in the bottom of the 9th -- get a leadoff triple -- and don't score!
Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...
Phil, thanks for posting. Where do find the schedule? I have a condo in Surprise, yet I drove to Mesa and Tempe looking for a game today! Thanks!

Students who are unable to complete a semester due to serious health problems and who are not eligible for grades of incomplete may request a medical withdrawal. Students seeking a medical withdrawal should contact the Dean of Students. Written verification from a physician or licensed mental health professional will be required. A medical withdrawal usually constitutes withdrawal from all courses for the semester, and withdrawals are made retroactive only to the last date of attendance. Requests for medical withdrawals must be submitted within six weeks after the end of the semester in question. If a medical withdrawal is granted, reevaluation by the student's physician or counselor may be required prior to re-registration.
In order to appeal for a medical withdrawal, students must submit, in writing, to the Dean of Students Office:
a) Medical professional's name, title, phone number and address.
b) A clear summary of the diagnosis and how/why this condition is affecting the student's academic pursuits.
c) A detailed account of when the medical professional saw the student
Meetings to examine petitions are held approximately once per month. A medical withdrawal usually constitutes withdrawal from ALL courses for the semester (as it is difficult to be medically unfit in one class but medically fit for another). Approved petitions will be made retroactive only to the last date of attendance and tuition charges are adjusted according to Westminster College's posted refund schedule found on the Student Account Services' webpage. If a medical withdrawal is granted, re-evaluation by the student's medical professional will be required prior to re-registration.

Robert Graves was in a meeting when a friend texted him the news. Ethan Robinson saw it in an email. Kitty Lambert-Rudd heard it first from a contact in Washington, D.C.
By phone and text, on CNN and social media, news of the Supreme Court's ruling that threw out a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act spread quickly throughout the LGBTQ community and Western New York on Wednesday.
The overwhelming reaction to the decision, which extends to same-sex couples the civil protections long taken for granted by heterosexual couples, was of joy and validation. But many pointed out that much work remains.
The court's ruling didn't come soon enough for Donald Licht, who lost his spouse, Jim Haynes, in November 2008, a year and a half after they tied the knot in Niagara Falls, Ont.
Licht said he wasn't eligible for the civil benefits that with Wednesday's ruling, are enshrined in the 12 states that recognize same-sex marriage.
"I've been working for gay liberation since 1970. When we first began, we were worried about people losing their apartments and their jobs. We never dreamed marriage was possible. The most important thing about this is it recognizes we have equal rights with everybody else," he said.
Licht was one of many local gay rights activists who reacted with jubilation after learning of the court decision.
"I think striking down DOMA – our Jim Crow law, which manifestly declared we were unequal to other populations – is the most significant advance for queer civil rights since the original decriminalization of homosexuality in 2003," said Jonathan Katz, a gay activist who directs the University at Buffalo's doctoral program in visual studies.
"This decision now opens the possibility that we can actually make marriage a federal right, and with that same-sex marriages will be made equal, and that's huge."
Lambert-Rudd, who with Cheryle Lambert-Rudd became the first lesbian couple married in New York State on July 24, 2011, was also overjoyed by the court's decisions.
"This is honestly as good a day as the day New York State passed [same-sex] marriage," she said. "People who had marriage for decades have often not understood the complexity of this for our families. This was about civil protections under the law – our right to protect our assets, our inheritance, our families, our children. That's what made this struggle so critical for us."
At a Wednesday evening celebration, hosted by the El Museo Gallery in Allentown and sponsored by local gay rights groups such as Stonewall Democrats, OUTspoken for Equality and Fabulous Friends of WNY, revelers duct-taped gay pride flags to trees and bike posts as loudspeakers pumped out upbeat music.
Marvin Henchbarger said the high court ruling will make a profound change in her life and that of other married gay and lesbian couples.
"I have been paying into the Social Security system since I was 18 – for 48 years – and up until this morning, if I died before Laurie, she was not going to get any of my Social Security benefits," said Henchbarger, executive director of Gay and Lesbian Services of WNY, referring to married partner Laurie Dean Torrell.
Henchbarger said she and Torrell were "stunned into silence" when they heard the court's decision.

Serves 4 |
Prep Time 15 minutes |
Cook Time 0 minutes
2 cups precooked short or medium grain brown rice
2 sheets Eden Sushi Nori
3 Tbsp Eden Pickled Ginger Slicesor 1 Eden Umeboshi Plum (remove pit)
Lightly moisten your hands with cold water. Take 1/2 cup cooked rice and form it into a ball, packing it firmly. Poke a hole into the center of the rice ball with your finger and insert a 1/2 teaspoon ginger slices or 1/4 umeboshi plum into the center. Pack the ball again to close the hole, lightly moistening hands if needed. Fold the nori sheets in half and tear along the fold. Fold in half again and tear on the fold. You should now have eight equal-size squares of nori (about 4" X 4" - four from each sheet). Lightly moisten hands, trying not to use much water, and place 1 square of nori on a rice ball, packing until it sticks. Take another square and place it on the rice ball completely covering the rice ball with nori. Pack gently, but firmly to make sure the nori adheres to the rice. Repeat the above steps until you have 4 rice balls completely covered with nori. Eat as you would an apple.
Rice balls are great for backpacking, camping, picnics, breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just a healthy, delicious snack anytime. Note: Use only leftover short or medium grain brown rice to make rice balls. Long grain and basmati are not sticky enough to make rice balls.

If you are planning to upgrade or purchase new speakers for your car, there are a number of factors that you should consider. Below is a discussion on car speakers buyers guide that you should look at before buying one.
Questions to guide you;
There are components that have already been installed in the car system. The first decision to be made as a buyer is whether to utilize/upgrade these components or to go for new ones. Whether you decide to upgrade or get new ones, always make sure that the RMS rating on all the components match up.
This will ensure that the system is neither overpowered nor underpowered thus it works properly. Also, make sure that the new components fit well within the space parameters of your car audio component setup.
There are two main types of car speakers available ie the coaxial (full range) speakers and the component speakers.
Made of better materials compared to the other type. The only issue with them is the fact that they are more expensive.
Unlike the component speakers, these types contain the entire speaker component in a single package. They have been designed in the simplest way possible with the tweeter (for high audios) being mounted to the woofer (for low audios).
There are some models with additional drivers (e.g. the midrange or super -tweeter) and you simply choose the one that suits you better. Full range speakers come in various sizes and may be the best option when replacing the factory installed speakers.
Making a decision on which type of speaker to go for may not be easy because on one hand the component type gives you quality sound but are expensive. On the other hand, full range type may be easier to install and you can easily find aftermarket replacement however their sound quality may not be as good as that of the component speakers.
If sound quality is very important to you, then you should go for the component type otherwise the full range type may be the best option especially if you are planning to install it yourself and do not have much experience.
When purchasing car speakers, one of the most important decisions to be made is the exact type of features to go for. Some of the specifications include; Bluetooth capability (e.g. in the case of wireless portable speakers), navigation systems, USB port etc. Below is a discussion on some of the features;
Once you have decided on the specifications to work with, the next thing is look at is power handling. Power handling enables you to know how much power/ the level of power (in watts) a speaker can handle.
A system whose external amps are so powerful requires a speaker with a power-handling that is close to the output of the amps. On the other hand, if your system is low-powered, you should go for a speaker which can only handle lower power.
In other words, go for a speaker which can handle the power that is put out by your head unit or your external amplifier.
This refers to the amount of power that the speakers require in order to put out the volume at a given level (it measures the amount of sound yielded by the speaker from the power applied to it). Speakers with high sensitivity ratings go well with low-powered car stereo while those with lower sensitivity ratings match well with high power system (external amplifier).
This feature is often found in some high-priced full ranged speakers and it aids in separating the frequencies sent to the woofer from those sent to the tweeter. This helps to ensure that no frequencies/sounds are reproduced by either the tweeter or the woofer therefore enabling you to enjoy a more efficient, clean sound production.
This is also very important factor to look at when buying new speakers. To know the size and configuration of the speakers to buy, you can simply remove and measure them (i.e. if you really want to replace them). However, if you provide the seller with the make, model and the year of manufacture for your vehicle, he/she will be able to know the exact size and configuration of your car speakers.
This is one of the reasons why you would want to replace or upgrade your speakers. Therefore, make sure that you go for the speakers that are made with high quality. Some of the materials that you can consider include; those with rubber surrounds (durable and produce quality sounds), silk tweeters, foam & cloth surrounds, stiff lightweight woofer materials (e.g. mica mixed with polypropylene) etc.
As a buyer, you should always have a budget. This will be of great help to you when deciding on which speaker to buy for your car. After looking at the specifications/features, the types and all the other factors, go for the one that fits your budget well and at the same time matches your system.
You also need to make a decision on who is going to install the speakers. Doing it yourself is much cheaper than getting someone to do it for you. If you are going to do it yourself, full range speakers may be a better option as they are easy to install.
Once you have decided to either upgrade or replace your car speakers, simply follow above car speakers buyers guide and you will get the best speakers for your car. Whether you are upgrading or replacing, always go for the best quality and that which suits your needs well.

On Hectic Day, 'No Drama' Obama Sticks to Schedule
Barack Obama's unflappability was a selling point on the 2008 campaign trail, with aides proudly donning T-shirts reading, "No Drama Obama."
But as much of an asset as it was for the candidate, Mr. Obama's steady-as-she-goes approach to life can cause problems as president.
This conflict was on full display Thursday, as Mr. Obama decided to stick to his regular schedule amid news reports of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet crash in Ukraine that killed nearly 300 people. That decision generated a split-screen aspect to Mr. Obama's day, as TV networks broke into regular programming to broadcast pictures of smoldering plane wreckage while the president appeared to go about his regular business.

- Lawmaker Asks Why U.S. Didn't Warn Airlines of Ukraine Threat
- Obama Needs Larger Goal Than Securing Ukraine Crash Site
- The West Strikes a Tough Pose but Faces Tests on Ukraine Options
Mr. Obama first learned of the crash Thursday morning, and then took Air Force One to Delaware to give a routine speech on transportation infrastructure. Arriving there, he stopped first for lunch at the Charcoal Pit restaurant near Wilmington. "Biden told me the burgers are pretty good," he said, in reference to his vice president, whose home state is Delaware. At the Charcoal Pit, he had lunch with a woman who had written him a letter laying out her troubles as a single mother. It's all part of a larger strategy on Mr. Obama's part to leave Washington when he can, mix it up with everyday people and draw attention to his domestic policy goals.
Taking the stage in the afternoon, Mr. Obama made his first comments on the crash, calling it a "terrible tragedy" and saying the U.S. will "offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened, and why." He said a top priority was to find out whether there were any Americans on board the flight. The remarks lasted less than a minute, and he then moved on to his planned speech about public works projects that also took aim at Republicans for opposing his policy goals.
From there, Mr. Obama flew to New York City for a pair of planned Democratic fundraising events, the first of which had about 30 people contributing up to $32,400, according to a press pool report. As he was en route, news reports popped up about Israel sending ground troops into Gaza.
The White House later made clear Mr. Obama wasn't ignoring the breaking news. On the way to the fundraisers, Mr. Obama placed calls to leaders in Ukraine and Malaysia, the White House said. After landing in New York, he spoke to Secretary of State John Kerry about the plane crash and also the escalating conflict in Gaza. He then "convened a secure call with senior members of his national security team to receive an update on the tragic loss of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine," said Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
Still, critics said Mr. Obama made the wrong decision on his schedule. "With all that's happening in the world right now, I think everyone would agree that the last thing the president should be doing tonight is fundraising," said Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.
A senior Obama administration official once said that if an event makes it onto the president's schedule, it's there for a good reason. It's not something you cancel lightly.
Mr. Obama has faced such moments before.
In December 2009, he was vacationing in Hawaii during the "underwear bomber" episode, when a man tried to blow up an airliner bound for Detroit. It was three days before Mr. Obama spoke publicly about the incident, touching off criticism that he had stayed silent and continued vacationing while a jittery nation absorbed details of another terrorist incident.
A year later, he faced blowback from his response to a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Critics said he didn't display enough emotion, instead sticking to his calm demeanor.
"One time, go off!" film director Spike Lee said in a TV interview in June 2010. "If there's any one time to go off, this is it, because this is a disaster."
To be sure, on other occasions, Mr. Obama has shown a willingness to rearrange his schedule.
Toward the end of 2013, he called off a planned trip to Asia so that he could remain in Washington and help resolve a budget standoff that led to a government shutdown. Former advisers to Mr. Obama, including David Axelrod, advised the White House to proceed with the trip. But Mr. Obama's current crop of aides rejected the suggestion, deciding he couldn't risk being out of the country with the stalemate unsolved.

Dec. 3
A Fernwood Drive man told Niagara County sheriff's deputies he was swindled out of $305 when he attempted to get a loan from a company called Fast Pay Loans.
The 65-year-old victim told deputies that a woman called him in November and asked him if he would be interested in a $5,000 loan. He said he told her yes and sent $305 via Western Union to a man in Riverside, Calif.
The victim told deputies that the woman then contacted him again and said there was an error in the Western Union money order and asked him to send it again. He said he realized he was being scammed and refused to send more money.
Patrol directed the victim to put a hold on any bank account information that he may have provided. The victim said he also has contacted the fraud department at Western Union.
Dec. 4
Residents in the 1600 block of South Avenue told police they arrived home at 2:30 p.m. to find their door kicked in and thousands of dollars worth of electronics, jewelry, cash and medication stolen.
One victim said he has been receiving threatening messages from a suspect who wanted money from the victim. He said they were out from noon to 2:30 p.m. and when they returned they found a door was kicked in, damaging the frame and glass in the door.
Stolen was a game system, games, a laptop, gold necklace, gold rings, earrings, $400 cash and hydrocodone. Total loss and damages was put at $2,310.
Dec. 5
A man and woman said they were in their bed, asleep, when two men broke in and demanded jewelry at 3:19 a.m. in the 2900 block of Macklem Avenue, Niagara Falls.
The 65-year-old victim told police he went to grab a handgun, a Glock 30 he keeps in a holster next to his bed for protection, but he said one of the men grabbed his arm so he could not remove the gun. The suspect then took the gun and both men ran down the stairs and left, he told police.
The couple said they had locked the door, but police said they found no sign of forced entry.
• A 20-year-old Niagara Falls man said he was shot while he walked home with a friend as he crossed the 11th Street bridge just after midnight.
The victim said a tan-colored SUV with tinted windows approached them heading southbound, then slowed down as it passed them. He said he heard a "crackling noise" as the vehicle passed, then felt a burning sensation in his right buttock and felt shooting pain in his leg and could not walk.
The victim said he realized he had been shot and called his mother for a ride to the hospital.
The friend told police that he saw a man roll down his window and put the barrel of a shotgun out of the window, then he also heard the crackling noise.
The victim was transferred from Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center to Erie County Medical Center for surgery to remove a bullet. A doctor told police that the bullet appears to have come from a .22 caliber shotgun.
Dec. 7
Police investigated a pair of house burglaries, including one in which several Christmas gifts were reported stolen.
A North Avenue woman reported that someone broke the glass out of her front door and entered her home sometime between 8 p.m. Thursday and 7:30 a.m. Friday. Several Christmas baskets in a room off the front of the home were rifled through, and various items were taken, including knitted towels, toys, coins, candies and decorations.
The victim reported that $25 in cash was also taken out of her purse. She set her total loss at $264.
Nothing was stolen after someone apparently tried to kick in the front door of a 99th Street home, causing an estimated $500 damage, police said. The incident occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., according to reports.
• A Canadian man had his car broken into overnight in the lot of a downtown motel, one of four such vehicle break-ins investigated by police.
Someone broke a window out of the Ontario resident's car while it was parked at the Sheraton Hotel, stealing a bag containing reading glasses and other personal belongings. Loss was pegged at $320.
A city man had his car broken into in similar fashion at the Days Inn on Main Street between 2:30 and 5:30 a.m. Saturday. A cellphone valued at $300 was stolen.
A Woodlawn Avenue resident reported that someone ransacked her vehicle while it was parked outside her home, stealing a pair of disposable cameras. A Jerauld Avenue man's car had been broken into earlier in the day, with thieves damaging a rear seat while stealing an amplifier and a pair of speakers. Loss was pegged at $650.
• An $879 Cannondale mountain bike was stolen from an unlocked Emily Lane garage in Lockport sometime between Friday and Saturday morning, sheriff's deputies said. The homeowner reported that a car inside the garage at the time had also been rifled through, although nothing appeared to be missing from inside the vehicle.
Dec. 8
Both participants pointed the finger of blame at the other after two women battled outside a Niagara Street bar.
Police said a 35-year-old Willow Avenue resident left Player's Bar around 3 a.m. and reported being confronted outside by a woman known to occasionally date the victim's boyfriend. She said that a brawl ensued, during which she was cut on the lower back.
The other combatant, a 28-year-old Ninth Street woman, told police the other woman instigated the fight after insulting her mother. She said that she had an earring ripped from her ear and her hair pulled during the melee, before onlookers broke it up.
A witness told police no weapons were involved, but the first victim broke a glass prior to the scuffle and probably got cut from that. No charges were filed.
• A 2003 Mercury was stolen from the 400 block of 10th Street after the owner left it running while dropping her son off at a nearby home. The victim, a Mackenna Avenue resident, told police she parked the sport utility vehicle in front of the home about 9 p.m. and ran inside briefly to drop off her son. While inside, she heard a loud noise and emerged to find a quarter-panel from the vehicle lying in the roadway, but the vehicle itself was gone.
• A Niagara Falls man told investigators that a spark plug change earlier in the day may have triggered a fire that damaged his 1995 Pontiac. The man told police he drove from his home to the Summit Fitness Center on Williams Road in Wheatfield around 3 p.m. and, upon exiting the vehicle, noticed the engine compartment was on fire. Staffers from the business extinguished the fire. Extent of damage to the vehicle was not immediately known.
• A Wilson woman estimated her loss in excess of $500 after her car was broken into in the Third Street parking lot of the Bank of America in Niagara Falls. Police said that someone broke a window to gain entry to the car, sometime between midnight and 3 a.m. Items stolen included a make-up bag and a pair of computer flash drives.
Dec. 9
A passing motorist alerted a city women that her car was on fire. The victim, a Livingston Avenue resident, was driving in the 4700 block of Hyde Park Boulevard in Niagara Falls just after 2 a.m. when she learned that her recently purchased 2008 Saturn was on fire. She pulled over in a gas station parking lot and police were able to extinguish the flames using their in-car extinguishers. The amount of damage done to the car was not reported.
• A Niagara Falls man said he was checking on an apartment for a friend who was in jail and found kitchen cabinets had been pulled off the wall and left broken on the floor, and a drop ceiling was pulled down, from the apartment in the 2000 block of Walnut Avenue.
The complainant told police that since he last checked on Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon, someone damaged the apartment and also took two miter saws, two cable boxes and an Internet box from the apartment. The friend said he had removed most of the property from the apartment prior to the burglary and all that was left were the saws and cable equipment.
Total loss and damage were listed at $1,950.
Dec. 11
A Niagara Falls man pleaded not guilty to a six-count cocaine possession indictment in Niagara County Court Tuesday, but he also asked to be screened for admission to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment. He would have to plead guilty to enter the program.
Jason M. Klinger, 37, of 15th Street, was arrested March 9 when a probation officer visiting his home found bags of cocaine.

First, the star found himself in bed with a very engaged Miley Cyrus, and this week, he's dealing with a Great Dane.
On Thursday's episode, Kutcher's character Walden Schmidt gets a very big canine for his girlfriend's daughter – but he isn't at all prepared to report for dog duty.
The brown pooch, which stands tall at Kutcher's waist, starts wreaking havoc around Walden's bachelor pad, tearing the living room apart.
In real life, Kutcher knows what it takes to keep a handle on furry friends. He acted as pack leader of five dogs when he went on a hike with ex Demi Moore's daughter, Rumer Willis, in January.
Two and a Half Men airs Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Which do you look forward to more, the START of the Salem Super Cruise or the END?
LOL. Slightly before my crazy teenage years....

Maybe one of these years I'll make it up there during the "Cruise." Makes me think of the Burger Chef years and cruising State Street.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I know a lot of people avoid Salem, especially downtown, during the Cruise. I don't mind the cruise itself and I like the cars, but the "carnival" atmosphere, not so much at all.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I can't answer the question. I've never been back to Salem during a super cruise, so I don't even know what it's like. I'll be missing it again this year, but I'll see ya'll over Labor Day weekend.

End by far. Not worth the traffic tie ups and noise in the neighborhoods. Usually try and get out of town this weekend.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival
The summer exodus to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival continues: the cobbled streets are filled with people handing out flyers for their plays, next to groups performing songs from their shows. The atmosphere, despite the inevitable rain – it's Scotland after all, is electrifying and exciting.
This year we did the Edinburgh festival experience in one day, commuting from Glasgow. The last train is around midnight: an extra service thanks to the fringe. Word of warning: if you have not already sorted out your accommodation you might be in trouble. The hotel prices are extortionate around this time of year and you'd really be best off finding new love for a distant family member who lives close or join the celebrations in the evenings with all the performers and find yourself a local buddy. (That's a joke, mother.)
For all you people who are still planning to heading up North, a few tips:
1. Be nice to all the people 'flyering': they are just promoting their shows. They have worked hard and often put a lot of their own money into it.
2. Pick up an offical Fringe magazine, which contains all the shows and has a very useful map in the front. You can get one from the Box Office on the High Street, which is open from 9am to 9pm.
3. Book tickets online to avoid disappointment, but still be prepared to queue when you pick them up. So leave yourself enough time to get to a show!
4. During down time, climb the stairs of Calton Hill, just a ten-minute walk from Waverly train station. The view from the top is fantastic: you can overlook the bustling city streets and see the gorgeous landscape surrounding the city.5. Embrace being a tourist and visit the famous Edinburgh Castle (open daily 9.30-5pm; adults £12; child £6).
Should you have time to go sight-seeing, book an Edinburgh tour where you can hop on and hop off, and get the most of your time in Scotland. Enjoy!

She may have been runner-up on American Idol, but Jessica Sanchez is stepping in to the main spotlight for the season finale of Glee.
"I'm playing a student from a rival school who is supposed to be a legendary diva – a powerhouse singer," the season 11 Idol contestant told PEOPLE last week after performing with Ne-Yo on the FOX reality show that made her famous.
Sanchez, 17, will film Glee beginning in April and be featured in two episodes, including the finale.
"It's going to be a very busy month for me," Sanchez told reporters. "I'm very excited because I've never acted before. I really want to meet [Naya Rivera]. She's got that attitude and I love it."
In addition to taking acting classes in preparation, Sanchez has also been attending dance classes and scored major modeling jobs since coming in second place to Phillip Phillips last year.
"Right after Idol, I was, like, 'I've got to become a totally different person. I can't just stand there and be shy and just sing,' " she said.
In addition to her stint on Glee, Sanchez is preparing for the April 30 release of her debut album Me, You and the Music and still finds time for boyfriend (and fellow season 11 contestant) DeAndre Brackensick.
"We have a balance," Sanchez says of her relationship with Brackensick, 18. "We understand each other's schedules so it is not so needy. It's very good."
Looking back at her life before Idol, it is hard for Sanchez to see any similarities to the life she once led.
"I was home-schooled so I pretty much just sat at home and watched TV and play video games," Sanchez said of her childhood. "I was so lame and now I'm traveling the world. It's a surreal thing."

This Topic has been set up to follow the Spring 2012 migration, and summer activities, of satellite tracked ospreys, excluding Rothes and Tore from Loch Garten, who are followed on this thread.
It replaces this earlier thread, Satellite Tracked Ospreys (non-LG) Aug 2011 - Feb 2012.
First, the Uk-born ospreys who are expected to return north this year, by tracking organisation:
Roy Dennis, Highland Foundation for Wildlife – Scotland
Beatrice Adult female, hatched 2000, tagged 2008, ring Green 5B. On all of her tracked migrations, she has taken a stopover on the River Adour, near Dax in the Landes department of SW France. She winters in southern Spain, dividing her time between the Bay of Gibraltar, and the Guadiaro river to the north east. In 2011, Beatrice moved back to her old nest in West Moray, and raised 2 chicks with a new mate.
Red 8T Adult male, hatched 2001, tagged 2009, ring Red 8T. He nests in Strathspey, and is often seen at the Rothiemurchus fishery. His wintering site is on the Casamanche River near Ziguinchor, southern Senegal. In summer 2011 his nest failed.
Morven Adult female, hatched 2003, tagged 2008, ring White PE. Morven's nest site is near Forres, Moray; she winters on the desert coast of Mauritania, north of the capital Nouakchott. Her transmitter has been faulty for a long time, and only gives occasional signals. In 2011 she raised 3 chicks with a new mate.
Rothiemurchus Young adult male, ring Blue AE, hatched in 2009 on Rothiemurchus Estate, near Aviemore, Highland. He has established his wintering site on the Senegal/Gambia border. In summer 2011, he returned to Britain for the first time, and toured Scotland and Northern England.
Rutland Water Osprey Project
Rutland Water are following two adult male ospreys who were tagged in summer 2011.
09(98) Adult male, ring Orange 09. Hatched in 1998 in Scotland and translocated to Rutland Water. He has never bred, but paired with female 5N(04) this summer at Site N, after the disappearance of her mate 08(97). His wintering site is in Senegal, on the coast between St. Louis and Dakar.
Blue AW Adult male, ring Blue AW. Hatched at Rutland Water in 2006, parents 03(97) and 05(00). He has been breeding since 2010. This winter he has spent time in two different areas, initially on the coast of Guinea, before moving east to Cote d'Ivoire.
There was an earlier Rutland Water project, tracking translocated juveniles, from 1999-2002 - here's the link to all the records:
Lake District Osprey Project, Bassenthwaite Lake, Cumbria, England
Project website Tracking reports
White 12 Sub-adult male, hatched 2010 at Bassenthwaite. He migrated to Gambia that autumn, and has been living on the SW coast near Kartong.
Now the birds hatched in 2011, who are expected to remain in Africa this year:
Ozwold Also tracked by Roy Dennis Immature male, ring blue 97, hatched 2011 near Nairn. The tracking of Ozwold is sponsored by the publishers of the children's book "Sky Hawk" by Gill Lewis, who is also following him in her own blog. He seems to have settled in Banc d'Arguin National Park, Mauritania.

Thank you for setting up this Sue. Fantastic as always!
Thanks SueC.
Kawartha Lakes osprey 54706 still in same area of Amazonia as at 02.03.12.
SueC thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated.
Dulas has moved much closer to Nimrod s wintering area. Perhaps he is taking advantage of the adults moving out:
Einion has also arrived at a great spot for ospreys.
SUE, this is amazing. What a definitive find. Thank you so much for taking so much time for us.
Brilliant as ever Sue, thanks!
Swedish osprey 49460 still at Lac De Buyo in the Ivory Coast:
Jukka : No change:
Latest on US ospreys:
"At long last, I have updated maps for our 3 youngsters. Thatch's maps are really interesting. He and Belle should be heading north in April or May. This will be the first trip north for both birds. I don't like what I see in Snowy's maps. He's found a place in Venezuela that he likes, but I'm not sure it's a good place for him...
I didn't update maps for our 2 adult males because they're too boring! Neither has moved more than a couple of miles since they settled down on their wintering waters back in fall. The adults (North Fork Bob and Senor Bones) will be heading north sometime this month. Last year Bob headed north on 20 March, with Senor Bones starting the trip north a few days after that.
If you click on the link where I report the date of the latest updates, you'll go right to the most recent maps for that bird: www.bioweb.uncc.edu/.../migration11.htm.
Alan thanks for the news and link for the US ospreys.

UNOSDP and partners wrap up successful pilot year for the Youth Leadership Camp initiative18 October 2012
Geneva (UNOSDP) – The third UNOSDP Youth Leadership Camp concluded on Friday, 5 October, at the Swiss Federal Office of Sport (OFSPO) in Macolin, Switzerland. After 11 days of both theoretical and practical training, the 26 youth coming from 16 countries returned home with the hope of putting what they have learned into practice back in their home communities. All of the youth have expressed with great confidence the benefit that this experience will have on their work back home.
"When I go back to my community, I will use the knowledge and skills from this camp to better carry out the projects for youth and children in my community", says Rachel Irakoze, one of the participants from Burundi who is volunteering for the International Judo Federation (IJF) in Burundi, using judo as a tool for development and peace in her community.
During the 11 days of training in Macolin, facilitators covered a multitude of thematic topics centered upon the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as other important topics such as the inclusion of persons with a disability and conflict resolution. Another theme of the camp was gender equality, which was demonstrated by the make-up of the participants themselves with 16 females out of the 26 participants.
The participants – coming from Benin, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Egypt, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, the Palestinian Territories, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe – had been selected by the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace (UNOSDP) after a thorough selection process.
"I am so excited about learning new experiences and skills, sharing with other young people and getting to know about both their lives and their work. By sharing ideas on what we are doing for our community, we create opportunities for more learning and empowerment," said a content Mohammed Mvumbagu from Tanzania. Mohammed was trained by Beckwith International Leadership Development (BILD) and was identified by UNOSDP's partner UK Sport as an applicant.
Wilfried Lemke, the UN Secretary-General's Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace, whose UN office is leading the initiative, was equally pleased with the most recent edition in Macolin: "The youth who have been here in Macolin all have given a great effort and have gained a deep knowledge of how they can now return home to their communities and harness the power of sport to make a positive change. I am very eager to see how they progress in the coming years."
Looking ahead, the focus now shifts to the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar, where the fourth edition of the camps will take place from 14-24 January 2013. This will be the second camp held in the Aspire Dome as the inaugural Youth Leadership Camp was held there in January 2012.
Continued Mr. Lemke: "We now look ahead to Doha, where we will have another group of inspiring youth from disadvantaged communities across Africa and the Middle East coming together to demonstrate the power that young people, when given the chance, can have on the development and peace of their communities".
Ernesto "Ernie" Rubustillo from the NGO Right to Play – the main implementing partner of this initiative – has been the lead instructor at both the second and third camps. Ernie sees a great potential in these camps to make a serious and lasting change in the lives of the youth leaders themselves and also the communities to which they serve: "We have an amazing programme that aligns perfectly well with Mr. Lemke's vision, the MDGs and one that harmonizes the many grassroots efforts of the Sport for Development and Peace movement", says Ernie.

Pastures need extra care after a drought year
Pastures need extra care after a drought year
The drought has been hard on pastureland, so extra attention should be given to prepare paddocks for this growing season.
by Abby Huibregtse, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
The drought that affected much of the United States last summer will likely have an impact on pastureland this growing season. Rhonda Gildersleeve, Grazing Specialist from the University of Wisconsin-Extension, shared some guidelines for caring for pastures after a drought year at the 'Managed Grazing in Central Wisconsin' workshop last week.
First, you want to assess your pastures to determine which ones need special attention. This includes a close look at soil fertility. Healthy soils are better able to tolerate suboptimal growing conditions like drought. In general, pastures should be soil tested every three to four years to maintain or improve soil nutrient levels.
Adding legumes can make significant improvements in yield, quality and palatability in a pasture, as well as adding nitrogen to associated grasses. Aim for 30 to 40 percent legume in the mix. A consistent legume plan needs to be developed to maintain or improve the percentage and productivity of the legumes.
Weed competition may increase in drought-damaged pastures. Pastures that are grazed hard are likely to have more germination in all weed classes (annual, biennial and perennial weeds). Scout pastures early in the season to determine a plan for weed control.
Special care should be taken to manage grazing after a drought year. One recommendation is to subdivide larger pastures, which provides more rest time for each pasture. You may consider turning an old pasture that needs to be reseeded into a 'sacrifice' pasture, keeping animals there for an extended period of time and feeding hay while other pastures grow.
Lastly, although both farmers and cows get anxious, you also should avoid turning cattle out to pasture too early. When is a pasture ready for grazing? Gildersleeve said that a pasture is ready when it has enough feed to satisfy the animals' dry matter intakes and the plant is physiologically capable of regrowth after defoliation. In the spring, that is typically when plants are 10 to 12 inches tall. In the fall, it is about 8 inches.
Also speaking at the conference was dairy farmer Dan Vosberg of Vosberg Valley View Farm, Inc., South Wayne, Wisc., who milks 200 cows in a parlor and grazing set-up. He shared his goals for the future to combat high feed, land and rent prices.
- Grow more feed on the current land base (including double cropping).
- Improve pastures to grow better feed for the dairy herd.
- Rent nontillable land when it is available to utilize for more pasture.
- Waste less feed, both in storage structures and preventing overfeeding.
- Utilize a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) to incorporate some less palatable feeds into the ration.
- Work to produce more milk per cow.

Gerald Buchheit is celebrating a rare victory these days against City Hall – or rather, County Hall, Town Hall and School District Headquarters.
The developer won his long legal battle to have the tax assessment reduced on his Quaker Crossing Retail Center in Orchard Park for the past four years, saving an estimated $120,000 in county, town and school property taxes.
Under a settlement agreement, approved by State Supreme Court after the case had gone to trial, the assessed value of the large shopping plaza was reduced by roughly 5 percent each year for the last four years, and will be frozen for the next four.
"It is significant, because it does confirm that, in fact, the property was overassessed for a number of years, so this is an acknowledgement that the property owners were overtaxed because of that," said attorney Peter Allen Weinmann, who represented Buchheit. Buchheit could not be reached for comment, nor could Orchard Park's attorney, Joel Kurtzhalts.
Specifically, the assessed value for 2008-2009 was reduced by 4.7 percent to $18.6 million, the value for 2009-2010 fell 5.5 percent to $18.444 million, the value for 2010-2011 was cut 4.9 percent to $18.56 million, and the value for the past year was trimmed 4.7 percent to $20.88 million.
Assessed values in Orchard Park are set at just about 60 percent of fair market value, so that puts the value of the 120-acre shopping plaza at $31 million four years ago and $36 million now.
Moreover, the agreement calls for the assessment to be locked at $21.48 million for each of the next four years, down 2 percent from the previous assessed value. That's a fair market value of $37 million.
As a result, the town can't change the valuation of the property for tax purposes for at least four years – even if the property is sold. "There's a real value to the freeze for four years," Weinmann said. "It's not just a reduction, but it's a freeze."
The court order from State Supreme Court Justice John A. Michalek also directed the finance commissioner of Erie County and the treasurers of Orchard Park and the Orchard Park Central School District to apply the revised assessment, determine any overpayment and refund any money owed, with interest, within 45 days.
However, Buchheit waived his right to the refunds from the town and school district, in order to get the future freezer for four years. Weinmann is still awaiting the county's refund checks any day.
"What we did is rob from Peter to pay Paul," he said. "We waived retroactively and compensated by getting the freeze prospectively."
Built in 1995 and technically owned by Quaker Crossing Properties LLC, Quaker Crossing is one of the biggest retail properties in the Southtowns. The center is anchored by such big stores as Target, Kohl's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Marshalls, but also hosts The Children's Place, Petsmart, Orvilles, and Famous Footwear, as well as a Regal Cinemas, Red Robin restaurant and Cold Stone Creamery.
Buchheit, who owns Accent Stripe in Orchard Park and the Freezer Queen property on Buffalo's outer harbor, and once owned the Statler Hotel, had been fighting to reduce his tax burden on the property for more than four years, and was prepared to go to trial. "We settled on the courthouse steps," Weinmann said.
But after exchanging appraisals, both sides realized that there were risks to proceeding, with the town giving up more than it wanted, and Buchheit getting less than he wanted.
Weinmann said it's not uncommon to be able to get assessments reduced, whether for large properties or individual homes, adding that "the vast majority of times when we perform an analysis and we see an overassessment, we're able to prove it."
"You would think that a municipality would be extra careful, regardless of the size," he said.
"Whether the taxpayer is a large taxpayer or an individual, the tax should be fair. It really should be equitable. We're just looking, whether our client is a large property owner or a mom-and-pop, that they pay their fair share."

A wild opening weekend saw Stetson play two games in a 27-hour span, erase a 14-point deficit against Hofstra, compete nearly a game and a half without A-Sun Player of the Year Victoria McGowan, and contend in two tight games that featured a combined 13 lead changes.
Despite coming up short in both contests, the Hatters (0-2) hope to use that experience to their benefit as they head into Friday's home opener against Florida A&M (1-0) at the Edmunds Center.
"We learned we can compete without Victoria McGowan, which last year's team never would have done that," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "Having Jama Sharp, Simone Taylor, and Shanasa Sanders step up for us was encouraging to see.
"We also learned we do need Victoria, and I've always known that," Bria added. "Especially when you have a team like South Florida who pressures so well, and who pressed us the whole game, I thought it really hurt us not having another guard like Victoria to relieve some of that pressure. But in the Hofstra game I thought we handled their pressure very well, and we almost won that game."
Bria said that Sharp has improved a great deal since last year and that she was real proud of her sophomore guard following the Hofstra game. Having to play additional minutes in the absence of McGowan, Sharp scored in double figures in both contests last weekend while averaging 32 minutes per game.
"It's more responsibility but I embraced it because I had to step up when Victoria went out," Sharp said. "Somebody has to step up in those situations, and I was just trying to help out the team any way I could."
Sharp echoed Bria's sentiment that the team continued to compete well in the absence of McGowan.
"We are definitely a stronger team than we were last year," Sharp said. "Victoria is obviously great when she is on the court, but we didn't fall apart when she went out. We didn't get all crazy with the ball. We kept our heads and were able to stay in the game. I think we work really well with each other."
The Hatters will go for their first win of the year Friday as they begin a busy stretch of three games in five days. After the 7 p.m. contest against the Lady Rattlers, Stetson will head to Tallahassee for a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee against the Florida State Seminoles. On Tuesday, the Hatters return to the Edmunds Center for a 7 p.m. game against Volusia County rival Bethune-Cookman. All three games will be available for free on HatterVision, with Sunday's road game being an audio-only broadcast.
After playing two quality opponents last weekend, the Hatters know the schedule doesn't get any easier this weekend. Florida A&M was 22-8 a year ago and opened the season with a 72-69 victory at A-Sun member Jacksonville. The Seminoles are also 1-0 entering Thursday's game with Florida and receiving votes in the AP Top 25 poll.
"Last year we started off 5-1 and I don't think we learned anything," Bria said. "We just have to keep our confidence and we have to keep a perspective. We have to keep getting better."

LOCKPORT - The judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment chalked up one success and one failure Thursday.
Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III said he will allow Michael S. Nutefall, 25, of Browning Circle, Town of Tonawanda, to withdraw his 2011 felony plea to selling painkillers in North Tonawanda in 2010. After 14 months in City of Tonawanda Drug Court, Nutefall has succeeded in treatment and will be allowed to plead guilty Dec. 3 to a misdemeanor and serve two more years on probation.
But in another case before Murphy, Mitchell J. Sims III, 19, of Rochester, who washed out of the diversion program, was sentenced to nine months in Niagara County Jail. He was charged with crack cocaine possession in a Lockport drug raid Nov. 21. He faces fresh legal trouble in Wayne County, where Sims was arraigned this week on a felony charge of possession of stolen property.

Sony's next-generation handheld has endured a tough start, but developers think it can still turn things around, argues Brett Phipps.

When it came time for Mariska Hargitay and husband Peter Hermann to choose a name for their 1-week-old daughter, the entire family got involved.
"We all talked about names because everything is a family decision in our house," says Hargitay.
That meant also consulting her 4½-year-old son, August, for ideas. "I threw out my name and he threw out his name and I said, 'August, why do you get to name the baby?' And he said, 'Because it's my idea!' " the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, 47, says with a laugh.
The family settled on Amaya Josephine – an adaptation of one of Hargitay's favorite names, Maya.
"I liked that name, but I wanted her to have the same initials as August," Hargitay explains. "I thought adding the 'A' was so feminine. Amaya sounded so open and feminine and beautiful – just like her."
