2013 Cubs Minor League Camp - Last Day
2013 Chicago Cubs Minor League Camp drew to a close this morning, as the Iowa Cubs completed their final Spring Training work-out before flying to Albuquerque this afternnon. They willl open their PCL season versus the Isotopes Thursday night.
Most of the I-Cubs participated in traditional Spring Training drills and B-P on Field #2, while rotation-starter Drew Carpenter threw a bullpen session. (Matt Garza participated in the PFPs).
Meanwhile, three members of the Iowa bullpen threw in the 11-inning intrasquad-"sim" game on Field #3.
The game cannot be box scored because players sometimes traded places in the field mid-inning, players hit for both "teams," and a pitcher's "inning" was sometimes stopped mid-AB when the pitcher reached the 15-pitch mark. It was really more of a hybrid scrimmage than either a "sim" game or an intrasquad game.
Each of the pitchers who worked on Field #3 threw 15 pitches per inning, and each pitcher threw anywhere from one to four innings (depending on the pitcher): The pitchers themselves were a Motley Crew, some being Iowa relievers getting work, some were pitchers from the Boise/Mesa (Extended Spring Training) squad, and others were rehab guys.
FOUR INNINGS: Josh Conway
THREE INNINGS: Jose Rosario
TWO INNINGS: Hunter Cervenka, Loiger Padron, and Larry Suarez
ONE INNING: Daniel Adrian, Kyler Burke, David Cales, Esmailin Caridad, Casey Coleman, Carlos Guerrero, Matt Iannazzo, and Cory Wade,
Rosario and Conway (Cubs 2012 4th round draft pick out of Coastal Carolina) were especially good, both cruising effortlessly through their mulitple innings with minimum stress. Conway has made a remarkable recovery from 2012 TJS and almost made the Kane County starting rotation, throwing a 92-94 MPH fastball, a hard slider, and a decent change-up.
David Cales (2011 shoulder surgery) was the most-impressive pitcher today, striking out all four hitters he faced (all four swinging) in his 15-pitch inning. Cales has a nasty slider, and he almost made the Tennessee bullpen, but was left behind at Extended Spring Training to get innings.
The Boise/Mesa position players traded places with their "mirror" periodically, switching back & forth between defense and offense. (The five catchers alternated between warming up pitchers in the bullpen, catching in the game, and hitting).
C: Erick Castillo, Justin Marra, Wilfredo Petit, Neftali Rosario, and Lance Rymel
1B: Xavier Batista and Jose Dore
2B: Roni Torreyes and Danny Lockhart
3B: Mark Malave and Jacob Rogers
SS: Carlos Penalver and Danny Lockhart
LF: Trevor Gretzky, Dong-Yub Kim, and Garrett Schlecht
CF: Rashad Crawford and Shawon Dunston Jr
RF: Reggie Golden and Jeffrey Baez
There wasn't much hitting in the game (the pitchers mostly dominated), although Reggie Golden did rip a triple off lefty side-armer Matt Iannazzo, and looked just fine hustling around the bases (he had surgery for torn knee ligaments just about this time last year).
RHP Larry Suarez hit Jeffrey Baez with a pitch on the upper left shoulder (almost hit him in the head), as Suarez continues to battle "Steve Blass Disease."
I'm not exactly the biggest
I'm not exactly the biggest Torreyes fan ... but boy it still seems weird as to why he's in extended spring training.
well, he didn't get to ST
well, he didn't get to ST until very late...it's probably that...just getting his work in.
Do you think he's out of shape? Just wondering, because your critique of his defense the other day stood out. It didn't sound/look that bad last year.
I'm just trying to think of reasons why he might get demoted all the way to XST. It's the most interesting move this spring, IMO. I've run through the other standard possibilities to get dumped to XST, and none of them seem all that realistic (switching positions, making a swing adjustment, teaching him something about 2nd defensively ... ). I guess he could simply be passed by Amaya/Bruno, but that seems unlikely. Perhaps some sort of "punishment" (I guess if he wasn't in shape, that dropping him to XST would be a "punishment")?
Anyhow, curious how you thought he looked physically.

I liked a Bruce Miles comment
I liked a Bruce Miles comment in comparing Shark to a certain past opening day starter: "I couldn't help but wonder how Zambrano would have reacted to Monday's first inning, both with the walk and with Lillibridge's error. It might not have been a pretty."
speaking of like-able quotes.
speaking of like-able quotes...
from the Sun-Times article, Sveum (on Marmol):
"Last year we were kind of in the same situation and lost the game," Sveum said of that opener against Washington in which Kerry Wood blew the lead with three consecutive walks in the eighth and Marmol surrendered the go-ahead run in the ninth.
"It's very important to get off to a good start — and win Game 1 on the road as well."
Nice. Sveum is growing on me.

Heart: Cut this guy now.
Head: No, no. Leave him as closer to increase his trade value. Wins do not matter this season.
Heart: Wins always matter, and Marmol has no trade value.
Head: Now he doesn't, but with a couple of months of good appearances who knows.
Heart: No one is going to be fooled by a couple of good month, if he is lucky enough to have them.
Etc. Etc.
Head: It's not like anyone

I was surprised to see that
I was surprised to see that his pitch chart showed 63.2% sliders to 36.8% fastballs on Monday. I thought the bench was calling all his pitches now?
Interestingly, ESPN's hot
Interestingly, ESPN's hot zone shows that he was actually able to spot the slider better than the fastball, but I was at work so your actually performance may vary.
I think the whole business
I think the whole business about having catchers call the pitches was to make him work faster and not think about stuff so much, if I remember right, and I may not be remembering right. But if he's not locating his fastball it just gives credence to Sveum's feeling that he just didn't have it.

On a more positive note, that was some good baseball with Rizzo taking that walk like a good *veteran* hitter might, and then Sheirwhatever really doing a nice job working the count. I had to slap my cheek to make sure I wasn't dreaming about watching a real baseball team.
Marmol wasn't bad today. The
Marmol wasn't bad today. The Pitt announcers admitted that the ump blew strike three on Martin. And Rizzo could have gotten more glove on the Gaby Sanchez grounder. (But I don't want to criticize Rizzo after that beautiful SB.)

I'm sorry -- that seems too flip for how I feel about him and his writing. I liked reading his opinions even about movies I didn't care about seeing or other topics. He had a real feel for being able to express the human experience. That doesn't come along often.

Has anyone in the history of baseball swung at more 0-2 sliders in the dirt than Sori? CPat might have, if given the chance, although there are/were fewer LH pitchers to feast on him.

sori's always had a "hole" in his swing that he can't tell a fastball from a slider...it's why he used to stand at the very front of the box and try to catch them before the hard break.

"I had my pitches working,"
"I had my pitches working," Marmol said. "I just missed my pitch. I didn't do anything bad."
That's the problem. His pitches don't have the movement they once had. I remember, it seems like a long time ago now, when the stuff he threw really seemed unhittable. Unfair. That stuff isn't there anymore. Once in awhile he'll throw a nasty slider but it's almost like he went into the way back machine to grab one just to show us what he once used to be like. He was fun to watch. Now, he's fun for the other team. Their eyes must light up when he gets on the mound. It's too bad, but it is what it is. Time for Sveum and TheoCorp to close this chapter of Cubsdom.
Gad, what a horrible game. The only thing worse than the lack of clutch hitting by the two kids, Castro and Rizzo, to break the game open, was Marmol's embarrassment.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
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.

Two Alumni Inducted into Hall of Fame
The American University Department of Athletics and Recreation honored former men's soccer student-athlete Stephen Franzke, SPA/BA '98 and former field hockey student-athlete Virginia Casabo, CAS/BA '99, with induction into the Stafford H. "Pop" Cassell Hall of Fame on Saturday, February 9.
Stephen Franzke was an integral part of American's 1997 NCAA Tournament run, leading the Eagles to the NCAA Quarterfinals for just the second time in program history. The defender scored the game-winner with 10 seconds left in double-overtime to lift American to a first round victory over William & Mary as it opened its tournament run. Franzke was a four-year starter and four-year captain for the American University men's soccer team. He was a two-time First Team Regional All-American in 1996 and 1997. Franzke was a three-time All-CAA honoree from 1995 to 1997, earning First Team honors his in final two seasons. He was also named to the All-South Atlantic Region team in 1997.
Virginia Casabo was one of the most impactful players in the history of American University field hockey. She still holds the program record for career assists with 65 and is fifth in the program annals with 119 career points. Casabo was a two-time Regional All-America selection, earning First Team honors in 1997 and Second Team recognition in 1996. She was a 1997 All-CAA First Team selection and earned Second Team honors in 1995 and 1996. Casabo was a part of the class that set one of the best four-year records in program history, going 58-19 in her four years at American. She was also a member of teams that ranked 14th and 15th in the nation at the end of the season. Casabo continued her illustrious career in the international ranks, competing for Uruguay with over 50 international caps. In 2007, she served as captain of the squad that competed in the Rio de Janeiro Pan American games and was named the Uruguayan National Field Hockey Player of the Year in 1997.
The induction ceremony took place in the Abramson Family Founders Room inside the School of International Service building on campus. The Stafford H. "Pop" Cassell Hall of Fame was created in 1969. Sponsored by the Cassell Family, the Hall of Fame was established to recognize the achievements and contributions of individuals associated with American University Athletics and Recreation.

Essex welcome back England duo
Follow the Friends Life t20 on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, live scores, match reports, photo galleries and much more
Essex have named Ravi Bopara and Alastair Cook in their squad for their Friends Life t20 quarter-final clash against Somerset tomorrow.
The England duo have been included as part of a 14-man squad, but batsman Owais Shah, who travels to Taunton, is a doubt due to a calf injury and faces a late fitness test.
Head coach Paul Grayson can't wait for what he believes will be a close game between two strong one-day sides.
"Everyone is fresh and really looking forward to the game," Grayson said. "We've had some good battles with Somerset over the last few years in one-day cricket and I think it will be exactly the same on Tuesday.
"We've played some very good T20 cricket at times this season but we know Somerset are an excellent side and we have to make sure that we are at the top of our game against them."
Marcus Trescothick is set to captain Somerset after making a successful return from injury.
The former England opening batsman featured in the eight-wicket victory over Durham in the Clydesdale Bank 40 yesterday - his first appearance since undergoing surgery to repair ligaments in his right ankle, which he injured back in April.
He is set to open the innings alongside the in-form Craig Kieswetter, who heads into the tie after back-to-back hundreds, including a 58-ball century yesterday at Taunton.
South Group winners Sussex welcome Gloucestershire to the PROBIZ County Ground in the day's second quarter-final.
Matt Prior will be available for the Sharks, having been released by England following the conclusion of the first Investec Test against South Africa.
Gloucestershire finished second in the Midlands/Wales/West Group, and will be hoping seamer Ian Saxelby can continue his good form after he collected 10 wickets in five games.
Yorkshire will still be without former England bowler Ryan Sidebottom for Wednesday's first quarter-final tie against Worcestershire at Headingley.
The left-arm seamer continues his rehabilitation following a calf injury sustained last month, but loan signing Steve Harmison will be available to lead the attack alongside Australian Mitchell Starc, who has claimed 18 wickets in nine games to lead the wicket-taking standings.
The Royals will be hoping Australian overseas signing Phil Hughes can continue his startling progress in the competition, which has seen him compile 322 runs from just seven innings.
Both clubs are aiming to reach finals day for the first time.
South Group runners-up Hampshire will travel to Trent Bridge to meet Nottinghamshire in the final last-eight clash.
The Outlaws won five of their six completed fixtures, and come into the tie on the back of a comfortable 88-run CB40 victory over Scotland, in which England all-rounder Samit Patel top-scored with 82.
Hampshire will be hoping Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell can continue the form that has earned him a first international call-up after he averaged just under 60 in the group stage. The Royals are aiming to qualify for the semi-finals for the third consecutive year.

The Charlotte, N.C. native, has now led WVU in scoring twice this season and stands as the season scoring leader with 15.5 points per game. In addition to per point total, Caldwell also averaged an impressive 3.5 steals per game this week and 3.0 assists. She collected seven threes on 50 percent (7-14) shooting and was 42.4 percent successful from the field. Caldwell was also flawless from the free throw line, making all six attempts.

Russ Cornette can seem a little reticent when asked to talk about himself. He's more interested in you. And he's more interested in action than talk.
He'll tell you a little about growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and that he enjoys the work he does as Town Engineer for the Town of Summerville. He'll tell you how his family loves living here, how it's a great community for a family to live a good life.
He might talk a little about his love of good barbecue but will likely downplay the formidable skills he brings to the art of cooking this truly Southern delicacy.
Ask him about his work in the community, and he'll talk a little about some of the things he's done there, too.
But at the end of the day, Russ Cornette seems a little puzzled by the attention. After all, he's just giving back to a community that he loves and that has been so good to him and his family.
"It's definitely an honor to be selected to be in this group (Men To Watch.) But my first thought was, they must be having a hard time finding people for them to pick me," he said, a slow grin easing across his face.
Cornette, who came to the Lowcountry in 1991 by way of his service with the U.S. Navy. He and his family -- wife Kristen and sons Cole and Graydon -- moved to Summerville in 2003 and became Town Engineer in 2005.
"I like what I do here as Town Engineer – it's an opportunity to help the town realize certain goals, and more important, it's an opportunity to help people with issues they may not be initially familiar with."
He admits he fields a wide variety of questions, but enjoys helping people find their answers.
"Sometimes it seems like it's a case of, when in doubt, call the engineer's office," he said.
But while he is looking out for Summerville during the day, he is also working behind the scenes in a lot of different places, doing what he can to help out in his spare time, too. He has generously given of his time, talent and effort for a number of organizations, including Knightsville United Methodist Church, the Summerville Miracle League, the Junior Service League of Summerville, Summerville Masonic Lodge, Omar Shriners, Lowcountry Food Bank, and Berkeley Lions Club.
He served on the board of Sculpture In The South from 2006-2009 and as president of the board in 2007.
"I learned a lot," he said. "It was a very interesting, enjoyable experience."
That he is possessed of strong administrative and organizational skills is something of a given. However, he is also known for his prodigious skills around the barbecue grill and smoker. Like many things Cornette does, that grew from a simple desire to learn more, do it better, and share that knowledge.
"A friend of mine and I went to a barbecue competition at Brittlebank Park in Charleston – walked around, sampled some of the food, and we both thought we could do better," he said.
So they did. His father built his first cooker, and he and friends and family started their competition barbecue team. The first year they participated in two or three competitions and while they did not win, they did not come in last, either, he said.
And they got better. These days, they are not only in demand for many area events, they have won a number of awards on the competition circuit and they are even involved with the Carolina Pit Masters Barbecue School, a popular, weekend long event held every year at the Dorchester Shrine Club, for which Cornette serves as a principle instructor. A portion of the proceeds – as well as some of the choicest meat – goes to the Shrine Club and the Miracle League, he said.
"That's been pretty successful – we have people that come from all over for that, and a lot of them come back," he said.
They even started a barbecue sauce company and branded their own barbecue sauce, Smokin' Cole's, which they later sold. Earlier this month, his barbecue team's sponsor opened a barbecue restaurant in Downtown Charleston named after his barbecue team's name, "Queology."
But ultimately, the love of cooking has led to a unique and always greatly appreciated way of giving back to the community, he said. His team has raised funds for many organizations; in fact, Cornette helped found and create the Summerville Miracle League baseball league's annual "BBQ 4 Baseball" fundraising event.
"I'm guess I'm always ready to lend a hand wherever it's needed," he said. "This is a great community and I'm ready to help out any way I can."

The neonatal professionals of the Neonatal Intensive Care Program at Lankenau Medical Center use a variety of special procedures to alleviate breathing and respiratory problems in premature babies and seriously ill newborns.
The heart and lungs interact in the exchange of fresh oxygen and waste carbon dioxide in the circulation of blood throughout the body. In premature and high-risk babies, the lungs may need help to function on their own. Here are some of the breathing problems that we commonly deal with in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Sometimes babies stop breathing for short periods—a condition called apnea—and an associated slowing of the heart rate, known as bradycardia, may also occur. This is common to premature babies but is usually outgrown. Medication, such as theophylline or caffeine, may be given to stimulate the baby's breathing to prevent apnea. Prior to discharge, infants with apnea are evaluated to determine their need for home monitoring.
Babies in the NICU may be unable to cough up their own mucus, so a nurse or respiratory therapist will suction it out for them. This is done using a very small catheter that is connected to wall suction and passed into the infant's mouth or nostrils, or through a breathing tube in the throat. Since the procedure also sucks out some air along with the mucus, the infant may become dusky in color and is given additional oxygen or breathes with a ventilator bag.
The normal oxygen concentration in a room is 21 percent. If an infant needs a higher level of oxygen, this can be delivered several ways:
Some babies may experience a pneumothorax, which is the collection of air or gas in the space around the lungs caused by an air leak. This buildup of air puts pressure on the lung and can result in a collapsed lung. To treat it, a chest tube is introduced through the chest wall into the space around the affected lung. It is connected to a special suction chamber that removes the air around the collapsed lung. This allows the lung to reinflate. The air leak usually heals within two or three days, and the tube can then be removed.

Hey, I need to unload three assassin snails and some T. newberryi eggs.
The assassin snails are $2 each, and shipping is $12 - they come in a Styrofoam-insulated Priority box with a heat pack.
The eggs are $10 shipped (or $7 if you get the assassins too), and they come with some powdered high-protein food for the hatchlings and a hatching guide. They look similar to T. longicaudatus and their care is identical. Loads of info here (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21532&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=triops) and at my site (there's a link in my signature).
Triops make excellent puffer food. They're as easy to hatch as brine shrimp, but are the size of adult ghost shrimp. They're incredibly easy to raise, they grow quickly, and they can be fed off at any age/size. T. newberryi gets up to about 2". They don't require filtration, just regular water changes and possibly aeration, and only need a heater if it's cold; stable temperatures aren't too important to them. They'll eat anything that used to be alive, plant or animal, or anything that's sold as fish/shrimp food. If you keep some triops through adulthood, they'll lay thousands of eggs, and you can hatch more. You don't have to hatch them immediately after purchase. The longest recorded diapause period in captivity was 27 years, and they hatched good as new.
They also make really fun pets!
I'll cut you a deal if you want to buy a lot of eggs for puffer food, as long as you actually use them as puffer food and don't resell them in small packages/at a profit.

After a whirlwind east coast trip, the singer – who has been busy promoting her latest album A.K.A. – returned to Los Angeles earlier this week to finish her latest film The Boy Next Door. According to a source, Smart was on hand while she worked.
"He was there all night," the source says of the nighttime shoot. "They were loving together. [They were] very friendly and seemed good."
To those close to them, the friendly meeting isn't a surprise. When their breakup went public, a close friend told PEOPLE that Smart and Lopez would remain close. And that he would possibly continue to see Emme and Max, 6, Lopez's twins with ex Marc Anthony, periodically.
"The kids adore Casper. They have a great dad in Marc and know who their dad is, but they enjoyed being with Casper," the friend said. "It was not a bad breakup so there is no reason why they can't see Casper in the future."
As for Chmerkovskiy, he and Lopez were seen getting cozy at Shrine nightclub at the Foxwoods Casino on June 21 after her performance at the resort. Despite the outing, the source insists the two, who have denied dating rumors, "are just friends."
Lopez, who recently finalized her divorce from Anthony, met Chmerkovskiy through mutual friend Leah Remini and her DWTS partner Tony Dovolani.

U.S. Representative Shelley Moore Capito joined Elkins residents Tuesday to dedicate the Railroad Avenue Streetscape Project, designed to lead visitors to the Elkins Depot and the Elkins Railyard.
"When this project was first proposed, the Elkins Railyard was nearly vacant," Capito, R-West Virginia, said. "Now there is a great streetscape boulevard with wider streets, a sidewalk with curbs and lighting.
"It was a vision of the city and county leaders, designed to attract economic development and tourists into the heart of the city," she said. "It is now completed, and is well-lit and beautiful. The completion of this streetscape is a situation showing great use of partnership to complete the project."

Local residents, elected officials and business owners gather with U.S. Representative Shelley Moore Capito, R-West Virginia, Tuesday for a ceremony commemorating the Railroad Avenue Streetscape Project in Elkins.
Randolph County Development Authority Director Robbie Morris said he was thrilled the streetscape is complete.
"Lots of time and effort was spent on this project that was finally brought to fruition," Morris said. "This thoroughfare is great to spruce up the area and is good for both tourists and residents. Before, this street was mostly an industrial access. Now it is both an attractive street and much safer."
Morris said Railroad Avenue improvements will continue, including the addition of trees and repaving to match the previous work.
"Construction on this project began in May 2012 and was completed September 2012," Morris said. "Efforts for a ribbon cutting were dampened by Superstorm Sandy. We are pleased to commemorate the project today. It is very nice to see and represents a great community partnership."
Since the completion of the project, Morris said there is a noticeable difference on Railroad Avenue.
"Railroad Avenue has become such a thoroughfare," Morris said. "It's the perfect time of year to do that." He noted the improved traffic flow in the area will be a positive influence on Forest Festival visitors and those tourists coming to Elkins to ride the train.
The initial grant proposal for the Railroad Avenue streetscape was written by former Randolph County Development Authority Director Jennifer Giovanitti.
The Randolph County Development Authority approved the completion of a streetscape project for the Elkins Railyard in April 2012. At that time, the cost of the 17 streetlights installed in the railyard raised concerns that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant the RCDA received for the streetscape project would not be sufficient to pay for all the work yet to be done, Morris said.
The HUD grant was for $142,000, while the cost of paying Allegheny Power for the streetlights was about $37,000 and Bill Swecker's engineering fee for the project was approximately $17,000.

NEWELL-Ergon Inc. plans to expand its Newell refinery in the new year so that it can better handle the increased oil outputs from drilling activities in the Marcellus and Utica shales.
The expansion, to the tune of $78 million, mainly will increase the refinery's capacity to process regional crude oil by upgrading and adding equipment, company spokesman Jim Temple said.
"This expansion will provide our customers with even greater reliability, higher quality fuels and an improved customer experience," said Don Davis, president of Ergon-West Virginia Inc.

The plant, which employs 180 people, is not planning to do any hiring to support its expansion, Temple said. "The expansion is primarily involving processing equipment in the plant," he said, including the addition of a storage tank.
Originally built in 1972, the refinery was bought by Ergon Inc. from Quaker State in 1997, according to the company's Web site. The plant has the capacity to process more than 20,000 barrels per day of Appalachian grade crude oil, which it gets from facilities in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
The plant uses high-pressure hydrotreating technology to process the oil, which is sold at the refinery rack or by barge within Ergon-West Virginia's regional market, according to the Web site.
The process and base oils refined in Newell are used in a wide variety of applications, including motor oils, gear oils, greases, pharmaceutical and agricultural spray oils, food grade applications and in high-temperature rubber applications, according to the Web site.
The expansion will be done in phases over the next two years, Temple said. The majority of the projects will be completed in the second quarter of 2013, with the balance continuing into 2014, he said.
"This will allow us to run some of the new crudes that are coming out of the (Marcellus and Utica) shales in that area," Temple said. "It allows our facility and our products to be more competitive."
This is the second time this year that Ergon Inc. has announced expansion plans for the Newell facility. In March, the company said it was adding storage tanks and infrastructure to the refinery and to two associated terminal facilities in Ohio.
Construction on that project is expected to be done in the first quarter of 2013.
The company also said it was expanding its logistics capabilities at Ergon-West Virginia and Ergon Trucking Inc., which has a terminal in Newell.

The Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic girls basketball team has had a striking amount of success in first-round PIAA playoffs games, winning 34 of 36 of such contests.
So an opening-round Class A matchup against the fourth-place team from District 9 that hasn't made the state playoffs in 20 years probably looked like an easy win to some.
Johnsonburg was no pushover, however. The Ramettes gave BG all it could handle for three quarters before the Lady Marauders pulled away for a 47-26 win in the middle game of a tripleheader at the AAHS Fieldhouse on Saturday.

BG's Elyssa Ehredt goes up against Johnsonburg's Brittany Watts.
"This was a wakeup call for us," BG's Halee Adams said. "We need to get completely focused as a team. Nothing's going to be handed to us."
Bishop Guilfoyle advanced for a second-round matchup Wednesday against Serra Catholic at a site and time to be determined. Serra Catholic, the second-place team out of District 7, defeated District 10's second-place team, Cochranton, 67-43, Saturday.
BG and Johnsonburg both struggled to score points for most of the first three quarters. The Ramettes led 6-4 at the end of the first quarter and made it 8-4 on a Brittany Watts bucket in the opening minute of the second quarter.
The Lady Marauders surged ahead with a 10-0 run. After Adams hit a turnaround jump shot in the lane, Kayla Bates scored on the fast-break that resulted from an Adams' steal at midcourt.
Bates and Adams followed with back-to-back 3-pointers that put BG ahead, 14-8.
Chelsea Benson's 3-pointer from the corner late in the half pulled Johnsonburg to within four points, and Kassa Kocjancic drained another 3 in the opening seconds of the second half to make it a one-point game, 17-16.
Guilfoyle's offensive struggles were a combination of Johnsonburg's defense and missed shots, BG coach Mark Moschella said.
"It was a little bit of both. If we could have made some perimeter shots, it might have loosened things up. They played a very active zone that plugged everything up," Moschella said.
Johnsonburg (17-9) scored just two points the rest of the third quarter and only 10 in the entire second half as BG slowly pulled away.
"We had some turnovers at bad times and went through a couple scoring droughts," Johnsonburg coach Mike Zilkofski said. "I told the team 'I've never been prouder of you. You accomplished a lot and not to hang your heads low.' This team did something that hasn't been done in 20 years. It's been a wonderful season."
The Lady Marauders outscored Johnsonburg 10-2 over the final seven minutes of the third quarter for a 27-18 lead.
The Ramettes cut the Guifoyle lead to six points early in the fourth quarter on a Rhianon Fowler trey before BG reeled off nine straight points for a 37-22 lead.
"Alyssa McGhee came off the bench and did a good job pressuring their point guard. That really sparked us in the fourth quarter," Moschella said. "We did a real good job on defense and rebounding the basketball, but our transition offense was too slow getting down the court, which let them set up in their zone."
Elyssa Ehredt finished with 10 rebounds, Brittany Boslet grabbed six, and Adams added five.
Watts was the only Ramette to score in double digits with 10 points. She also had nine rebounds.
JOHNSONBURG (26): Fowler 2 0-0 5, Benson 2 2-2 7, Kocjancic 1 1-2 4, Watts 3 4-6 10, Polaski 0 0-0 0, Imbrogno 0 0-0 0, Hefright 0 0-0 0, McAlee 0 0-0 0, Rowles 0 0-0 0. Totals - 8 7-10 26.

Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine isn't eager to cast the first stone when it comes to the team's failings on that side of the ball last season prior to his arrival.
But it's clear he saw what anyone watching the Bills did: An extreme makeover was needed.
Pettine is not Ty Pennington, but he's hard at work rebuilding. Asked how he sees the unit coming together, the words "aggressive" and "relentless" are the first out of his mouth.
"It's an entire change of mentality here. Not just from a scheme standpoint, but from a fundamental standpoint, from a mentality standpoint, so we're knee deep in trying to get that taught," Pettine said this week in his second public comments since being hired by Doug Marrone in January. "It's all new, and I think they've done a good job of buying in. They've been very eager to learn, and they've carried it over onto the field.
"I wasn't here, I don't want to get too much into last year, I just know the system that we're installing takes advantage of what our guys do well, and like I said, they've been very accepting of it. Now, again, I think they're all feeling pretty good about it. We haven't given up a first down, a yard or a point."
They'll keep that perfect record intact until Sept. 8, when the New England Patriots visit Ralph Wilson Stadium for the season opener. Given that 108 long summer days must pass between now and then, it's not surprising that Pettine is not overly concerned right now with what his depth chart looks like at any position.
"We're rotating guys and different personnel groupings and we just want to find out who can play. So we're a long way from trying to hone it down and trying to figure out who's going to be out there," he said. "That's to me a little bit too far down the road to talk about."
Pettine stays very much in the moment. That explains why he didn't seem bothered at all that he hasn't met, or even spoken with, Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd. Byrd, who was given the franchise tag by the team, has yet to sign it or work out a long-term contract, and is staying away from the voluntary practices.
"It's a coaching cliche, but I can only really deal with the players that are here. I haven't met him, and again, he's not here," Pettine said. "For some of the other guys that aren't here, we have plenty to do with the guys that are. We really haven't, as a staff, given it much thought."
Pettine, however, did share his thoughts on a few players through the first five of 10 organized team activities.
On rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso out of Oregon: "Kiko's had a good start for us. To me, it's a credit to the coaching staff at Oregon. I mean, he's NFL ready. He understands a lot of the concepts we're playing. They played a lot of them in college."
Pettine, though, cautioned that not too much should be read into Alonso starting team drills with the starting unit this week.
"It's a credit to his preparation. He came in and did a good job in the rookie camp. Now, we're still in the process of rolling guys through. We've been alternating. This was his week to get with the ones," he said. "It's still a work in progress. There's been no commitment made there."
On Aaron Williams, who's making the transition from cornerback to safety: "He's doing a nice job, and that's a difficult thing. You could make the argument, 'well he's a DB and he's staying a DB.' The safety world is very different from the corner world. He's very intelligent and he's soaking it all in. Every day is a challenge for him as far as new concepts in the playbook and I think he's done a real nice job buying in and really getting quickly to the graduate-level details of it."
Pettine again reiterated his desire to have a flexible defense. Defenders like Mario Williams and Bryan Scott have said this offseason, only half-jokingly, that they're not even sure what position they're playing sometimes in the scheme.
"I think a cornerstone of this is flexibility," Pettine said. "You have to have the ability to have guys play multiple positions and play multiple jobs. If you want to confuse an offense, I think you have to have guys that can be a defensive end and outside linebacker, a safety and inside linebacker, a nickel and outside corner or safety.
"A big part of the NFL is identifying guys pre-snap. We want to limit the amount of pre-snap information we're putting out to an offense. That's why we look for guys that have that type of versatility, and then at the same time you're cross-training guys to play other positions.
"Injuries are a part of the game. We're always in the business as a coaching staff to put our best 11 out there. And we want to be in a position to do that, so when you have guys that know multiple jobs, that makes it a lot easier."

Are Giuliana and Bill Rancic on their way to expanding their family?
The season finale of their reality show, Giuliana & Bill – which is being moved to E! this season, beginning on Oct. 15 – ended with the couple asking their surrogate if she wanted to carry another child for them.
"I think her answer will surprise a lot of people," Rancic, 39, recently told PEOPLE on what's to come on the season premiere of the show. "It's not as cut and dry as I think you would expect."
Adds Rancic, who teamed up with Save Lids to Save Lives to raise money and awareness for breast cancer: "We're thinking about having kids, but there's nothing solid or concrete. I've got to say that first year was a lot, but when he turned one, it was like a switch turned on. Suddenly it all started making sense and we really got the hang of it. Before, we were like, what about an only child? Now we're thinking, no, we definitely want another child."
As for now, being a mom to 13-month-old Edward Duke is "just the greatest," Rancic says, adding, "He's such a good boy and he's happy and he's always laughing."
And the little one is already pretty active.
"He's now dancing," she says. "If you put a certain song on, his whole body starts moving. It's the cutest thing. But if you put a different song on, he won't do it. There's this one song. It's kind of patriotic. There are like drums. Speaking of drums, he loves drumming. I told Bill we may have a little musician on our hands."
Looking back, following infertility struggles, a miscarriage and a battle with breast cancer, Rancic says she now feels "great. I really do."
She continues, "It was so hard at the beginning, especially going public with something as personal as breast cancer. As time goes by and the wounds start to heal, it goes from thinking about it 100 times a day, to 50 times a day, to 20 times a day, to five times a day. Looking back, I'm happy with the choice to have gone public. I get so many women coming up to me literally every day."

Stephanie Demake was named the assistant coach for the Stetson women's soccer program on June 27, 2013.
"Steph's incredible passion for the game, her desire to be a college coach, her dedication to wanting to improve her craft, and the style of soccer she likes to play were key factors for me in offering her the job," Stetson head coach Manoj Khettry said on the day Demake was announced as the assistant coach. "Steph is the person that this program and I need in order to improve."
"I am excited about the opportunity to work with Manoj and to contribute to the growing success of the women's soccer program and the university," Demake said after being hired.

"I am so excited to be working with her, and I know that our program, our players, and I will benefit from her passion, her experience, her tireless work ethic, and her commitment to excellence. I couldn't be happier for our program, and I can't wait to have her on campus and begin working with my new colleague."
Demake brings over five years of coaching and operational experience at both youth and collegiate levels to Stetson. Her most recent stint was as an assistant coach at Ohio University during the 2012-13 season. With the Bobcats Demake was responsible for assisting in the planning, organization, and implementation of in season and out of season training sessions, as well as student-athlete recruitment and much more.
Prior to her time at Ohio, Demake was an assistant coach at Wheaton College in Massachusetts from 2010-12. With Demake on staff the Lyons advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament Second Round in both 2010 and 2011.
Demake got her start in coaching with the New England Futbol Club, helping to develop youth players aged six to 14 beginning in 2009. She worked with the club program until 2012 when she took the position at Ohio.
A graduate of Worcester State University, earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in 2010, Demake was a three-year student-athlete at Worcester State. A captain as a senior, she earned MASCAC All-Conference honors twice and led the Lancers to the MASCAC Championship and the Sweet 16 of the Division III NCAA Tournament in 2007.
Demake played at the University of Hartford during her freshman campaign, helping to lead the Hawks to an America East Championship in 2006.
Demake holds both a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) National Diploma from 2010, as well as an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma from 2011. She earned a Master of Science degree in coaching education at Ohio University in December of 2013.

SUMMARY: Dr. Jagannath believes that OS is the ultimate gold standard, and that attempts to increase the CR rate after induction (pre-transplant) will improve the CR rate post-transplant, and will eventually increase OS. In phase 2 trials, bortezomib as frontline therapy in various combinations has resulted in high CR rates both before and after high dose chemotherapy, and appears to overcome the high risk cytogenetics including chromosome 13 deletion, Rb deletion, and t(4;14). The use of bortezomib with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) allows a steroid-sparing regimen that Dr. Jagannath noted has a response rate almost as good as the combination of bortezomib plus doxorubicin plus dexamethasone. He noted that the use of thalidomide as a short induction platform was not as good as that seen with bortezomib. Induction therapy with novel agents has increased the post-transplantation CR rate, reduced the need for second transplants, but an increase in progression-free survival (PFS) and OS needs to be demonstrated. Nevertheless, there is a role for integration of bortezomib into high dose therapy as an induction regimen.
