Director Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candelabra (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET, on HBO) is one of the smartest, tartest examples I've ever seen of that soupy genre, the Hollywood biopic.
Michael Douglas – simply great – plays Liberace, once upon a time billed as Mr. Showmanship. Wikipedians probably know him as a closeted Vegas piano act who performed under staggering amounts of fur, jewels and sequins – with his thick toupee, he looked like Bob Mackie's idea of a snow owl – and who died of complications from AIDS in 1987.
The Liberace we see here – middle-aged and in the disco 1970s, with plenty of adoring female fans – is an obligingly (and cagily) pleasant creature who lives within the confines of a sparkly little kingdom he has forged from wealth and talent.
He has appetites – for bling, sex, kitsch – and he satisfies them because he can. There's not much that connects his pampered, casually amoral life to existence as understood by non-celebrities: Liberace is Liberace, much as Sinatra was Sinatra. Only campier. One might call his entourage the Fab Pack.
As to music, he expresses little interest in it, except as the vehicle to his success. The genius of Chopin doesn't matter nearly as much as the skill of Liberace's plastic surgeon (a hilariously grotesque Rob Lowe, looking like something from Death Becomes Her).
Into this world Liberace carefully, methodically introduces a new, younger lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon, gamely playing brick-stupid). Liberace just as methodically excretes him after he becomes a drug addict and threatens to upset the gilded apple cart. The story is a devastatingly simple parable about money, ego and power – and how they are maintained – in the dream factory.
Douglas, whose performances can suggest a reptilian cool beneath the skin, brings a touch of that here, even when flirtatiously batting his eyes at the boys. He's Mr. Soullessness.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Stetson women's basketball team had its school-record 11-game winning streak halted by Florida Gulf Coast 74-55 Saturday night at Alico Arena.
Victoria McGowan and Shanasa Sanders each scored 16 points as the Hatters (15-5, 8-1 A-Sun) suffered just their first conference loss of the year.
Stetson's 11-game win streak had ranked as the third-longest active streak in the NCAA, trailing only Baylor's 16-game streak and Notre Dame's 13 consecutive wins.
In a match-up between two undefeated teams in A-Sun play, the Eagles (16-5, 9-0 A-Sun) owned a significant advantage on the boards, outrebounding Stetson 43-29. FGCU converted 16 offensive rebounds into 15 second chance points.
"I thought the game would come down to rebounding and it did," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I thought they got some critical rebounds when we needed stops. They are not a team that you can keep giving possessions, and if you do you are in trouble. It is something we can learn from."
The Eagles hit seven three-pointers in the first half and jumped out to a 37-24 halftime lead.
Stetson bit into the lead in the second half as Sasha Sims drained a three-pointer with 12 minutes left to cut the lead to eight. Jama Sharp and Sanders later converted a two-on-one fastbreak at the 7:38 mark to pull Stetson within six, 53-47, but the Hatters would get no closer.
"I thought our second half was much more aggressive," Bria said. "I thought we were much more aggressive defensively and our offense was better. Overall I thought our game plan was good, our effort was pretty good, but the rebounding hurt us."
Sims scored nine points and collected two blocks in the game and became just the third player in school history to record 100 career blocks. McGowan also surpassed the 200 career steals mark and now ranks seventh in school history in that category.
Stetson will continue its three-game road trip next Saturday at North Florida. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. with coverage on ASun.TV, HatterVision, and WSBB.
Notes: Janelle Mills played in her 117th career game, tied for third-most in school history. She recorded two blocks … McGowan moved up to seventh all-time in school history in points scored (1348) … Jama Sharp has 21 steals in her last five games (three on Saturday) … Sanders scored the final 10 points for Stetson and added a team-high eight rebounds.

Closer look at financial numbers offers clarity
April 29, 2013
LISBON — The recent stories about investment problems in the Columbiana County Treasurer's Office may have given the wrong impression about the county's financial condition....
Why are we collecting money for everyone and receiving interest off another parties money. A Common Person would be audited if we knowing was keeping money for 30 days that belonged in anothers interest account instead of just Nancys.. Pour Nick he wasn't on the take end but it seems this treasurer is... Easy for her to embezzle with her finger pointing and holding accounts just for her interest. When by county officials its much needed before investing for interest...

have been waiting a long time for "Duke Nukem Forever," and
that wait will be over in a little less than a week. But for some, the wait
ended yesterday when the game leaked onto the internet.
With much anticipation for the new "Duke
Nukem," game players were pushing to get a glimpse of 2K Games' latest
creation in the series. Over the last two weeks alone, several fake "Duke
Nukem Forever" files have popped up all over the web.
But the real deal appeared on torrent sites like BitTorrent yesterday, with the
Xbox 360 version made available by the Scene group "Complex," and the
PS3 version compliments of the Scene Group "Duplex."
This leak could make or break the new game, as gamers who test it will likely
spread the word as to whether it's a worthy buy or not.
"Duke Nukem Forever" will officially release on June 14 for Xbox 360,
PS3 and Windows.
"Duke Nukem" is a video game series that was initially released in
1991 for MS-DOS, and focuses on protagonist Duke Nukem. "Duke Nukem
ll" was released in 1993, and "Duke Nukem 3D" launched in 1996.
In addition, many spin-offs like "Duke Nukem: Critical Mass" were
quote: The K+M behavior was nerfed and there was liberal auto-aim employed and a cone of fire slop so that mouse accuracy was essentially useless.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
A rocking crowd. A comfortable lead. Strong defense. Timely offense.
The stage was set for the biggest victory thus far for the Fort Lewis College men�s basketball team on Saturday at Whalen Gymnasium.
Then, it all came undone. And there were no late-game heroics to pull the Skyhawks from the fire.
An 18-5 run turned a 12-point FLC lead into a deficit, and Adams State held on to hand Fort Lewis its first loss 82-76 on Saturday.
The Skyhawks (5-1, 2-1 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) led by as much as 48-30 in the first half. They were up 65-52 when Adams State (5-0, 3-0 RMAC), the nation�s top team in field-goal percentage defense, held defensively. The Grizzlies stopped the Skyhawks without a field goal for nearly the last 10:27 of the game, finally putting it away on a pair of layups and four free throws in the final 1 minute, 23 seconds.
�They would go down and score, and we�d have to work so hard to get a good-looking shot, and they�d come down so fast,� Fort Lewis head coach Bob Hofman said.
The Grizzlies used their transition game to get back on top, finally getting out and running and beating the Fort Lewis defense down the floor too often for Hofman�s liking.
�They made us ... get comfortable,� said Marcus Ayala, who led FLC with 16 points. �They picked up the intensity while we thought we were ahead by so much that we didn�t come out with intensity.�
Alex Herrera had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Skyhawks, and Nick Tomsick added 15 to help FLC build a 48-30 lead and an eventual 48-36 halftime advantage.
James Lake led the Grizzlies with 19 points, while Kaimyn Pruitt had 11 points and 13 rebounds.

There's something about mediocre Big Ten bowl opponents that bring out the worst in the Red Raiders. If Tech is heavily favored over an underpowered Minnesota, Michigan State or Northwestern, you can be sure the Red Raiders will make the game far more interesting than it ought to be. That was certainly the case down in Houston where Tech's defense made the anemic gophers look like vintage Tom Osborne Cornhuskers and the offense went somnolent long enough to put Red Raider heads in the noose.
Still, it was a win. Ask the Red Raiders if they'd like to swap places with the Golden Gophers about now.
Quarterbacks: Seth Doege made some good plays and he made some bad ones, but when the chips were down, he came through and led Tech to victory. The touchdown scramble late in the second quarter was the best run of Doege's career. He was decisive, made one great move, and finished with heart and effort. The two picks in the second half were nearly fatal. The slant to Eric Ward for the tying points was Doege at his best. Micheal Brewer's touchdown pass to Derek Edwards was perfect and impressive considering he came in cold.
Grade: B-
Running Backs: Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens were sharp, quick and fast. They couldn't have played much better, and should have gotten more opportunities to run the rock.
Grade: A
Receivers: This was not a scintillating performance by the wideouts. Eric Ward struggled at times against Michael Carter, but his game-tying touchdown reception was the highlight of the game for this group. Darrin Moore had a very quiet 11-catch game. Tyson Williams had six receptions, but dropped a touchdown pass and committed a touchdown-nullifying holding penalty. Jace Amaro's return from injury was inauspicious. He dropped one pass, and committed a critical personal foul violation that got him ejected from the game. The key to Amaro's future is psychological maturation.
Grade: D+
Offensive Line: The line played one of its better games of the season. Beau Carpenter's personal foul gave Minnesota the field position to score a touchdown, LaAdrian Waddle had a silly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and Deveric Gallington surrendered one sack, but otherwise it was lights out. Carpenter was a mauler in the run game, and both tackles blocked very will in general. The Gophers blitzed a great deal but rarely bothered Doege.
Grade: B+
Defensive Line: The line was tough against the pass but had no answer for Minnesota's run blocking. Specifically, the Gophers couldn't handle Dartwan Bush, Dennell Wesley, and Kerry Hyder when their quarterbacks dropped to pass, but few of Tech's linemen managed to hang in on running plays. Additionally, Tech's ends missed far too many tackles in the backfield. Philip Daniels and MarQueis Gray are nobody's Johnny Manzeil and Robert Griffin, and Tech can thank God for that.
Grade: C-
Linebackers: Tech's linebackers didn't make a single play in the backfield or a single play in the passing game. What's more, most of their tackles came well downfield. We saw little block-shedding from this group. Micah Awe got by far his most extensive playing time of the season and finished with four tackles.
Grade: D
Secondary: Outside of D. J. Johnson's monster interception, it was a terrible night for the secondary. The Minnesota passing attack—if one can call it that—is abysmal, yet Gopher receivers ran free through the secondary for most of the game. The Red Raiders can be thankful that Minnesota's quarterbacks are about as accurate as Mr. Magoo. Why the secondary was so disorganized is somewhat of a mystery. As is Derrick Mays' extensive presence and Bruce Jones' relative absence.
Grade: D
Special Teams: Jakeem Grant certainly has the wow factor, doesn't he? As soon as he learns to take what the coverage gives him, he will be a very special return man. Austin Zouzalik had a great punt return nullified by an illegal block. Ryan Bustin did not choke when confronted by a game-winning kick situation. Ryan Erxleben's punts were subpar and so were Kramer Fyfe's kickoffs.
Grade: C+

DeLand, Fla. – Stetson University women's basketball head coach Lynn Bria announced the signing Friday of Santa Clara University transfer Jo Paine (Oregon City, Ore.) to a Grant-in-Aid offer. The 6-0 forward will have three years of eligibility remaining with the Hatters beginning with the 2015-16 season.
"Jo brings more versatility and proven production to our program," Bria said. "She had a great freshman season in the West Coast Conference playing against great competition. Jo has a very mature offensive game and can score from all levels along with being a tough rebounder. She will be an impact player for us and has three years in a Hatter uniform. We are very excited to have Jo come aboard."
Paine averaged 10.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Broncos this past season and was selected to the West Coast Conference all-freshman team. She started all 30 games, leading the team in 3-point field goal shooting (37.5%) and tying for the team lead in 3-pointers (36). She also ranked second on the team in scoring and rebounding, while adding 38 assists and 16 steals.
Paine scored in double figures 18 times during the season, including a career-best 28 points at Pepperdine on Jan. 2. She also grabbed a season-best 14 rebounds in that contest.
The Oregon native played prep basketball for four years at Oregon City High School.
Paine joins Alexandra Ciabattoni (Newman University) as four-year college transfers who will be eligible for the 2015-16 season.

No-one around, chick #3 has hatched and we are happy.
It's just dawned on me that the few degrees increase in temperature yesterday tipped me over the edge - my temp control is haywire at the best of times, the heat makes me fainty and nauseated. Unlike most of you, I need a chilly summer.
I fell foul of the 2359 shut-down so have no video after midnight, but I'll look at the late evening in case anything interesting occurred.

More chattering from the chicks. They're certainly noisey wee things this year. Still on a high about third hatching.
Getting a lot lighter at LG now.
I've dismantled my existing sound setup and can't get no sound off the telly now.
Goodness me, they're going at it hammer and tongs on and around the nest :-D
Aww. Shame you can't get sound off your telly, Scylla. Really hope it fixes soon :-) There a lovely amount of noise at LG just now.
Sorry I have to fly off but I should be getting some sleep. The chicks are calling again :-) I'm away to roost for a wee while.
Happy watching everybody :-)
Morning all. Thanks for starting us off Scylla :o) and for the posts together with Heron.
04.12 Day cam on.

Like Cyrus, Parton grew up in the spotlight, with her career already underway at age 10. The seven-time Grammy winner tells The Sunday Times magazine that she understands what Cyrus goes through.
"Yeah, well I do, 'cause back in the day, doing my own things my own way, and dressing sexy and showing my cleavage and all that, I got a lot of criticism. Lots of people thought I was making a mistake and that I was just trashy, which I was," says the singer and songwriter, 68.
"So I did go through that, but I don't give her advice. Everyone has to walk this journey according to their own rules. That's what she's doing. And I lurve her."
Parton has known Cyrus since she was a little girl, and supports her on-stage experimentation, having said that Cyrus is "just trying to find her own place and wings and learn to fly."
"I've known her daddy [Billy Ray Cyrus] the many years he's been in the business. I've watched her grow up," Parton says. "She's a smart girl. She had to go to extremes to get her point across. I think she got the point across."

Antibody therapy reduced risk of new attacks by up to 68% compared with steroids.[© falkjohann - Fotolia.com]
Novartis reported positive data from two Phase III studies evaluating its fully human monoclonal antibody canakinumab (ACZ885) in the treatment of severe gouty arthritis. The combined data showed that in comparison with treatment using the injectable steroid triamcinolone acetonide (TA), therapy using subcutaneously injected canakinumab provided better pain relief and reduced the risk of new attacks by up to 68%.
Regulatory filings for the use of ACZ885 in gouty arthritis were filed in the EU in 2010, and in the U.S. earlier in 2011. ACZ885 is already approved in over 45 countries including the EU, U.S., and Switzerland, under the brand name Ilaris®, as a treatment for the inflammatory disorder cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, in adults and children. The antibody is separately being investigated in other inflammatory disorders including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Sales of Ilaris for the CAPS indication were $11 million in the first quarter of 2011.
The two reported 12-week Phase III gouty arthritis trials involved a total of over 450 affected patients for whom standard anti-inflammatory treatments, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or colchicine were inadequate or inappropriate. The primary endpoints were pain intensity at 72 hours post-dose, and time to first new gouty attack. Pain intensity scores were measured according to the Visual Analog Scale.
In one of the studies patients treated using the IL-1beta inhibitor canakinumab demonstrated significantly lower mean pain scores from baseline compared with those receiving TA. Pain intensity at 72 hours was 29.1 mm for canakinumab-treated patients, and 39.5 mm for the TA-treated cohort. The equivalent 72-hour pain scores in the second study were similarly significant, at 22.1 mm for the canakinumab group, and 31.9 m for the TA group.
In the first study, 40 TA-treated patients experienced a new gouty arthritis attack, compared with only 21 patients in the canakinumab cohort. 42 TA-treated patients in the second study experienced a new attack, compared with just 15 patients in the canakinumab group.
"Scientists only recently learned that the root cause of the pain in gouty arthritis is IL-1beta," comments Professor Alexander So, one of the Phase III studies' lead investigators, at the department of rheumatology, Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois. "Through specifically targeting IL-1beta these studies show ACZ885 can effectively treat painful attacks while extending the time to new attacks."

In this video, two Sr. Lead Program Managers—Mike Ammerlaan and Rolando Jimenez, for SharePoint and Office respectively—provide a technical drill-down into the use of standard Web technologies, security principles employed, and performance topics regarding apps for Office and SharePoint. Learn about the types of apps you can create, the various options for hosting your apps for SharePoint anywhere in the cloud (yes, anywhere!), and various deployment models. Rolando and Mike use demos of both apps for Office and SharePoint and provide insight into what's going on behind the scenes. Certainly there will be a deeper-dive on this later in the Inside apps for Office and SharePoint series, but this should whet your appetite!

Oops, something didn't work.
I really liked this video, it gives you a clear view on what to expect and how to develop Apps for Office and SharePoint. I think its a pretty exciting idea to be able to "expand" your documents being able to include apps in them, and also having the opportunity to sell and buy new apps.
Pretty awesome!

I've never seen anything like it at big box home stores, but you can look for local sources of mine conveyor belt that has been retired. You find this at mining and gravel pit operations.
March 16, 2013, 03:12 PM
I assume you are using this for a target backer.I use mud flaps from tractor trailers.They aren't as big,but they are self healing and cheap.
March 17, 2013, 08:49 AM
appreciate the mining info.. i should have reasonable access, if i take time to call around enough.
if it takes me a while to get a 4ft wide belt, i can live with semi mud flap size unitil May. lol.
March 17, 2013, 09:08 AM
Just overlap them to make as wide an area as you need.
BTW, just hang them. You want them to move as freely as possible when the bullet hits to rob more of the energy than if they were anchored top and bottom.
March 17, 2013, 05:07 PM
Like this?
Seems to work well for .223, but .38SPL and .22 rimfire tend to bounce off the front sheet.
I have two sheets, one in front of the other, backed by cinder block.
March 18, 2013, 03:04 PM
Yeah, I'll overlap by 6" and only fasten the top of the sheets -- like Linatex practices.
Owen, do you find the bounce from .22 or .38 to be dangerous?
March 18, 2013, 04:30 PM
We use old conveyor belting from a gravel quary, it works really well and you can staple paper targets to it. Check with quarys around your area some have piles of it out back waiting to be hauled off.
March 18, 2013, 06:29 PM
luvit... I haven't been hit by one. I'm sure it would sting like hell.
March 18, 2013, 07:44 PM
Check your local farm stores for "cattle/horse mats". They're really heavy rubber, big and not horribly expensive.
Here's one from our local store:
March 18, 2013, 07:46 PM
but i'm looking for 4x8 or larger.. and hoping not as heavy as those horse mats so I can hang them.. but i've never felt the weight of ballistic rubber.
March 19, 2013, 10:31 AM
luvit, I was surpised how light it was. You can get it in 4' x 30' rolls
March 19, 2013, 10:40 AM
you can use a yoga mat. Cut it, glue several layers together, compress it aka cover it with a trash bag and park on it, be sure to glue base frame in between layers
April 9, 2013, 04:54 PM
You can get stall mats in 2x4 foot sizes as well. much easier to handle. Got mine at Tractor Supply Co.
June 10, 2013, 01:03 AM
Tractor Supply if you have one sells stall mats in various thicknesses: 1/4, 3/8, 3/4 inch. I use the 3/4 as a backer for my range as well as a 2-foot high front stop to keep dirt from falling out the front of the backstop.

It was supposed to be a lunchtime forum so law enforcement could explain the state's new, stricter gun control law.
But a gathering in Clarence on Tuesday was more like a public demonstration of gun owners, who vented their anger and frustration toward lawmakers in Albany.
"This is a big mistake," one man said during the question-and-answer period. "This law should be repealed."
At least 150 people from across Niagara and Erie counties packed into the Clarence library to hear what authorities had to say about changes to owning assault-style semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It was contentious from the get-go.
Dozens of people stood shoulder to shoulder in the small community room in the library. Others spilled into the hall.
As state officials began their presentation, the crowd stood and broke into the Pledge of Allegiance, stressing the words "under God" and "with liberty and justice for all."
"This law is not only confusing, it's totally inappropriate," said William Chapman of Alden.
Chapman, a gun instructor, stood at the back of the room. He showed up at the forum to listen, but also wanted to let someone – anyone – from the state know that the stricter gun law is infringing on his rights.
"It's part of the Second Amendment to own firearms," said Chapman, 50. "They're restricting it. They're going way beyond."
Tom Schultz listened quietly from the hallway. He didn't know about the forum until just the other day, when he noticed a small posting on a website.
"They have it on a weekday afternoon with very little notice and they still get a good turnout," said Schultz, of Elma. "That shows you how upset people are."
Frustrations over this issue are boiling over beyond the Buffalo Niagara region.
The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association said on its website Tuesday that it was set to file a notice of claim against the state, paving the way for a lawsuit against the new gun control law.
"I feel bad for the people that are here to give the information," said Schultz, 56, "but people are venting because they had no other input on this."
The forum in Clarence was attended by representatives from state and county law enforcement agencies and was the first of several held in counties around the state throughout the day.
Mike Green, executive deputy commissioner of the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, and Steve Hogan, first deputy counsel for the State Police, offered an overview of the new law with a short presentation that hit on some of the highlights.
All assault weapons, as defined under the NY SAFE Act, are illegal to buy or sell in the state. Anyone who owns such a weapon is allowed to keep it, but owners must register it with State Police within one year, beginning April 15.
The new legislation also addresses high-capacity ammunition clips – only clips that hold seven or fewer rounds can be bought and sold in the state. Gun owners who had clips that can hold up to 10 rounds can keep them, but cannot have more than seven rounds in each clip.
While the resentment in the room was aimed at the politicians in Albany, Green and Hogan took the brunt of the heat on Tuesday, often being interrupted by comments from gun owners frustrated by the new legislation.
"Police officers should be arresting the traitors that signed it!" piped up one man.
"When are we going to debate it?" chimed in another.
"The purpose today is not to debate the bill," Green told the crowd. "The bill is passed. It is what it is. We're simply trying to get information out about the [law]."
Eventually, the gun owners – some of whom cut out of work to attend the noon meeting – lined up, and one by one, asked more detailed questions about the new law.
Fred Cimato of Clarence was concerned about what the state considers an excessive purchase of ammunition.
He's a professional sport shooter, so it's not unusual for him to buy thousands of rounds at one time. He wanted to know if this was going to be a problem for him.
"They really didn't give me an answer," said Cimato, 46.
The state representatives were at the Clarence forum for well over two hours, but it was clear it was going to take some more doing to sort out confusion over the new law.
"I drove all the way here in the rain, got wet feet and soaked because of Cuomo," yelled one man, "and you can't answer my question?"
State representatives said the forums are continuing today in other parts of the state. More are planned for Western New York in the future, a state spokeswoman said, but dates weren't immediately available.
Hogan also directed gun owners to the website www.nysafeact.com, which has a question-and-answer section and photographs of weapons to help owners understand if their gun will now be classified as an assault weapon.
In addition, Hogan said, people can get answers by calling the toll-free number (855) 529-4867 during business hours on weekdays.
"We know there are going to be new questions popping up every day from gun owners and dealers," Hogan said. "We want to answer these questions."
But Richard Hummell walked out of the forum early – and disappointed.
"There was no new information, no clarification," said Hummell, of Clarence. "What I learned here today, I knew before I came. It was all online. I was hoping to get a little more clarification. I'm not a lawyer and a lot of it is legalese."
Hummell also was unhappy that the forum was poorly publicized.
"This is a clear attempt to limit the crowd," said Hummell, 58. "If you want to have an event like this, have it on the weekend. Have it at 7 p.m."

Roll It!
Nelson Perez went 2-3 with a triple, an RBI, a walk, and two runs scored and 17-year old Dominican LHP Jeffry Antigua pitched four strong innings, leading the EXST Cubs to a 9-4 sinking of the EXST Mariners in a Beat-the-Heat "Rush Hour Special" (9 AM start) at Fitch Park Field #3 this morning.
This was the final game of Extended Spring Training, although Cubs players who were assigned to EXST will reconvene at Fitch Park next week along with high school, JC, and college players selected and subsequently signed by the Cubs out of this week's Rule 4 Draft, plus any Non-Drafted Free-agents (NDFA) the Cubs might sign in the days after the draft.
Then it's up to Cubs VP of Player Personnel Oneri Fleita to decide who goes to Boise, and who stays at Fitch Park (AZL Cubs). And Oneri will not have a lot of time decide, either, because the Boise squad will leave for Idaho a week from tomorrow.
Simultaneous to the EXST game on Field #3, Angel Guzman (rehabbing at Fitch Park after undergoing "Tommy John" elbow surgery last September) and Manolin DeLeon (RHP recently arrived from the Cubs Dominican Academy) squared-off in a two-inning (30 pitches for each pitcher, 15 pitches per inning) "simulated game" on Field #2, facing several players (John Contreras, Bryan Jost, Junior Lake, Jose Made, George Matheus, Jeffrey Rea, and Cesar Salazar) who were not in the starting lineup in the EXST game.
Guzman was very sharp, throwing 94 MPH fastballs, nasty curves, and a first-class change-up to the tune of 22 strikes and only eight balls in his two innings of work. With EXST now over, Guzman could go out on a 30-day MLB DL rehab assignment to perhaps someplace like Daytona very soon
DeLeon, who was a very recent addition to the EXST Cubs roster, is basically in game shape, having spent the past month at the Cubs Dominican Academy preparing for the Dominican Summer League season. The 21-year old DeLeon was the DSL Cubs co-closer in 2007, and he could very well be a co-closer (with Rogelio Carmona and/or Israel Camacaro) for the AZL Cubs in 2008.
After the simulated game, ex-OF (now RHP) Andres Quezada threw his first "live" BP session on Field #2. Quezada is still a ways behind the other two recently converted position players, ex-C (now RHP) Jake Muyco and ex-OF (now LHP) Luke Sommer, but at least "Q" is finally getting some work against "live" hitters.
Oneri Fleita was in attendance at Fitch Park again today, sitting high atop the tower between the four fields, from where he could simultaneously watch both the "sim game" on Field #2 and the EXST game on Field #3. And he certainly made his presence known, too!
In true Larry Himes fashion, Oneri went ballistic not once but twice, the first time when he noticed 2B Jeffrey Rea (who is at Fitch Park rehabbing from a quad strain) hitting in the simulated game while dressed only in a t-shirt and shorts (not an unusual outfit for an "off-field" workout at EXST, BTW, especially for a rehab guy who is only cleared to take BP).
ONERI: (yelling at Rea): "Where's your fucking uniform?! You think you're a coach? This isn't Mississippi State! Get the hell off the field!"
At first I don't think Rea knew that Oneri was yelling at him (in particular). He just stood there behind the batting cage, leaning on his bat and talking to the other hitters. I think that's what really got Oneri mad, because that's when he mentioned "Mississippi State" (Rea played college ball at MSU).
See, Rea is a nice kid, but he is very quiet and serious. I've never seen him joke around with the other players, and he really seems to study the game closely when he sits on the bench. You could see he was embarrassed and a bit puzzled by Fleita's rant as he trotted to the clubhouse.
And then in the bottom of the 1st inning of the EXST game on Field #3, Josh Vitters scored standing up on a two-out RBI single to LF by Carlos Perez, but Vitters just barely beat the throw to the plate and almost got knocked off his feet, failing to slide because on-deck hitter Kyler Burke didn't get into position near home plate to coach the runner. So Vitters scores and gets a high-five from Burke, and then Burke ambles up to the plate for his AB.
ONERI: (yelling at Boise manager Tom Beyers, who was the EXST game manager today): "Get a fucking pinch-hitter up there, Tommy! If he can't coach the runner, he can't play! The runner can't score standing up like that! That's how guys get hurt!"
And so Kyler Burke gets this classic "WTF?" look on his face, and walks slowly back to the bench with his head down, as Junior Lake has to hurriedly run over to Field #3 from Field #2 (where he was hitting in the sim game) to pinch-hit for Burke. (Lake had a "WTF?" look on his face, too).
I think the f-bombs yelled at the top of his lungs are what really put it over the top, especially since the Cubs players at Extended Spring Training are continually being told to maintain a "professional demeanor" at all times.
Here is today's EXST Cubs abridged box score (Cubs players only)...
1a. Dwayne Kemp, 2B: 1-3 (3B, R, 2 K)
1b. Jose Made, 2B: 0-1 (K)
2. Starlin Castro, SS: 1-3 (RBI, R, BB)
3a. Josh Vitters, 3B: 0-1 (2 R, BB, HBP)

8b. Bryan Jost, 1B: 1-1 (2B)
9. Kevin Soto, CF: 0-4 (K)
10. Marwin Gonzalez, DH #2: 0-4
1. Jeffry Antigua - 4.0 IP, 3 H. 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 1 PO (7/2 GO/FO)
2. Israel Camacaro - 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP, 1 WP
3. Jake Muyco - 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K (4/2 GO/FO)
4. Arik Hempy - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 2 R (0 ER), 1 BB, 1 K
1. Robinson Chirinos, E-2, made errant throw to 1st base on swinging bunt roller in front of home plate.
2. Josh Vitters, E-5, bounced throw past 1st baseman with two outs and runner at 2nd base, allowing runner to score.
3. Jose Made, E-4, missed catch on what should have been an easy 6-4-3 game ending DP, all runners safe.
4. Starlin Castro, E-6, on very next play after Made's error, Castro missed catch on what should have been at least a 3-6 FC at 2nd base.
Kevin Soto threw out runner 8-5 trying to advance from 1st to 3rd on a single to CF.
Temperature in the 80's, partly cloudy and breezy.

Cubs sign Korean shortstop?
AZ Phil: Thank you for all your insight -- I have read this site for a long time (though I just registered today to ask a question) and your insight always gives me a better perspective on the Cubs minor leagues.
Quick Question: Baseball America reported that the Cubs signed Hak Ju Lee, a SS from Korea and the MLB approved the contract just last week. Is this the same SS discussed before who is going to the Australian baseball camp? If so, why did it take so long for MLB to approve the contract?
Also, more open ended question: As opposed to international signees, fans are aware of many of the Rule 4 draft players, as they are covered more closely and typically play in the US minor league system. Of the foreign players you have seen this year, did any one (or hopefully more) stand out as being players who will become top prospects in the next few years?
Thank you again for all your insight.
Re: Roll It!
AZ Phil: how is the conversion of Jake Muyco going (from catcher to pitcher). Particularly in terms of how many pitches he's working on and his control to this point. Does he have to potential to be Marmol-lite?

Re: Roll It!
ozzie guillen approves.
btw...this is the kind of crap you put kids through in the minors (imo) so you dont have to do as much of it in the majors. its great its being done by a figurehead that the kids dont have to live/work with everyday that carries an aura of respect, too.
if you have to do this crap in the majors with too much of your team you either got piss poor personnel development in the minors (see: TB and CIN where for years all they've cared about is play, not the humans behind it all suddenly discovering a world of fame, money, and the majority of the rest of the club who are weighing various levels of competitiveness vs. their peers in order to succeed.) or you're a team that buys other team's problems like the yanks.
no, you're never gonna get a full team of "together" guys, though teams like CLE and COL try, but these guys in the low levels need to be experienced with someone who's their superior screaming stuff at them that they not only don't question, but accept it and move on.

In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed says it's standing by its plan to keep short-term rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent, as long as the inflation outlook remains mild. And it says it will continue buying $85 billion a month in bonds indefinitely to keep long-term borrowing costs down.
The unemployment rate fell to a four-year low of 7.7 percent in February, among many signs of a healthier economy. The Fed notes in its statement that the job market has improved. But its latest economic forecast maintains that unemployment won't reach 6.5 percent until 2015.

Woman stripped naked, gang-raped in Tripura
By IANS - AGARTALA
Published: 22nd December 2012 08:12 PM
Last Updated: 22nd December 2012 08:12 PM
A housewife was stripped naked, gangraped and battered in full public glare in Tripura, police said Saturday.
"A 37-year-old woman was gang-raped at Bishalgarh in western Tripura Wednesday night. After the rape, the women was stripped naked, brutally beaten up and then tied to a tree," a police official told reporters here.
Based on the victim's complaint, police immediately swung into action and arrested seven people. However, three more accused, including the main one, are on the run.
Police said the accused dragged the house wife from her home and took turns to rape her before many people, including women. But no one dared to come forward to save the mother of a five-year-old.
The role of the husband is also being probed, the police official said.
Tripura Woman's Commission chairperson Purnima Roy strongly condemned the atrocious incident and asked the police to take stern action against the culprits.
People organised a protest rally at Bishalgarh, 25 km from here, over the incident.

The Stetson lacrosse team dropped a 12-4 contest to visiting Colorado on Thursday evening at the Athletic Training Center. Sophomore Mary Kate O'Sullivan led the Hatters with two goals, while junior Samantha Akl recorded three assists in the defeat.
In their first game of women's lacrosse ever, the Buffaloes came out energetic and got out on top of the Hatters at the start. Colorado outscored Stetson 6-0 over the course of the first 30 minutes, outshooting the Hatters 14-5.
Stetson fought back in the second half though, scoring four goals while holding the Buffs to just six goals for a second straight period. The two teams alternated scores for the first 25 minutes of the frame, as the Hatters trailed just 10-4 with five minutes to play.
Colorado added two final goals to leave with the 12-4 road victory. Cali Catagnola led the Buffs with four goals, while Johnna Fusco and Katie Macleay added three each in the win. Fusco also totaled three assists for Colorado.
The 12 goals allowed by Stetson was the second best defensive performance in program history. The Hatters gave up just seven scores to Kennesaw State in their first ever victory, a 19-7 triumph last season.
Colorado finished the game with 25 shots to Stetson's 15, but the ground balls and draw controls were very even. The Buffs led 15-12 in ground balls, and just 10-8 in draw controls. Colorado took advantage of their free positions, finishing 4-of-7. Stetson was unsuccessful on all three free-position shots.
O'Sullivan led the Hats with two goals, the fifth multi-score game of her career. Akl, meanwhile, had a team high three assists, her third time with three or more helpers since the start of last season.
Freshmen Julia Lozano and Lindsay Summers added goals for the Hatters, while sophomore Danielle Horgan recorded the final Stetson assist.
Sophomore Caili Guilday made 10 saves, playing all 60 minutes in goal for the Hatters. She also led Stetson with four ground balls and caused one turnover.
Freshman Sam Maguire led the Hatters with three draw controls, Summers had three ground balls, and sophomore Rachel Dumas finished with a team high three caused turnovers.
Stetson will continue its five-game home stand on Friday, February 21. The Hatters host Cincinnati at 5:00 p.m. at the Athletic Training Center.

NORTH JACKSON - The combination of inexperience and first game jitters led to a 29-19 season-opening loss by Southern Local at Jackson-Milton on Thursday night.
The Indians committed 35 turnovers and only hit on 17 percent from the field, including 0-for-7 from three-point range as they were not able to get any offensive attack consistency.
"I think our first game jitters kind of got to us a little bit there early," Indians coach Cory Leek admitted. "We started a freshman tonight and a sophomore that hasn't played a lot of varsity. We had another sophomore in there at guard. So I think our youth there at the guard spot hurt us there a little bit."

The Indians grabbed the lead to start the contest as Kati Hipsley hit a jumper, and Rachel Coil added another basket in the first period as the Indians held a 4-3 advantage following one stanza of play. However, in the second period the Jays started pulling away as they went on a 11-5 run to hold 15-9 lead at intermission.
"Only down six at halftime, I'm really pleased we only gave up 29-points," Leek said. "These guys scored 58 points the other night and we only gave up 29 tonight. If we can do that night in and night out, I think we can have a good shot at winning games."
Both teams struggled terribly in the third period to get any thing going. The two squads combined for 19 turnovers and only scored a combined six points. The Jays held a 19-11 lead after three periods.
Fact Box
J-Milton 29, Southern 19
SL (19): Sarah Phillis 1 0-0 2, Kati Hipsley 2 4-8 6, Emily Jenkins 1 0-0 2, Rahcel Coil 2 3-6 7, Lisa Higgins 0 0-0 0, Beckah Phillis 0 0-2 0, Brittany Weber 0 0-0 0, Natalie Utt 0 0-0 0. Totals: 6 7-16 19.
JM (29): Rebecca Jones 2 0-3 4, Zaire Sahli 2 0- 24, Gabrielle Tharp 0 0-0 0, Brittany Schnellbach 0 1-4 1, Paige Kiraly 2 0-0 4, Beth Ritchie 0 0-0 0, Maggie Oblinger 3 2-2 8, Madison Tomaino 4 0-0 8. Totals: 13 3-11 29.
Jackson-Milton would continue to stretch its advantage as it lead by as much as 15 points with only 1:57 remaining in the contest. The Indians would make a last minute 5-0 run as Hipsley would convert on three free throws and add field goal to cut the final margin down to the ten point difference.
"There big inside, and our game plan is to get the ball to Rachel, and that's going to open up the stuff outside so Kati can get going outside," Leek said. "With their size it was difficult for us. Their press really changed the game. When they started pressing we turned the ball over."
Hipsley led the Indians with eight points on the night, while Coil chipped in seven points. Emily Jenkins and Sarah Phillis each added two points respectively.
"We got the win, but it was very sloppy," Blue Jays coach Pat Keney remarked. "We've got a lot of things we need to improve on to have a good season. We got the win, don't get me wrong, I'm happy, but we got a lot of things we need to improve on."
The Indians will be in action again Monday night when they host the American Spirit Academy.

WELLSVILLE - What began with a call to the Wellsville Fire Department for a vehicle fire has turned into a police investigation of an assault and suspected drug activity.
Firefighters were called to the home of Josh Hackney and Jodi Long at 305 18th St., at 5:21 a.m. on Christmas Day. Upon arrival, they found a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer parked in the driveway engulfed in flames. The fire was brought under control before it could spread to the house, but a pair of nearby trees were scorched.
Although the fire was out by 6:30 a.m., an accusation that it had been deliberately set would lead to a spasm of violence at another Wellsville residence.
Wellsville Police were dispatched to Lincoln Avenue home of Roxanna Corbisello at 3:55 p.m. for an assault. According to the police report, officers found Corbisello's son, R.D. McCauley, beaten and lying on the floor inside the house. McCauley told police he had been to the home of Hackney and Long, where he was met by Daryl and Joe Blake. The Blake brothers accused him of stealing their drugs and setting fire to their Trailblazer, prompting them to assault him.
McCauley alleged that Hackney told the Blake brothers that McCauley had burned their vehicle and stolen the missing drugs. In turn, McCauley blamed Hackney for the theft and fire.
Officers went to the home of Hackney and Long, and spoke to Long. She told police she didn't know where the Blake brothers were, but also admitted they had told her to tell anyone asking about them that she didn't know their whereabouts. Although what actually transpired in still under investigation, Wellsville Police Lt. Ed Wilson said Hackney's neighbors on 18th Street suspect that drug transactions have been taking place at the residence.
Citing concerns about the couple's children in relation to the fire, violence and drugs, police contacted Columbiana County Jobs and Family Services. Wilson said it is unknown if the children were removed from the home.

Nintendo's 3DS has had a rocky start since its
launch in March 2011. Sales were nothing short of unimpressive, and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata even
noted that a poor launch lineup was to blame.
Only four months after the 3DS' release, Nintendo reported poor first-quarter
earnings and believed the disappointing 3DS sales were partially the problem.
To remedy this, Nintendo slashed the portable system's price from
$249.99 to $169.99 starting August 12.
The plan worked. Nintendo 3DS sales skyrocketed in Japan, selling 215,000 units
between August 8 and 14. This was a victory for Nintendo, considering the fact
that only 109,000 3DS units were sold in Japan through the entire month of May
in comparison.
Now, Nintendo is keeping its focus on how to continue improving the handheld,
and will do so through two new announcements: an external second circle pad
add-on, and a completely new model due in 2012.
According to French site 01Net, Nintendo is developing a detachable second circle
pad for the 3DS. Nintendo reportedly regretted not having two analogue sticks
included in the system's launch in March, and said that the production of the
3DS was "rushed" in order to beat the PlayStation Vita.
Engineers at Nintendo are working on the peripheral as we speak, and will sell
for approximately $10. In addition, developers are working on titles to suit
the add-on.
While it is unclear when the attachment will be available, the report did know
of a new 3DS system available in 2012. The new system may not even be a
"3DS" anymore, since it will supposedly "tone down" the 3D
features significantly.
But before Nintendo launches another system, it needs to focus on an issue with
its dev kits, according to 01Net. Third parties are becoming
frustrated with Nintendo because it is only making 300 kits per month, and
there is an extensive waiting list.

quote: And i think that's another reason and probably the main reason it sold poorly at that price,people just thought it was a DS with 3D and that's Nintendo s fault for not separating it from the DS.
quote: Well, technically speaking the 3DS is a substantial jump in processing power from the DS. Developers worked around this and made some decent products with the sub n64 components, but it isn't nearly as powerful as the 3DS, which is slightly more powerful than the wii.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Huntingdon coach Jon Mykut has been stressing the importance of maintaining aggressiveness and tenacity for the entire match to his wrestlers.
Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore said that's a lesson that many of his wrestlers still need to learn.
Huntingdon was strong from start to finish Thursday night, registering seven falls and a technical fall en route to a 62-16 win over the Golden Tigers in a dual meet held at the Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School gymnasium.

Huntingdon's Jon Wagner works on a pin of Hollidaysburg's Luciano Toscano.
"We've been preaching in the practice room to come out and wrestle aggressively, and the guys came out and did that tonight,'' Mykut said. "We got off to a real good start.''
Huntingdon built a 30-0 lead after the first five bouts and never looked back. Junior Nathan Russell got the ball rolling for the Bearcats (3-1) by using a cradle to record a 32-second fall over Colton Walls in the first bout of the night at 132. Freshman Jon Wagner followed with another cradle-fall over Luciano Toscano in 3:03 at 138, and junior Eric Lynn took a forfeit victory at 145 to give Huntingdon an 18-0 lead.
Freshman Logan Fisher pinned Caleb Walls in 3:13 at 152, and sophomore Matt Norris shook off surrendering an opening takedown at 160 to rack up an 8-2 lead before pinning Jacob Wolk 42 seconds into the third period for the 30-0 Huntingdon advantage.
"Norris kept his composure, and picked it up,'' Mykut said. "He didn't let the match get away from him. We're young, with four freshmen and two sophomores in the lineup. Each time we step on the mat, it's a learning experience. We've just got to keep getting better.''
Hollidaysburg dropped to 1-2 despite a 69-second fall from senior 285-pounder Matt Barton and a 42-second fall from junior Damian Huff at 113. Huff (now 10-1 this season) was a PIAA Class AAA state tournament qualifier last March, and Barton (10-2 this year) came within one win of qualifying for the state tournament.
Hollidaysburg's only other win Thursday was a 9-0 major decision by senior Ian Bilofsky over Ian Kidd at 170.
"Barton and Huff are experienced wrestlers,'' said Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore, whose team dropped to 1-2 in dual meets. "They've been in the big tournaments, and we're counting on them to lead the rest of our team. Hopefully, they can influence some of our other wrestlers to fight through some situations in some of their matches.''
According to Moore, that lack of fight has been a troubling sticking point for many of Hollidaysburg's wrestlers this season.
"We've just got to get tougher in some of the gray areas of matches,'' Moore said. "We're not there yet.''
It hasn't been a question of effort, Moore stressed. It's been a matter of sustaining fight - something that Huntingdon did quite well Thursday.
"There's no question that the effort has been there,'' Moore said. "All of our wrestlers work hard in practice, and they focus. They know all about proper wrestling technique. It's just been a matter that, when some of our kids get into those gray areas that take a little bit of toughness to come out on top, we don't battle through those spots.''
After Bilofsky's major decision got Hollidaysburg on the scoreboard, Huntingdon got falls from senior Hunter Ruppert (182), junior Mitchell Lauer (195), and freshman Collin Glorioso (106), along with a technical fall from junior Devon Green to finish the match at 126.
Senior Tyler Wholaver took a forfeit victory at 220 for Huntingdon, while Bearcats' junior Matt Wilson carved out a 7-2 decision over Mark Kociola at 120.
Huntingdon will participate in the Juniata duals this Saturday at Juniata High School.
"All of our guys wrestled well tonight,'' Mykut said. "We were solid from top to bottom, and we'll have to keep up that level of intensity Saturday, when we will wrestle five matches at the Juniata duals.''
Meet notes: Huntingdon also controlled the takedown count, 20-6 ... Hollidaysburg is idle until next Tuesday night, when the Golden Tigers host Jersey Shore in a match that will be held at the Hollidaysburg Area Junior High School gymnasium.

Did she or didn't she?
On Monday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle and Kim Richards claimed that Lisa Vanderpump "fake-fainted" while training with partner Gleb Savchenko on last season's Dancing with the Stars.
"Some people just aren't cut out for fake faints," said former child star Kim, 49, who joined her sister at her home to watch Vanderpump, 53, dance on the show. Instead, they watched her collapse dramatically to the floor while in the midst of rehearsal.
"Lisa wanted out," said Kyle, 44, who has been feuding with her former friend.
While Kim may not need an acting coach to teach her to faint, she did need a dog trainer to help her with her troublesome pooch, Kingsley.
"He's eaten thousands of dollars of shoes," she said, before turning emotional. "This has been a transition time in my sobriety, and this dog has been there for me. People come and go, but my dog is always there."
The same could be said for David Foster, the Grammy-winning music producer, who stood by wife Yolanda H. Foster as she battled Lyme disease.
"I think Lyme disease showed me I could be a good husband," said David, who accompanied his wife to the hospital where she had a port removed from her heart.
"I was losing brain function," revealed Yolanda, 49. "[With Lyme disease,] you look great from the outside, but you're dying on the inside."
Meanwhile, Brandi Glanville moved into her new home with the help of her mother.
"No matter how old you are, you always need your mommy," the 40-year-old said. "My mom is everyone's rock."
Kyle Richards had the two newest housewives – former Miss Puerto Rico Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia – over for lunch, while Vanderpump, who is in the midst of opening a new gay bar, PUMP, hosted Glanville and Foster.
Both groups served up gossip as the main dish.
Foster didn't hold back when she was asked about her status with Richards. "I'm not in a better place with the woman who called me a liar," she said. "She really doesn't have any girlfriends."
At Richards's outdoor lunch, the killing of a bee had self-proclaimed witch Gebbia, 40, buzzing. She felt the insect should have been relocated rather than squashed.
"Why would you do such an awful thing?" Gebbia asked.
"I'm a bee-murderer accomplice," joked Richards, who is allergic to bees.
But when Giraud, 38, began telling the ladies about how she met her husband, it was Gebbia who delivered some stinging words.
"The story's been going on for a while, and I'm wondering when we're going to get to the end of it," she said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

WVBs Hayley Benson Named Academic All-MAC
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Ball State women's volleyball redshirt sophomore middle blocker Hayley Benson (Hilliard, Ohio/Hilliard Bradley) has been named to the 21-member Academic All-Mid-American Conference Volleyball Team as announced this afternoon by the league office.
A business major with a 3.871 grade-point average entering the fall semester, Benson earns Academic All-MAC honors for the first time in her career. She played in all 32 matches for the Cardinals this past season, making 31 starts. Benson ranked third in the MAC with a .353 attack percentage, while blasting double-digit kills in 11 matches, including a career-high 17 versus Toledo (Nov. 7).
An All-MAC First Team selection, Benson also racked up a Ball State rally scoring era record 14 total blocks versus SMU (Sept. 21), with career highs of five solo blocks and nine block assists. She hit .350-or-better in 15 of Ball State's 32 matches, helping guide the Cardinals to a 24-8 overall record and a share of the MAC West Division Title.
Over the course of the 2013 season, Benson was also named MAC West Division Offensive Player of the Week (Nov.5), MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 23), to the College of Charleston Holiday Inn Classic All-Tournament Team and to the USF All-Tournament Team.
To earn Academic All-MAC status, a student-athlete must excel in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and participate in at least 50 percent of the contests for their particular sport. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the award.

Angela Ridgel earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Marshall University in 2000 and is now Assistant Professor at Kent State University. She started studying walking in insects and robots in Dr. Sasha Zill's lab (and as a postdoc at Case Western), but is now conducting research on walking in patients with Parkinson's disease. She has found that they benefit greatly from intense exercise.
Her work was recognized and is featured on the cover of Kent State's online magazine and on MSNBC. It currently can be found by clicking the links below:

Ever wondered about the ways Lowcountry folk controlled insects, stored food, kept warm and met other household needs during the 18th and 19th centuries? Well, a walk through the storage area of the Charleston Museum would provide the answers.
To donate or visit
Donations: To offer the museum items for preservation, contact Grahame Long, curator of history, at 722-2996.
Location: 360 Meeting St.
Tickets: $10, adults and $5 children, 3 to 12 (under 3, free); $16, museum and Joseph Manigault House or Heyward-Washington House; $22, adults to visit all three properties.
For more information on exhibits and tickets: visit www.charlestonmuseum.org.
In the cavernous spaces of "America's First Museum," out of sight to visitors, are items used for such purposes. Unless they are chosen by a curator for an exhibit, these functional pieces, some older than the 1773 museum itself, rarely see the light of day.
"Every time I think I've seen everything, something else comes through the door," says Grahame Long, the museum's history curator. "It can be amazing. Many of the furniture pieces are as solid as they day they were built."
While most of these fascinating objects are in storage, a few are being exhibited in the main museum, and its Joseph Manigault and Heyward-Washington houses.
Pictured on this page and on Page D4 are some Charleston Museum treasures that help the museum staff to carry out its mission — preserving and interpreting the cultural and natural history of Charleston and the Lowcountry.
Other museum pieces:
Carriage warmer: Made about 1840, has an American origin and was used by James H. Blackhurst of Charleston.
Earthenware foot warmer: 1870's foot warmer was filled with boiling water and corked to provide warmth in bedrooms. The object, decorated with the imprint of two feet, was found in the attic of a Montague Street house during a 1918 renovation.
Triple chest: Typically was used when traveling between plantations and townhouses. The three sections can be split into individual travel trunks. Most got a lot of wear and only four are known to exist today. This one has undergone extensive restoration.
Sugar chest: Walnut and yellow pine chest, used to store sugar, was made in the South Carolina backcountry around 1800.
pottery jars: Pottery jars, such as those made by slaves in Edgefield, were used for pickling, salting meat and storing lard. Among the most famous to make them was a slave named Dave who wrote "This noble jar has four handles. Pack it full of fresh meat. Then light the candles" on one of his jars.
Stoneware table coasters: Such double dishes were placed under dining table legs and filled with water. Crawling insects trying to make their way up to the food would drown. These were made in Edgefield County about 1850.
Reach Wevonneda Minis at 937-5705.
brazier: This large brass brazier, which included a pan or stand to hold lit coals and provide warmth indoors, dates back to the 1700s.×
Grahame Long, curator, opening "necessary chair" used before there was indoor plumbing. Leroy Burnell/postandcourier.com 9/24/2013×
Mortician's bench (home cooling table): The dead would be placed on a bench such as this one, which is American-made and dates from about 1870, during home funerals. It consists of wood and split-cane, with iron hinges and pulls, and folds so the mortician could carry it easily. Ice would be packed under the bench to keep the body fresher.×
Mahogany cheese coaster: Coasters such as this one, made in the early to mid-1700s, were rolled on small casters around dining tables to serve cheese. This one was used by the Ball Family at Middleburg Plantation.×
"Necessary chair": Grahame Long displays a mahogany and white pine commode, which dates from the late 1700s and probably is Charleston-made. It conceals a chamber pot and is displayed at the museum's Joseph Manigault House.An actual chair serving the same purpose, in the Colonial federal-style, also is part of the museum's collection.×
Fly fan: This fly fan is wound manually to swivel its fabric paddles and shoo flying insects away. This steel and iron one, made by the Baltimore Enameling & Stamp Co. during the 1890s, was used at the Confederate Home on Broad Street. Its wings can be folded up when the fan is not being used.×
Whale oil lamps: Wicks soaked in whale oil from the animal's blubber were widely used for lighting fuel into the late 1800s. These lamps were made during the late 1700s. Kerosene eventually replaced whale oil as the illuminant of choice.×

What is syncope?
Syncope is temporary loss of consciousness and posture, described as "fainting" or "passing out." It's usually related to temporary insufficient blood flow to the brain. It most often occurs when the blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump a normal supply of oxygen to the brain.
What causes syncope?
It may be caused by emotional stress, pain, pooling of blood in the legs due to sudden changes in body position, overheating, dehydration, heavy sweating or exhaustion. Syncope may occur during violent coughing spells (especially in men) because of rapid changes in blood pressure. It also may result from several heart, neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic and lung disorders. And it may be a side effect of some medicines.
- those occurring with exercise
- those associated with palpitations or irregularities of the heart
- those associated with family history of recurrent syncope or sudden death
What is neurally mediated syncope?
Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is called also neurocardiogenic, vasovagal, vasodepressor or reflex mediated syncope. It's a benign (and the most frequent) cause of fainting. However, life-threatening conditions may also manifest as syncope. NMS is more common in children and young adults, although it can occur at any age. NMS happens because blood pressure drops, reducing circulation to the brain and causing loss of consciousness. Typical NMS occurs while standing and is often preceded by a sensation of warmth, nausea, lightheadedness and visual "grayout." If the syncope is prolonged, it can trigger a seizure. Placing the person in a reclining position will restore blood flow and consciousness and end the seizure.
AHA Recommendation
The majority of children and young adults with syncope have no structural heart disease or significant arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). So, extensive medical work-up is rarely needed. A careful physical examination by a physician, including blood pressure and heart rate measured lying and standing, is generally the only evaluation required.

We polled our top teams and heard one resounding request in a paintball pant "less weight, more venting, same great protection." New from Empire for 2012 are lighter, less constricting Contact Zero paintball pants designed to help keep you cool, comfortable and unimpeded in the heat and humidity of the season. Plenty of mesh ventilation at the front and rear of the pant encourages massive air movement and helps wick moisture away. Adjustable ankles and waist allow for a truly custom fit while plenty of knee padding keeps you safe no matter how hard you slide in.
