PROVIDENCE ã Whenever a new face enters into the Providence College vs. URI discussion, it seems appropriate to inquire as to whether said participant understands the hubbub surrounding this annual intrastate hoops encounter.
In Dan Hurleyãs case, Rhodyãs first-year coach requires no introduction to rivalry games. When he played at Seton Hall in the early ã90s, Hurley considered Syracuse, Georgetown and St. Johnãs among the Piratesã chief competition. Hurley also felt the heat whenever older brother and Rams assistant coach Bobby took the floor with Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and the rest of his Duke teammates against North Carolina ã arguably college basketballãs most intense rivalry.
Told what separates PC-URI from Duke-North Carolina or Seton Hall-St. Johnãs is that itãs a non-conference encounter that seemingly stretches beyond how the players fare and what the final score reads, Dan Hurley spoke in terms that makes one believe he has a firm grasp of whatãs in store come Thursday night at the Dunkinã Donuts Center.
ãWe have close to 50,000 living alumni in the state and Providence obviously has tremendous support,ã said Hurley. ãI got the vibe from fans [regarding the spice surrounding the stateãs most important annual sporting event] back in April. Obviously itãs a game thatãs important to the state, one featuring two teams that are going to play with a lot of intensity.
ãA lot of stuff goes out the window when you play rivals,ã Hurley continued.
Perhaps the most central figure in Hurleyãs camp as far as the electricity surrounding the Friars and Rams meeting on the hardwood is Preston Murphy. As a URI player from 1995-99, Murphy has four games to draw upon, particularly the fond memories that accompanied Rhode Island defeating Providence during his sophomore and junior years.
ãEveryone in this state has a horse in the race,ã remarked Murphy, the onetime boysã basketball coach at Woonsocket High School. ãDuring my junior year [1997-98], we played a lot of our games at the (then-named Providence) Civic Center, so it was almost like a shared facility. From the standpoint of having the home-court advantage, you may have more Rhody fans down in front and more visible, so that was always good.ã
If youãre a coach at Providence, youãre gearing up your players to face URIãs Xavier Munford, Nikola Malesevic, Andre Malone and Mike Powell. Likewise with Ramsã coaches, the focus is on key Friar contributors LaDontae Henton and Kadeem Batts while wondering if Bryce Cottonãs knee will cooperate and allow Providenceãs leading scorer to suit up.
As Murphy pointed out, thereãs another factor for coaches and players alike to keep in mind. While the Friars and Rams have each been tested in varying degrees thus far in non-conference play, neither side has played inside a building where sparks bounce off the walls and just about every seat is accounted for.
ãWeãve played against some high-level teams, and I think that definitely helps us heading into PC,ã affirmed Murphy.
Added Hurley, ãWe played at Auburn but that wasnãt a raucous crowd. Weãve played neutral site games at Mohegan Sun against Ohio State and Seton Hall, but (going to The Dunk) will be a true road game. You hope that will bring out the best in your guys.ã
While Hurley will go through his PC vs. URI baptism-by-fire for the first time come Thursday, his coaching counterpart on the Friarsã bench has had the fortune of having grown up around these parts and coached on both sides. To Ed Cooley, what stands out is that PC-URI always seems to bring out the very best in the participants.
ãItãs a game thatãs been played before us and will be played after us, which is why itãs significant to the state and why weãll approach it as any other game with the understanding that thereãs a lot of importance on it,ã said Cooley, who was a Rhody assistant coach in 1996-97. ãThe game coaches itself.ã

Lindsay Lohan to guest star on 'Glee'
March 28, 2012 - 02:38 pm
Just over three weeks after her questionable comeback on SNL, Lindsay Lohan will guest star on "Glee".
Lohan will play herself as a celebrity judge at a contest towards the end of the season.
Ironically, back in 2010, Lohan was the butt of the joke on "Glee" as Gwyneth Paltrow's character made fun of her stints in rehab, according to Reuters.com.
Lohan has also landed the role of playing Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming TV movie, according to Reuters.com. Lohan could possibly have her probation formally lifted at the end of this week for her arrest in 2007 for cocaine possession and drunk driving.

They don't seem devastated. I think, instead, they have some confidence in themselves. They know they had this game. Hopefully this will turn into a positive for us.

The ending was disappointing, but if you ask every basketball coach in the U.S. what they would have done.....about half would foul, and the other half would take their chances with the 3 point shot. Personally, I think the foul would have worked, but I can also see the other side. Foul......and there is a chance you could lose the game with the right circumstances. Take a chance on them hitting a 3 and the worse that can happen is you go to OT. I wish CFH had chosen to foul, but I can't fault him too much because I thought the rest of his game plan was brilliant. Starting Niang, and Niang playing well somewhat reduced the effectiveness of Withey. At the end, I just wish Babb had been assigned on a man to man on McLemore and stuck to him like a dirty shirt. He was just too hot last night to leave to a random player guarding him. He was 10/12 and 7/7 at the line. Not someone you want to get the last shot off.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
Fred Hoiberg ruined my life last night. I didn't expect him to instruct his players to foul, because he has a huge ego for being right all the time. What I was expecting was coach to run onto the floor and commit the foul himself. I'm tired of his act. The guy is truly over his head. If he had any type of brain in that thick head of his, he will start taking coaching advice from the vast pool of CF coaches.
Originally Posted by BigBake And apparently Bill Self who said he wouldn't have fouled. I'm sure he SAID that, this idea by the other teams coaches won him a national championship when Memphis failed to do so. Also, you really think he's going to call our Hoiberg on this after the game? We know it was the wrong call when Fred called himself out and said his plan backfired, which was awesome to hear as he's willing to step up and face the music. That was good enough for me, ready to move on and be better.
OP stained his drawers with a big load of fail and it's running down his leg now.
Remember, you're unique. Just like everyone else.
It is on Fred that we didn't foul up 3 with 10 seconds remaining. But it's also on Lucious for missing the front end of the 1-and-1, Niang for fouling out, Babb and Lucious for not hitting just one more 3, and everyone on the floor with 10 seconds left for forgetting how to play defense, allowing the 3 pointer to be shot openly. Conversely, it is also on Fred for coming up with a gameplan that had us within 2 seconds of beating KU on their court, which wod have snapped countless streaks in the process, Niang for being the first freshman since who knows when that wasn't intimidated by the Phog and had one hell of a game, Lucious and Babb for being straight up freaks last night, and the defense making KU look bad much of the evening, especially during the second half drought. KU simply doesn't lose on its home court, and it was going to take a perfect game to do so. They played a near-perfect game and that was ultimately the difference. I know a lot of people don't believe in moral victories - you either won or lost and the discussion ends there. That simply isn't the case in college basketball, especially taking KU to overtime on the road. The selection committee gives far too much credit to quality losses to just completely discount moral victories. Granted, winning at KU would have done much more for tournament respect, but last night will go a long way to getting us in the tournament and increasing our seed.

Not a fan of the "Blame Game".
Paul Rhoads' players never quit.
The collective IQ on this board has sunk even lower..... Good grief.
Originally Posted by BigBake Yep, he could have fouled with 8 secs, KU makes both throws, down 1, steals ball on inbounds, makes easy layup and then win in regulation. I would have preferred Babb/McGee defending that last screen by going over the top and not under giving up an easy look at the basket for three but hey, feel free to blame a guy not on the court. This is exactly right. Say we foul with 7 seconds left. All they need to do is sink BOTH free throws with the clock stopped and foul us instantly on the inbounds pass. Now we're only up 1 with two insanely pressure packed free throws coming up, 6 seconds on the clock. Even if we make both free throws, we are right back where we started... up 3. Heaven forbid we miss one or both free throws. If we miss one we CANNOT foul and KU is getting the last shot to win instead of overtime. The dude made a freaking banked three...
To say it is Fred's fault is unfair. You must also consider that he is the reason that the boys are even competing at such a high level in the first place. Hindsight is always 20/20, and looking back it seems as if he made a mistake.
McLemore for Three! | Facebook looking at the play again, Babb and McGee switched too late. In the press conference, Hoiberg said that they were suppose to switch and worked on it. Mental lapse that cost the game, not Hoiberg.

Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement
In 2010, Huntington City-Township Public Library and Wells Co. Public Library signed a Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement that allows card holders from either library to use both library systems. Contact us for more information.
If you live in the city of Huntington and/or Huntington Township and/or the town of Markle, you qualify for a "free" library card with us! "Free" is in quotes because it's not actually free — you pay for it in your taxes as a resident of the city of Huntington, Huntington Township or the town of Markle. This is why anyone not living in these areas must purchase their card.
Applicants for a Huntington-City Township Public Library card must present the required Proper Identification in person at the library that will issue the library card (see below for definition of Proper Identification). People who own property within the city of Huntington, Huntington Township, or the town of Markle, but who reside elsewhere, will be required to show proof of real property ownership, such as a tax bill or deed.
Signing a Huntington City-Township Public Library card denotes acceptance of responsibility for all fines and fees and for payment for lost or damaged materials. Patrons are advised to contact their library to report a lost or stolen library card, as failure to do so holds the patron responsible for any fines and fees incurred by a lost or stolen library card.
Registering a minor for a Huntington City-Township Public Library card denotes an acknowledgement and understanding by the parent or guardian that the library owns and circulates unrated videos, DVD's and television series that may be geared toward a more mature audience. A minor child will have access to materials for both adults and children and will be able to check out any of these materials. Parents or guardians have sole responsibility for helping their child select age-appropriate materials.
Proper Identification must be presented to apply for a Huntington City-Township/Markle Public Library card. Proper Identification is any one of the following:
- A valid Indiana Driver's License which displays a current address
- A valid Indiana State ID which displays a current address
- A current government issued Photo ID
If the patron presents current ID but that ID does not have the patron's current address, the patron must in addition present a form of approved identification showing the current address. Approved Identification can be any of the following:
- Valid voter registration card
- Valid current government issued ID (such as a military ID, a passport, etc.)
- Bank statement issued within the past thirty (30) days
- Utility bill issued within the past thirty (30) days
- Property Tax receipt
Fines for most late items are 10 cents per day. Late DVDs are $1 per day late.

The state Division of Natural Resources will stock 25 streams and nine lakes with more than 32,000 pounds of fish beginning Tuesday.
Stocking will begin Oct. 15 and continue until Oct. 25. A list of lakes and streams to be stocked by date will be available on the DNR's website starting Tuesday.
Fortunately for anglers, only one facility may not be stocked this season because of the government shutdown, despite some of the lakes and streams being on or near federal property.
Only Rock Cliff Lake in Hardy County will not be stocked if the government shutdown doesn't end in the next two weeks.
"If the shutdown stops, we'll be able to stock it," said Curtis Taylor, DNR Wildlife Resources chief.
Taylor said the only access to Rock Cliff Lake is via a road and campground that are currently closed due to the government shutdown.
The only alternative would be for DNR employees to physically carry buckets of fish one-half mile to and from the nearest open point on the road and the lake, an action Taylor said he's not making employees take.

Mary's Monday Metazoan: I feel an urge to buy a pink suit
8 comments
Menyambal --- making sambal a food group.
I managed to get a hermit crab out of his shell, one time. I had picked him up to look at him, and let him grip my thumbnail. I pulled on his shell with the other hand, and he refused to let go of my thumbnail. The body that came out was very disturbing, somehow, pale and shaped like a grub. When I put the shell down and lowered him next to it, he turned loose and popped back in. Weird.
A cousin of his got revenge on me, for what it's worth. I had collected some nice seashells off the beach, and left them next to the sink in my hotel room. I was gonna rinse the sand off them, but decided to go eat. When I got back, late and tired, I flipped on the light, and one of the shells went scuttling for cover. I hadn't had anything to drink, but for a second there, I thought I was staggering. So I caught the hermit crab, and went staggering back to the beach to turn him loose. I suppose I could have kept him in the room overnight, but the thought of that creepy pale body inside the shell was too much for me.
I am amused. though I can't imagine buying a pink suit, despite owning a pink-striped Winchester shirt.
Nick Gotts
As a slaphead, I'm more interested in acquiring one of those nice anemones – but of course it would need to be able to survive out of water.
Menyambal (et al.) — if you're interested in hermit crabs, you need to read the back pages of "Wanderin' Weeta". The author keeps a saltwater aquarium with organisms of the northwest coast, and has a real gift for observing their behavior, in words and photos. Look for the time she noted how hermits communicate with each other when one outgrows its shell and covets the one another is wearing; later, this observation paid off when she needed to communicate with a hermit.
Vasha, #7;
Thanks for the good words, and the link. The hermits talking to each other is in this post; Eviction notice, and the second is Tap-talking to Patience.

Village Videos and the Cultural Politics of Media in Rural, Ethnic China
A talk by JENNY CHIO (China Research Centre, University of Technology, Sydney)
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
University of Southern California
In rural
Unlike more recent, well-publicized rural video projects led by urban academics and filmmakers in China, the village videos addressed in this talk are created and consumed wholly in local terms, by local individuals for local audiences in the predominantly Miao region of southeast Guizhou. Village videos are significant both in terms of understanding mainstream Chinese desires for images of the Miao and the consumption of visual representations of ethnic identity. The processes of cultural production and cultural consumption are complicated in the case of village videos, where rural, ethnic peoples and communities utilize visual media as a means for asserting agency and belonging in national and international networks. Thus, village videos are a crucial site for exploring shifting loci of power at work in visualizing, and imagining, ethnic identity.

when you're a program that's ineligible to play in the big dance because of academic reasons, its a good idea to sign a player who's been to 3 high schools and was academically inegible part of his senior year.
UCONN is a huge name in college basketball, it is not surprising that kids still want to go there. It is just like Ohio State or USC in football, post-season bans don't matter to all players and when you have the big name you can still get top talent.
"But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know." - David Brent
I'm not sure Nolan will be great. Big name, but he's had a strange HS bball career. Nevertheless, decent get for UConn - with the trouble and uncertainty they are facing.
I think Nolan could be very similar to Eric McKnight. Late signee. Recruited based off potential.
UCONN will need 10 years of irrelevancy before they'll stop getting big name recruits

Day 26 news & notes (updated)
*The Orioles have optioned left-handed pitcher Tim Berry and catcher Michael Ohlman to Double-A Bowie and reassigned catcher Brian Ward to Minor League camp. They now have 53 players at major league spring training, including 15 non-roster invitees.
Manager Buck Showalter was particularly impressed by Berry, who was protected on the 40-man roster this winter, and will be part of the Baysox rotation.
"Very intriguing what the future may hold for him," Showalter said. "I think it's going to be a big year for Berry. I think he's got a chance to really pop."
There will probably be two or three more cuts on Tuesday.
*Alexi Casilla (hamstring) is "real close" to being able to play and tomorrow is a "possibility" for him to get into the game.
*Bud Norris and Kevin Gausman will pitch in Thursday's game on the road against the Yankees.
*The plan is for Adam Jones to play in Tuesday's game and then fly to his fiancee, who will induce labor on the couple's first child.
*Lefty Zach Britton is well aware of the Ervin Santana rumors, but the 25-year-old lefty —who is vying for a rotation spot this spring— isn't letting the team's possible acquisitions change his approach.
"I haven't really looked into any of the stuff," said Britton, who is out of options and could also be a bullpen guy if he doesn't make the rotation "If we sign another guy, we sign another guy. That's been my mindset. I know when I'm healthy and I'm pitching the way I am, I can compete with anybody that we sign. Whether I get the opportunity to do that, it's out of my control. But just go out there and put on a good showing and hopefully I've got an opportunity on this team and kind of go from there."
Britton has given up one run in six spring innings and said after Sunday's game this is the best he's felt in years.
"When a quality hitter swings and misses the sinker, that's a pretty good sinker, especially at 93-95 [mph]," manager Buck Showalter said. "He's been sharp. I'm excited with how he's doing. Hopefully, he's following the same path as another guy [Chris Tillman] who was out of options last spring.
Britton, who would almost certainly be claimed off waivers if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster, credits his offseason work and new mindset for his performance so far in spring. While there's still progress to be made, the lefty is encouraged with where he's at in the second week of March.
"A lot of the focus has just gone toward what I can do on the field to be successful and stopped worrying about signings that we do or roster decisions," he said. "The focus is now completely out on the field and out on that mound and how can I improve and better myself this year."

Duquette: I really don't know what's real and what's not real in that case
SARASOTA, Fla.— Will the Orioles be the team to sign free agent pitcher Ervin Santana?
If Baltimore —rumored to be one of the final teams in the running along with Toronto— is going to end up with the right-hander, executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette wasn't going to tip his hand.
"I don't really know," Duquette said of if he had a sense Santana would sign somewhere in the next day or two. "I really don't. I really don't know what's real and what's not real in that case."
Duquette did acknowledge that the Orioles —who have been very active this spring— could continue that trend, perhaps independent of a Santana signing.
"Our roster construction goes on all year," he said. "We have some more resources that we can invest in our team and we'll take a look at each case as it comes up."
If the Orioles do end up with Santana, they have reportedly offered him a one-year deal similar to the $14 million on the table from Toronto, it would crowd their rotation and almost certainly mean a trade of either Bud Norris or Zach Britton. But Duquette mentioned several times that organization also feels confident in what they already have.
"I would say that we're going to weed through the guys we have and see where that takes us," he said. "We're going to continue to evaluate the pitchers we have in camp."
"We do have a little more pitching depth with our starting pitching going into the season and some of the young pitchers we have high hopes for are continuing to develop their skills. [Kevin] Gausman looked pretty good last night. [Dylan] Bundy is on track. We still have T.J. McFarland and Zach Britton to look at.
News & notes Day 25 (updated)
Greetings from Ed Smith Stadium, where the Orioles will take on the Pirates.
*The Orioles have reassigned three guys to Minor League camp: infielder Chris Marrero and pitchers Mike Wright and Fabio Castillo.
*No news on Ervin Santana, who is still weighing one-year offers of similar value from both Toronto and Baltimore. (You can read EVP Dan Duquuette's comments here.) It's impossible to handicap which team has the edge, although several Orioles joked this morning it shouldn't be close if the right-hander wants to win. If Santana did come to Baltimore, it would almost certainly mean the team would make a trade with some of their pitching depth before Opening Day.
*Manny Machado will see the doctor on March 18 and he said this morning he expects to start sliding before he gets re-evaluated. Machado –who expects base running to be one of the biggest hurdles to cross– could be cleared for game action at that appointment, although even if he is he could start slow such as sim games or going to the Minor League complex.
*Miguel Gonzalez, who was hit with a liner during Friday's game, will throw 15-20 pitches today to test his left shin. He called it a "touch and feel" session.

News and notes Day 22 (game cancelled)
The Orioles and Rays game on Thursday afternoon has been cancelled due to inclement weather and will not be made up.
Fans holding paid tickets for today's game may exchange them for any remaining home spring games subject to availability or obtain a refund. Additionally, the scheduled OriolesREACH Food Drive to benefit All Faiths Food Bank will now by held Thursday, March 27 at 7:05 p.m. ET against the Rays.
Baltimore is coming off a pair of road night games and it's unknown how much this will alter the club's pitching schedule, starter Miguel Gonzalez in particular. Rays ace David Price, who was originally scheduled to come, threw a simulated game in Port Charlotte instead.
Ubaldo Jimenez will still make his Orioles debut in Friday afternoon's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, and numerous Orioles will leave halfway through that content to fly up north to pay their respects to late public relations director Monica Barlow.
On non-game days, tickets may be exchanged at the stadium box office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the day of a game, beginning two hours prior to game time, tickets may be exchanged for that game only at the ticket windows. Fans who would like to exchange their tickets for a prime game will be required to pay the difference in cost.
To obtain a refund for paid tickets, fans should send the original game tickets via certified mail to:
Baltimore Orioles
March 6 Spring Training Rainout
Ed Smith Stadium
2700 12th Street
Sarasota, FL 34237
The refund check for the face value of the tickets will be mailed from Baltimore within six to eight weeks. Tickets must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days after today's date.
*Zach Britton said he's fine after being hit in the right wrist last night on the mound. Britton said for about thirty seconds he thought something was wrong, but he doesn't even have a bruise today and no plans for X-rays. His brother, Buck, forgot his jersey and there was a lot of confusion as to who No. 90 was. Britton joked that that got more attention than his performance on the mound.
*You can read about Britton's outing and the rest of the Orioles 11-5 win here.
*Johan Santana joined the Orioles for his first workout, Chris Tillman talked about his experience in fishing tournaments and the team's plans to honor Monica Barlow are all in last night's notebook here.

Britton fine after taking a ball off wrist
Orioles lefty Zach Britton took a ball off his glove to end the fifth inning, but manager Buck Showalter said he's expected to be fine and there aren't any plans for X-rays on his right wrist.
Britton threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two, in his second spring game. He followed Chris Tillman in the Orioles' 11-5 win over the Twins Wednesday night. The 25-year-old lefty is competing for a rotation spot this spring and has allowed one run over four innings.

Santana: It's a new chapter of my career
Johan Santana is here and took part in his first practice in an Orioles uniform. Wearing his #57, Santana is still rehabbing and won't be a full participant this spring with the O's targeting June for the left-hander –coming off his second shoulder surgery– to be an option.
I'll have a full story up on Santana on Orioles.com shortly, but here is a full transcript of what he said to the media..
On why he chose the Orioles…
"One of the biggest things is they understand exactly where I am as far as my rehab and everything. And then they've got the confidence that they'll be able to help me to come back. We're on the same page and I'm very happy for that. Also, Chris Correnti, who is an assistant trainer, I've worked with him in the past, so we've been together and working in some rehabs. Definitely, I feel good about it."
On if he feels good with where he's at in the rehab progress…
"Yeah, definitely. We still have some way to go but I've been throwing off the mound and getting my strength back, and so far everything's been good. We don't know how long it's going to take, but we're on the right track."
On June being the target return date…
"I hope so. There's nothing written down right now. I've got to go one day at a time and make sure every day is a good one and we'll see when we'll be ready. Right now, I'm throwing off the mound but I'm not facing hitters or anything and the intensity is not there yet. But the good thing is I feel good, and once you start building up and getting into baseball, it definitely should catch up quicker."
On how to gauge when his velocity will come back…
"Honestly, I have no idea. Only time will tell how fast I will throw. But as long as I don't feel anything in my arm, I'll be able to go out there. I know what to do. And again, you've got to make adjustments. There's no question about it. That's what I'm going to do. But right now, I don't really know what my velocity will be. This is just a process that we have to build up everything, and then we'll see how it goes."
On potentially joining the Orioles down the stretch…
"That's a good situation that might happen with me. It could be sooner, it could be later. This team is going to contend. And I am going to prepare to try to help as much as I can in any way. So whenever it is time for me to join the team I'm going to help as much as i can and hopefully it will be sometime soon."
On if it was important to him to join a potential contender…
"No question. You never know what's going to happen and injuries are part of the game. Definitely being in this situation is good for me. I don't even know when I am going to pitch again, but I hope I will do it and do it for this ballclub. And it means a lot to me. Because I don't know what the future holds, I don't know when my career is going to end. So you just got to take a chance and I think I'm in a good situation here.
On learning from last year's situation, when he tried to come back and had to have surgery again…
"You got to take one step at a time. You got to listen to your body. Something was wrong. We didn't know what it was until we saw the doctor and the medical point [of view], and they said there was something else in there. It was a tough situation but I did my best and they went in there and fixed it and now you start all over again. I'm just starting a new chapter of my career. now, I'm in Baltimore and I'm very happy about it."
On if he thought his career was over…
"I never thought about it, but it was there, but I was told by the doctor the surgery was successful, and it was going to be up to me to come back, and that's all I needed to hear. He told me it's not about being a tough surgery or whatever, it's just about how you're going to handle it, and how much you put into it, and I really have worked hard to be up to this point, and I'm not done yet. I don't want to go out in the game like that. I want to go out of the game on my own terms, knowing this is going to be my last game, knowing this is going to be my last year, and not just not knowing maybe that my last game was my last one. I don't even know who I faced, and when it was; I might not want to remember."
On mentoring some of the younger players…
"I can help any way. We're definitely here, and I'm happy for the opportunity and they're going to be my teammates, and their success is going to be my success and vice-versa. This is a team thing, and you know, you've got some good guys, good arms, and you've just got to take it through the whole process and get experience, and I'll be happy to share everything I know."
On if he's spoken with anyone, such as Brett Saberhagen, who had the same procedure…
"I haven't talked to him. When we talked to Dan Duquette, he told us that he had that kind of experience with him. He's pretty optimistic that I'll be able to come back, and the work ethic that we have will definitely help a lot. We're working it as a project, I guess. You could call it a project or whatever where we have to build it up and see how it goes. Nothing to lose, a lot to gain, so that's the way we're looking at it."
On if he will have any apprehension when he does face live hitters again…
"I went through it before so I'm just happy and anxious to come back and compete. Once I am there I don't think about too much. I just compete and go, so whatever happens, happens. To me, I love this game so much and I just have fun every time I am out there so that's what I'm going to do."
On the plan after spring training…
"I'm going to be here until we start pitching and competing. But as of right now we are going to be here the whole time until we know we are going to be able to compete."
On if pitching in relief is an option….
"The main thing here is to make sure the shoulder is back to being healthy. And then after that we will see how it goes. Definitely, my intention is to be a starter. There is no question about it, but at the same time we've got to make sure we are capable to do that in the long term. So I don't really know as of right now. We'll make adjustments as we go. But definitely the main focus here is getting the strength back. So, that's what I'm going to focus on."
News & notes day 21 (updated twice)
Greetings from Fort Myers, where the Orioles will take on the Twins…
*About 30 Orioles, including manager Buck Showalter, will leave Friday's game about midway through and get on a private plane to the Virginia area to attend memorial services for Monica Barlow. Showalter said the plane was originally going to seat just 10, but there was such a demand that owner Peter Angelos, who is arranging the plane, expanded the aircraft.
"Everybody wants to go, we had that problem and Mr Angelos expanded the plane," Showalter said. "He will be [angry] I brought it up, but it's a hell of a gesture."
The plan is for the group to leave around 4 p.m. ET and return around 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday night. Chris Davis, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Matt Wieters, J.J. Hardy and pretty much all of the team's regulars will be going, with bench coach John Russell taking over and managing the rest of the game against the Phillies.
*Bud Norris will pitch Saturday's home game against the Red Sox (which is on MASN), with Kevin Gausman traveling to Fort Myers for the night road contest. Miguel Gonzalez will start tomorrow with Ubaldo Jimenez making his Orioles debut on Friday.
*David Lough was supposed to come tonight, but he got hit with a line drive during outfield work in the right toe. X-rays were OK, but Showalter wanted to play it safe and left Lough at home.
*Suk-min Yoon will leave for Canada on March 10 and will "at least" pitch in a sim game before that. He will be gone a couple days to work out immigration issues.
*Manny Machado started moving side-to-side today in fielding ground balls, which is a good sign. He also had a mole removed off his back, but that's not anything that will sideline him.
*Dylan Bundy has six more long toss sessions and he's slated to throw off a flat ground mound on March 19.
*Alexi Casilla (hamstring) took live batting practice today and shouldn't be too far away, Showalter is hoping he'd be available for Saturday's split squad. Chris Marerro [oblique] took about 10 swings off the tee and isn't doing much better.
*Henry Urrutia is a go now. He will be back in the mix for Thursday's game after doing everything during today's practice.
*The first round of cuts will likely come Sunday or Monday, after the team's split squad game.
*Johan Santana held court with the media and you can read that here.
*Kevin Gausman is sporting a pair of prescription glasses today and he'll try those out on the field. His contacts have been giving him some problems.
*Brock Huntzinger has been an interesting early name. He's retired all six batters he's faced, including striking out the side against the Yankees on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old threw a scoreless third inning against the Red Sox regulars, also on the road, before that and has been praised by manager Buck Showalter in both appearances.
"I was joking around with my buddies, I can't remember the last time I struck out the side," Huntzinger said, when asked if Tuesday's trio of strikeouts was normal. "Probably in high school. I think it was all from getting ahead of guys. If I can start doing that, great. But no, I'm not going to strike everybody out. That's not really my thing."
Huntzinger has been sharp since arriving in Sarasota, and credits playing winter ball for the first time in his career for helping to keep him on track. He had two stints in the Dominican, including 15 2/3 innings with the Estrellas, where he pitched to a 1.15 ERA. He returned shortly after Christmas and pitched in the postseason for the Aguilas.
The Orioles bullpen has three or four unclaimed spots, and Huntzinger said he used to get really into keeping track of roster battles and what contract situation were in the clubhouse. But those days are gone.
"Coming here, I don't know what guys are starters or relievers, who's a free agent. And I think that's just kind of freed up my mind to just go out there and do what I can do," he said. "Obviously, I know they've got their guys or whatever, but they made me feel good in the process this offseason and they said there were going to be opportunities, so hopefully there's an opportunity."

Chen on his outing
Orioles pitcher Wei-Yin Chen made his first spring start, going two innings and allowing two runs on five hits including a walk. He also picked up a strikeout in the 42-pitch outing.
"I feel pretty good, it's been a while since I've played in a game. Especially in a night game," Chen said through his interpreter. "So I tried to make some adjustments, and I feel pretty good overall."
Chen gave up a solo homer to Francisco Cervelli, but that was really the only hard hit ball.
"It's still early in the spring, so I tried to make some adjustments," he said. "Sometimes pitches weren't ideal location-wise, but I made adjustments and overall I feel pretty good. And it's still Spring Training, so I don't mind it."
Chen has knee surgery to remove the bone spurs from his right knee this winter and this was his first start since.
"It does feel somewhat different but I don't know how to describe different how," he said. "Compared to last year, I do feel a little more comfortable when I was pitching. So, I was happy about the result. and tried to make my pitches and not to think about that…I just feel comfortable right now. "
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Chen wasn't as crisp as his last time out.
"He'll get better, that's why they call it Spring Training," Showalter said. "He's fine. Feels good physically, knee. So, that's a good sign."
News and notes day 20 (updated)
*The Orioles officially added Johan Santana on a Minor League deal today, with the target date June 1 for him to be an option. Santana is still rehabbing, but the Orioles feel like he'll be able to get that velocity up after his second shoulder surgery. Executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said today that Santana's surgery is the same as Bret Saberhagen, who was able to come back and have a successful year.
"He's been really getting after his rehab," said Duquette, who mentioned Santana's character and veteran leadership as other factors in the deal. "He's only 34 years old and he's determined to come back and pitch. He has some life-long goals that he'd like to fulfill and he's another quality left-hander that will be able to help our club."
Santana's contract has incentives for starts and manager Buck Showalter said today that he thinks the best way to keep Santana healthy is to have him be a starter.
"I'm excited. I think it's great," Showalter said. "I'm not going to say no risk, as far as, I'm not the owner [Peter Angelos], but it's another thing that Peter's allowed us to do that puts us in position to get kind of lucky. I'm not going to say it's a no lose proposition. There are things you lose, but it makes a risk worth taking. I think it's exciting, the possibility down the road. I'm hoping we get five starters who pitch so well, we don't need it, but pedigree speaks for itself, especially with the people that have been…we have some people here who I really trust their background and their opinion with Johan."
*Brian Roberts is here and playing second base in the cleanup spot for the Yankees. I'll have more from Roberts on Orioles.com later, but he said he has no ill-will for the Orioles, who didn't offer him a deal and physically is in a good place.
"I had 15 incredible years of my life there. Why would I be angry?," he said. "There is no point in living that way. I'm grateful and thankful for every day that I had there. At some point, it was going to come to an end, whether it was you had to retire. Very few guys get to do what Derek does and walk in and say, 'I'm done on my own terms.' I think probably one percent of the world gets to do that, so I'm not angry. That organization, and that team and our fans and the city have been great to me and my family and I have nothing but praise for every one of them."
Still, was Roberts –who had played his entire career in Baltimore before this season- disappointed that they didn't even try to keep him?
"It's hard to really sum up all the emotions that went into it," he said. "Sure, in some way, you might be, but at the same time you understand it's a business. I knew going into the offseason it was a possibility, and I told everyone I was fine with it if that was the case. I don't know all the circumstances behind it. Did I want to spend my entire career there? Sure, that probably would have been my number one choice, but sure. But, that doesn't always work out."
*Edgmer Escalona will be shut down for three weeks with shoulder inflammation after making just one appearance. The bullpen hopeful had a second opinion, but has not had any injections yet Showalter said.
*Henry Urrutia said all of the pain in right shoulder is gone and it's just a little sore at this point.

Markakis stronger, motivated headed into 2014
SARASOTA, Fla. — Twice a week, hours before the Orioles have to be at the Ed Smith Stadium complex for team stretch, a bulked up Nick Markakis is at Pilates. Baltimore's longtime right fielder started the regimen last year during the baseball season, but he got really intense about it — among other things — this winter and is now a regular at 6 a.m. ET class, which he upped to three times a week starting Monday.
The focus is on core strength and balance, two key components of an offseason like Markakis has never had before, one that had him pounding the pavement of his driveway with teammate Ryan Flaherty for workouts just two weeks after the Orioles' season had ended and weighing in 16 pounds heavier this spring.
Coming off the worst season of his career, Markakis is confident he has never been this strong, not even close. The 30-year-old, who was an American League Gold Glove finalist despite his struggles at the plate, is well aware that this is a contract year, with a looming $17.5 million 2015 club option that, if declined, would make Markakis a free agent for the first time in his career.
Yet all Markakis, who was sidelined during the Orioles' 2012 playoff run after a CC Sabathia pitch ended his season, wants from his offseason regime is to be able to stay on the field.
"I'm at the point in my career where a lot of things don't matter to me right now besides winning the World Series with this group of guys and this team right now," said Markakis, who would get a $2 million buyout if the Orioles don't pick up his option at season's end. "Because I don't know what the future holds for me, this could be my last year in an Orioles uniform. And I'd rather win a World Series, bring a World Series to Baltimore and this organization. I don't want to do it anywhere else. This is the team I came up with, this is the team that pretty much raised me. This is my family."
The grizzled veteran is determined to come back strong. After three surgeries in nine months between 2012-13, he was slowed with a neck injury during Spring Training last year. However, he went on to play 160 games, the fourth time in the past five seasons he's hit the 160-game mark. Talk to any player in any Major League clubhouse about what kind of grit that takes and their expression says all you need to know.

First Bite: Ken Ken Ramen
San Francisco is unabashedly noodle-centric, mostly thanks to all the artisanal pastas being rolled and cut in kitchens like Flour + Water, A16, and Perbacco. Close behind SF's Italian obsession, though, is the city's love for ramen. Last month, chef Takahiro Hori took his Ken Ken Ramen pop-up and went brick-and-mortar in a new permanent location in the Mission.
If there's a wait (and there appears to be most of the time since the place is open only Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to start), the bar up front serves beer, sake, and wine, but most orders are for a creamy boba tea made with Straus milk from the Boba Guys. Once seated at the low kitchen counter or one of the 20 or so wood-planked tables in the white dining room, ordering is simple. Ramen comes one of five ways: in a rich white-red miso with pork stock, a soy sauce base with pork stock, a clearer salt base with pork stock, or in a vegan broth with or without a perfectly soft-boiled egg. Some would argue that ramen's all about the broth, and on that point, Ken Ken does well. Piled high on top is tender pork, baby corn, sprouts, nori, and bok choy. The ramen itself, made in house with flour imported from Hokkaido, is slender and springy. Fish for the noodles with chopsticks, and then trade them in for a spoon to slurp up the broth and egg yolk spilling over the veggies.

Yet, when he finds some, knife-wielding thugs steal it. Then one day Jonas hears that Jesus, the miracle worker, is nearby.

A review of the thousands of companies offering loudspeaker systems will expose that virtually all share the same basic technologies. Although design implementation and details may differ, after a century of loudspeaker development, most domestic and professional systems are based on designs fundamentally unchanged from more than 50 years ago.
Of the hundreds of companies focused on providing systems for home use, there are but a few dedicated to the highest levels of the craft. Of these, an even smaller number maintains the commitment and resources to produce systems employing technologies and transducers of their own design and manufacture. Wisdom Audio is such a company.
Wisdom Audio was founded in 1996 with one goal in mind, to create the world's finest loudspeakers unbound by limitations of current technologies and past design. Wisdom's proprietary large scale thin film planar-magnetic transducers, electronic crossovers in place of passive designs, and innovative woofer designs were all developed to solve problems inherent in the limitations of traditional designs and how they interact with the listening room. The result is an experience like no other.
Our passion to provide high end expressions of our art encompasses contemporary home entertainment requirements including multi-channel designs. Whether your interest is in traditional two channel music reproduction or multichannel music and film playback, there is a Wisdom system to address your needs.

Pioneer ups the ante, says 500GB Blu-ray-like disc possible
A month after saying it had figured out how to squeeze 400GB of data onto a single optical disc, Pioneer says it can do better than that.
On Tuesday the company said that it is "feasible" to produce a Blu-ray-compatible disc with 20 layers. At 25GB per layer, that amounts to a 500GB disc. The previous claim of 400GB meant just 16 layers were on a single disc.
Blu-ray Discs are currently available in single layer (25GB) and dual-layer (50GB) discs.
The company said that it was able to squeeze more layers in by stacking alternating layers of … Read more

In Paul Schrader's unusual biopic, Ken Ogata stars as Yukio Mishima, perhaps the most celebrated Japanese novelist of the last five decades. The film begins with Mishima's youth, then moves forward in episodic fashion to his 1970 suicide, symbolically committed at a military site. Originally titled Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, the film is neatly divided into a quartet of acts, and the screenplay does not flinch in its depiction of Mishima's hyperactive sex life.

In a push to grow their dual-screen appeal, Twitter has debuted the "Twitter Mirror," which posts celebrity self-portraits during live television events like the Grammys or Jimmy Kimmel's show. Katie Rosman reports on Lunch Break. Photo: twitter.com/TwitterMirror.
Twitter executives have been meeting with television producers since last winter about using the Mirror as a real-time promotional tool for their broadcasts. "People sometimes say, 'These Oscars can be a slog.' We're trying to give them an amazing view of what is coming up next and what people are doing off-camera," Mr. Graver says.
Every awards show wants to outdo the one before. After the Grammys used a Mirror backstage in February, the Oscars posted one in the greenroom two weeks later.

Many celebrity Twitter feeds have morphed in the last several years from unedited channels to professional marketing machines. Twitter employees say the Mirror lets the public into exclusive venues to see famous people in less guarded moments.
Celebrities could just shoot their own smartphone pictures. (President Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron even appeared in one by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at Nelson Mandela's memorial Tuesday.) The Mirror makes it easy for them to not just promote themselves, but the shows as well, by adding hashtags to the image and sending the photos out from the feed of the programs they're appearing on.

"The Mirror photos are more of a contrast to the standard paparazzi, red-carpet, step-and-repeat choreography where you see all of the exact same poses in every celebrity gossip mag," says Andrew McClain, the Twitter employee who oversees the Mirror.
Twitter sent a team to Los Angeles in November to the headquarters of late-night talk show " Jimmy Kimmel Live" to install in the greenroom the first permanent Twitter Mirror. Guests appearing on the show can take a self-portrait and tweet to the 377,000 followers of the show's Twitter feed that they're about to appear on stage.
Doug DeLuca, the show's co-executive producer, says the hope is for tweeted sneak peeks to drive viewers to the show. "Ratings are very directly related to 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' being part of the social conversation in a meaningful way," he says.
The National Basketball Association hung Mirrors at its 2013 draft and at its all-star game and championship series. It posted to Twitter a selfie of the Miami Heat's Ray Allen immediately after his team won the title in June. "We look at the Twitter Mirror as an old-time photo booth at an arcade," says Melissa Rosenthal Brenner, the league's senior vice president of marketing.
Donna Karan and Barbra Streisand posed together at the Mirror in the greenroom during the 2013 Oscars. Aside from the stars in the foreground, it has the quality of a run-of-the-mill amateur smartphone photo: It isn't well-lit and a weary-looking waiter is captured in the background.
Instagram is also working to create celeb-friendly photo ops. At the American Music Awards, stars could pose at the InstaStop photo station, with images posting to the followers of the "Entertainment Tonight" Instagram feed.
Ariel Elazar, senior vice president of digital distribution for Dick Clark Productions, the company that produces the AMAs, says his team worked closely with Twitter in orchestrating its social-media plan. A Twitter Mirror built from a Samsung Galaxy Note sat backstage. The AMAs also unveiled a mirror-like contraption on the red carpet that rotated on an arm, capturing brief 360-degree videos of stars' dresses. The fashion images first appeared on People magazine's Twitter feed, which has 5.3 million followers. The award show's feed immediately retweeted them to about 230,000 followers.

For drawing viewers and boosting ratings, he says, "Twitter has more of a real-time impact for us than Facebook" and other social outlets.
Facebook has debuted its #dayinthelife series, in which celebrities chronicle their day on Facebook and Instagram. On the day of MTV's Video Music Awards in August, Miley Cyrus took part. "When you see an Instagram picture of Sofia Vergara getting ready for an award show, it's definitely going to be a reminder that the show is on that night," says Charles Porch, Facebook's strategic partnerships manager for music and entertainment.
The Mirror was born in January, when Twitter employees Jenna Mannos, James Buckhouse and Mr. McClain teamed up for Hack Week, an internal company competition. Based on the use of a pool camera that tweeted shots during the 2012 Olympics in London, Ms. Mannos had the idea for a contraption that would take behind-the-scenes photos at New York Fashion Week.
From there, the trio came up with the Mirror, whose function was designed by Mr. McClain, an actor and engineer who came to Twitter when it acquired his startup, Fluther. The decorative filigree frame that surrounded the tablet came from a Los Angeles prop shop. Each frame is custom-made to fit with the particular production's décor and vibe.
After Hack Week the group began to focus on putting the Mirror to use for media partners. For its test run, the Mirror was affixed to a wall at the reception of Mr. McClain's wedding. Photos were tweeted through a dedicated wedding Twitter feed. "Half of the pictures were of teenage girls," Mr. McClain says. As a result, the company learned to suggest staffing the tablet to ensure the right people would know to take their selfies.
The Twitter Mirror project has seven employees focused on creating new experiences.
Mr. McClain now works full time on the project, brainstorming with producers to come up with new ways to use it. He hosted the Mirror by standing backstage at the Grammys and Tonys to help draw in celebrities. "I had a hard time convincing Tom Hanks to use the Mirror at the Tonys, since he wanted to take his own backstage pictures," he says.
