Ducks Knock Out Chicago, 4-2
It's been a tough week for the Chicago Blackhawks. On Sunday, Brian Campbell broke his collar bone and a rib after a hit by Alexander Ovechkin that earned him a two-game suspension. Tonight, they lost Brent Seabrook to an "upper body injury" (more on that later). The final indignity was losing their third game in a row, this time a 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
For the Ducks, they needed those two points desperately to keep their waning playoff hopes alive.
"We can't let up for one minute," said Todd Marchant. "We know our situation and where we're at. We have to keep pushing. You never know what game or point could cost you in the end."
Bobby Ryan got his 30th goal of the year at 4:08. Ryan Carter, filling in on the top line for Ryan Getzlaf (day to day with a reinjured ankle), and Corey Perry did all the work. Birthday boy, Bobby, finished things off behind Blackhawks back-up Corey Crawford. That makes his second consecutive 30 goal season.
"It's a nice milestone," said Ryan. "Nicer for two points for us."
Despite what the shots on goal read, it seemed like Chicago was in the Ducks end most of the first period (and the second and the third). It was no surprise when Seabrook took advantage of a defensive breakdown and tied up the game at 11:16.
Seabrook did not contribute any more to the game after being the victim of an awful hit from James Wisniewski at 2:22 of the second period. Seabrook had hit Perry hard along the boards and Wisniewski was clearly sticking up for his teammate by taking it out on his former Chicago teammate. Wisniewski came in at Seabrook, who was at the end boards, from nearly the blue line, colliding heads and following through with his arms to finish the job.
Seabrook could have been renamed "See Stars." Looking just like a staged bar fight in an old Western movie where the guy gets clocked and crumples to the ground. Except this was no movie and it wasn't choreographed. That brief moment of unconsciousness was real. Seabrook went to the bench and then to the locker room, not to return.
Duncan Keith immediately went to task on Wisniewski, who promptly pummeled Keith to the ice. The amazing thing was that the referees only called charging and fighting on Wisniewski. No major penalty. No game misconduct. Wisniewski, who was suspended two games in November for a hit on Shane Doan will have to wait and see if there is further judgement on this one.
"He's one of my real good buddies," commented a seemingly remorseful Wisniewski. "I saw the replay and I was shocked to see the result of that. That's something I don't want to ever see happen."
The best revenge is scoring, but while on a power play, Crawford made a gamble and lost. He came way out of the net to play the puck, but Kyle Chipchura stole the puck from him. Marchant made certain that he put the puck in the open net at 6:27, despite several Blackhawks players attempting to protect the crease. Third shorthanded goal of the year for Marchant and #28 of his career.
"I can't take any credit for it," said Marchant. "Chipper made a great play."
The Blackhawks did tie things up early in the third period. Applying even more pressure to Anaheim, Marian Hossa deflected in Keith's shot with a stick that was parallel to the crossbar at 5:12. It was reviewed, but Hossa's stick was clearly not above the crossbar and the goal was good. Game tied 2-2.
Chicago kept shooting. Jonas Hiller kept making saves. 38 for the game. The pipes saved a couple, too.
The Ducks took advantage of their opportunities, though. Lubomir Visnovsky popped up the puck high and Perry retrieved it, despite having Brent Sopel to contend with. Sopel went down like he was shot, hoping to get a call on Perry, but Perry got the puck to Saku Koivu who put it in the net at 14:24. It proved to be the eventual game winner. The Blackhawks liked neither the goal nor the perceived non-call preceding it.
"Bobby and Perry were doing a great job down low," said Koivu. "The puck just popped between the circles and I was able to get a good shot, a one-timer."
The final indignity was an empty net goal from Ryan at 19:07 for the insurance marker. Wisniewski drew an assist and another fight, this time with former Duck, Nick Boynton, who was acquired by Chicago at the trade deadline and was called up after Campbell's injury.
"Guys got dirty and found ways to get it done," commented Ryan.
Coach Randy Carlyle was pleased with his team's effort.
"It was an emotional game and both teams were desperate for points," said Carlyle. "We knew with them coming in here an dhaving lost their last two hockey games that they were going to be a little bit of a grouchy hockey club. We have to be grouchy in the situation we're in. It was two teams competing and when the physical element of the game gets up there, it's up to people to respond."
Their next opportunity for grouchy, emotional, physical play will be on Friday night against the New York Islanders. Perhaps then Teemu Selanne can notch goal #600. He registered five shots on goal. None of them went in, much to the frustration of the fans. For a player who has averaged a goal every other game, you just know it's going to come eventually.
In other notes: Kyle Calder, who had been brought from the Toronto Marlies on an emergency recall, was sent back today as Teemu Selanne was deemed ready to go in the game.

Boise State students James Rawson and David Barcal transferred to the school this year expecting to watch the Broncos' nationally ranked football team.
Neither expected to become fans of a basketball team capable of going to the NCAA Tournament.
But there they were Wednesday night at the Student Union Building, wearing their Bronco gear and cheering for the basketball team in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
About 60 students and fans gathered to watch the Broncos play La Salle on one of five televisions, including a massive projection screen.
"When we went to the Colorado State game, the blackout game, we were expecting that atmosphere in football," Barcal said.
The excitement of that game, of an unexpected season, of the Broncos' entire surprising run to the tournament, has lured a new generation of basketball fans.
The students and fans wanted to cheer Wednesday night. They wanted it badly. It was a room ready, willing, eager to start celebrating.
La Salle - 1,943 miles away in Dayton, Ohio - didn't give them a chance.
"They wouldn't let us get excited," Barcal said of La Salle.
Said Rawson: "They couldn't miss."
The Explorers made 11-of-21 3-point attempts and 63 percent of their field-goal attempts for the game. In the second half, as Boise State tried to inch closer and the fans grew more restless inside the SUB, La Salle made 16-of-22 shots from the field.
"We kept catching up and then they'd hit like two 3s in a row," said Eric Murrell, who had a front seat for the carnage at the SUB. "Their quickness. They were weaving through our guys."
truTV, one of the obscure channels that fills in the 800-plus channels, promises unbelievable crashes and dumb criminals. It's slogan is "Not Reality. Actuality."
The reality for this program is this should just be the start of great things. The Broncos have 10 sophomores and freshmen, and just one senior. They arrived a year ahead of time. And that's certainly what the fans believe.
"We're going a lot farther. I know it," Rawson said.
Said Murrell, an alum and a football season-ticket holder, "I'm thinking about becoming a season-ticket holder for basketball. I was here the first day (coach Leon Rice) came and went to the luncheon. He's just as good as Pete (football coach Chris Petersen)."
The actuality is nothing is assured. Getting to the NCAA Tournament is hard. Winning games there is even harder. A young team doesn't always get better. The progress isn't always linear. A bad break, a bad bounce, a bad injury.
Seasons can be derailed by just about anything.
That's not to diminish the expectations - or hope - for next season.
It is a recognition that this year's team accomplished something special, and simply adding another year to most players' academic status doesn't guarantee greater success.
Until the final seconds, the five dozen or so in Boise kept waiting, expecting, hoping the five on the floor in Dayton would find a way.
And when the Broncos cut the lead to six points with less than two minutes remaining, improbably, there was a chance of a miracle finish in a place known for them.
It wasn't to be.
As La Salle ran out the clock, the fans filed out. Disappointed, but excited. Sad, but with the alluring promise of better days to come.
These Broncos rekindled their interest in basketball, revived their passions post-football season.
That was enough.
For now.

"Love this invitation!!! The color is not as dark as the online one looks, but it is still really beautiful! I have received so many compliments from it!"
"I got SO many compliments on this invitation. The blue is actually lighter & more of a slate blue than it looks in the picture. Its gorgeous. The pattern is subtle but elegant and the font is spot on. SO glad I went with this one. You wont be disappointed!"
"The invites are adorable but the customer service was above and beyond! I made the mistake of not ordering enough the first time and within minutes on a live chat with a Tiny Prints customer service agent I had 5 more on the way STAT! Will definitely be using them for future events!"
"Elegant, more so than it looks on line. Classy. Made great invitation for my daughter's baptism. I liked that it had separate designations for the church address and reception. Very happy with this purchase. I got several compliments on the card."
"- After reading somebody else's review on this product I followed their recommendation on choosing the White Pearl Paper. I think it gives it a magical touch. It is brighter but it doesn't look cheesy or not elegant which I was worried about. - Try to choose a picture with pastel colors. - it is a GOOD quality product and finish. - I did the Rush Delivery and it really was QUICK! I ordered them on a Sunday and I got the cards on Tuesday Morning!!!"

Rosie O'Donnell and her wife Michelle Rounds have welcomed a new baby girl into their family.
The comedic entertainer shared a family photo and tweeted, "we r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota – #withloveandthanks – AMEN."
According to O'Donnell's rep, the adopted infant was born on Jan. 5 and weighed 5 pounds, 5 ounces. "Moms and baby are happy and healthy."
Suffice it to say that 2012 was eventful for the couple. They got married in NYC in June and both endured serious health issues that included a heart attack suffered by Rosie in August and a diagnosis of desmoid tumors for Michelle, a rare and life-threatening disease.
Rosie has four other adopted children – Blake, Vivienne, Parker and Chelsea – from a previous relationship with Kelli Carpenter.

Youth in Revolt: Bullett Reinvents the Magazine–and Their Masthead
Last week Nick Haramis started his new job as editorial director of Bullett, the curious quarterly fashion magazine now entering its second year.
From his designated corner of Bullett's Chelsea loft (equipped with a big shiny Mac, but still awaiting a partition to separate the broom closet from the office), Mr. Haramis said he had been seduced by the prospect of building something new at Bullett, an opportunity presented to him by editor in chief Idil Tabanca and chief brand officer Carrie Rosten in a meeting at The Ace.
Although Bullett is not exactly a start-up, one might say it's pivoting. In the spring, a founding investor and editor, Erin Ralph, a proto-Tavi fashion blog entrepreneur, was bought out by another founder and his or her "undisclosed overseas backer," rumored to be a blood relation.
Ms. Tabanca, 27, replaced Ms. Ralph as editor-in-chief. She said the parting was mutual and amicable. Ms. Tabanca hired Ms. Rosten from Out magazine. Ms. Ralph went on to launch Weebo, a social shopping start-up. Read More

"The thing I came for:
the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth."
—Adrienne Rich (May 16, 1929–March 27, 2012), poet and feminist icon, from her poem "Diving into the Wreck.".

Adrienne Rich Walks Through Life's Door
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Adrienne Rich died yesterday at the age of 82. The pioneering feminist and poet has surfaced in many of our radio conversations over the years. Elizabeth Alexander cited Rich's poem telling us that a poet needs to follow her intuition fully by "diving into the wreck."
But, it is this simple, poignant poem in which she reflects upon the Exodus story that has always stuck with me. Somehow, with the upcoming Passover season and her passing through life's door, I find it most appropriate on this solemn occasion to share with you here and remember one of our greatest:
Prospective Immigrants Please Note
Either you will
go through this door
or you will not go through.
If you go through
there is always the risk
of remembering your name.
Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen.
If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily
to maintain your attitudes
to hold your position
to die bravely
but much will blind you,
much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?
The door itself makes no promises.
It is only a door.

What the end of Freddie and Fannie could cost borrowers
August 8, 2013: 5:00 AM ETThere are plenty of unanswered questions around the potential unwinding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but one thing is certain: It will cost homebuyers more to get a mortgage.
FORTUNE – Efforts to wind down the government's support of America's biggest mortgage companies are gaining traction; the question now is how much more could it cost homebuyers if Congress scales down Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, or ends the companies altogether.
Recall that Freddie and Fannie collapsed in 2008 after huge losses from far too many mortgages that went sour. The companies don't actually make home loans -- they buy mortgages from lenders, which are then packaged as bonds and sold to investors. For years, that helped banks reduce risks on their balance sheets. It also freed up more money for banks to lend and therefore helped hold down interest rates. If borrowers defaulted, the companies promised to repay investors thanks to an implicit guarantee they had from the U.S. government.
This system worked for many years until the housing market bubble burst; the government rescued Freddie and Fannie with a bailout of nearly $200 billion.
It's clear now that nobody, especially taxpayers, wants to relive the crisis, or to pay for any more screw-ups. And on Tuesday, President Obama joined the mantra, calling for changes to Freddie and Fannie, similar to the Senate's bipartisan plan, which would phase out the companies over five years and shrink the government's role in guaranteeing mortgage securities. The idea of winding down Freddie and Fannie isn't anything new. As early as 2010, if not earlier, Republicans, in particular, have been calling to downsize the mortgage giants. What makes the efforts different today is that the housing market has turned around and so have Freddie and Fannie, which guarantee 80% of all new U.S. home loans.
MORE: The rebirth of Fannie and Freddie
In the latest proposals, taxpayers would receive more protection, but that will likely come at some costs to the average homebuyer in the way of having to pay higher interest rates.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, has come up with a few estimates. If he's right, under the Senate's plan, the typical borrower with a $200,000 mortgage and a 20% down payment could pay about $75 per month more in interest on a 30-year mortgage, or about half a percentage point more. Under the House plan, which would virtually privatize the mortgage market, borrowers on average would pay about $135 more a month.
Nobody is saying yet that scaling down Freddie and Fannie will destroy the housing market. To be sure, many other important details are unclear.
Besides paying more in interest, borrowers may also pay more, if only indirectly, into a government-run insurance fund. Under the Senate's plan, the government would continue playing a role in the mortgage market, albeit a limited one that would create a new Federal Mortgage Insurance Corp. This is similar to the way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp insures bank deposits. The FMIC would collect insurance premiums from the industry and keep an insurance fund, which would kick in if a "substantial amount" of private capital is used up, according to the Senate's bill sponsored by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.).
MORE: How Citi is hedging against the foreclosure settlements
The question is what would be considered a "substantial amount." Also uncertain is how much the premiums could cost lenders, as well as how much gets passed onto borrowers.
The biggest question of all, perhaps, is if the mortgage market is left entirely up to the private sector, could the popular 30-year-fixed rate mortgage cease to exist? This will largely depend on the creation of an FMIC, which would absorb many of the risks that come with such long-term loans, Zandi says. If the mortgage industry is left entirely up to the free market, it becomes less likely that lenders would offer such loans that have made buying more affordable for many borrowers.

Plumas County has a new Sheriff and a new District Attorney as challengers Terry Bergstrand and Jeff Cunan upset incumbents Sheriff Len Gardner and District AttorneyJames Reichle. Assistant Clerk-Recorder Kathy Williams defeated challenger Dorothy Miller and Assistant Treasurer Ginny Dunbar defeated Susie Grant. As predicted, there will a run-off in the District 5 supervisoral race between Graeagle residents Ole Olsen and Ken Barnard.

Hannaford parking lot encounter involved a shotgun
But Driggers' 20-month-old daughter, Sydney, was in her car seat behind him and his disabled mom was sitting beside him when Richard Sinotte, 53, allegedly threatened him outside Hannaford's supermarket about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
He said his mother, Marcia Fowler, 62, politely asked the driver, "Please wait a moment."
"I said I'm sorry but we're going to be here 30 seconds. Please exercise an ounce of patience," added Driggers, a radio disk jockey who works weekends at 106.3 Frank FM-WFNQ in Nashua.
"If you hit this vehicle with my infant daughter in it, it's not going to go well for you," Driggers said he warned Sinotte.
"He very clearly showed it to me and said something to the effect, 'How well do you think it will go for you?," Driggers recounted. Driggers said the man never pointed the shotgun at him and put the weapon back down.
Police said they arrived to find Sinotte standing outside his truck and a 12-gauge Remington shotgun lying on the front passenger seat inside. It was not loaded. Police seized the weapon and 10 shells.

Use Cassandra to Run Hadoop MapReduce
So if you are looking for a good NoSQL read of HBase vs. Cassandra you can check out http://ria101.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/hbase-vs-cassandra-why-we-moved/. In short HBase is good for reads and Cassandra for writes. Cassandra does a great job on reads too so please do not think I am shooting either down in any way. I am just saying that both HBase and Cassandra have great value and useful purpose in their own right and even use cases exists to run both. HBase recently got called up as a top level apache project coming up and out of Hadoop.
Having worked with Cassandra a bit I often see/hear of folks asking about running Map/Reduce jobs against the data stored in Cassandra instances. Well Hadoopers & Hadooperettes the Cassandra folks in the 0.60 release provide a way to-do very nicely. It is VERY straight forward and well thought through. If you want to see the evolution check out the JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-342
So how do you it? Very simple, Cassandra provides an implementation of InputFormat. Incase you are new to Hadoop the InputFormat is what the mapper is going to use to load your data into it (basically). Their subclass connects your mapper to pull the data in from Cassandra. What is also great here is that the Cassandra folks have also spent the time implementing the integration in the classic "Word Count" example.
See https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/contrib/word_count/ for this example. Cassandra rows or row fragments (that is, pairs of key + SortedMap of columns) are input to Map tasks for processing by your job, as specified by a SlicePredicate that describes which columns to fetch from each row. Here's how this looks in the word_count example, which selects just one configurable columnName from each row:
ConfigHelper.setColumnFamily(job.getConfiguration(), KEYSPACE, COLUMN_FAMILY); SlicePredicate predicate = new SlicePredicate().setColumn_names(Arrays.asList(columnName.getBytes())); ConfigHelper.setSlicePredicate(job.getConfiguration(), predicate);
Cassandra also provides a Pig LoadFunc for running jobs in the Pig DSL instead of writing Java code by hand. This is in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/contrib/pig/.

I believe that NoSQL databases are really what the best we have now.

UPDATE: Here's the link to the $15,000 Kickstarter drive to raise money for the Overtime's upcoming move: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1440030747/move-the-overtime
The Overtime Theater will be picking up stakes and leaving its distinctive spot in the Blue Star Arts Complex. (Cortez news in a few paragraphs.)
Change is afoot within the complex, and owners weren't able to accommodate the theater's needs, space-wise. At this point, the theater is getting cramped and needs to expand, and so they'll be hunting for larger digs.
The theater will be launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise the money for the move; more details on that, including the link to the Kickstarter deal, will be posted later today.
And now, Cortez: For this month's outing, featuring the return of fan faves Robert Jerdee and Rob Barron, there will be five performances. The show can be seen at 10:30 p.m. and midnight March 30-31 and at 7 p.m. April 1. Plan accordingly.

Hidden and visible costly plumbing leaks can easily waste thousands of gallons of water per year
Plumbing leaks can come from a variety of sources. Hidden and visible leaks can easily waste thousands of gallons of water a year – not to mention the higher utility bills and the repair costs.
Toilet leaks are very common, but can be hard to diagnose. Leaks may occur from several sources. The most common tank toilet leak is the flapper or tank ball, which holds the water in the tank until the flush lever is activated.
The tank contains two valves: a flush valve and a refill valve. One type of refill valve is commonly called a ballcock. When the flush valve fails to seat properly, water is leaked from the tank into the bowl. The leaked tank water is replenished by the refill valve, causing a continuous flow of wasted water. A simple test for this leak is putting 8 to 10 drops of food coloring in the water tank. After 5 to 10 minutes, if you find food coloring in the water bowl, this indicates the possibility that the flapper/tank ball needs to be replaced. A good rule is to replace these parts every 2 years.
Some of the reasons for a leaky faucet:
Water fixtures that drip usually have worn-out parts and need to be repaired or replaced. Always remember to turn off the water and relieve the water pressure before attempting to disassemble the plumbing fixture.
Leaking faucets are manageable and can be repaired. Pressurized water is distributed to your property, and a faucet turns off by making a watertight seal strong enough to neutralize that pressure. A simple washer and seat assembly achieves this job; if your faucet is dripping, one of these two items probably needs to be replaced. You'll first need to shut off the water and pull out the faucet. You'll then see the washer. If replacing the washer doesn't fix the leak, then the problem is probably in the brass seat, which is located behind the washer. You can fix it yourself if you have the proper seating wrench, but you can also call a professional plumber.
Although plumbing leaks can be costly if neglected, there are ways to prevent them by applying some simple prevention techniques. The most important part of avoiding huge plumbing-repair costs due to leaks is to take preventive measures and immediately address any leaks.

Berkeley votes for Sanford
Less than 10 percent of Berkeley County voters participated in the Republican primary runoff for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District seat.
Berkeley voters gave Mark Sanford a majority with 57 percent of the county vote, according to the unofficial results given out by the Berkeley Voter Registration and Election commission shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
Sanford received 5,267 votes while opponent Curtis Bostic received 3,923 votes (42 percent). A total of 9,245 ballots were cast in Berkeley County.
Poll workers in Goose Creek reported a steady turnout during the afternoon. Poll managers at the Stratford 1 precinct (at Stratford High School) said by 3 p.m. that 78 citizens voted.
Westview Precincts 1, 2, 3 fared with slightly higher turnouts by 3:30 p.m. as 158, 192 and 125 people voted at these precincts, respectively.
Westview poll worker Sharon Walker said turnout was steady all day with no rushes. She added that two weeks ago during the special primary election twice as many people came out to vote at Westview Middle School where there were six voting machines, two for each precinct.

The Lincoln Road Mall - or, in local shorthand, 'the Road' - had its heyday in the 1950s, when it was designed by iconic architectural guru Morris Lapidus and dubbed the 'Fifth Avenue of the South'. And just as Lapidus went through an unpopular period before coming back into fashion in the 1990s, so Lincoln Road waned before experiencing a resurgence as the prime South Beach spot, especially for locals jaded with the preening crowds on Ocean Drive.
Gussied up in 1997 with a $16-million facelift, the mall sits between 16th and 17th Streets and stretches from Washington Avenue to Alton Road. It's wall-to-wall sidewalk cafés, clubs, boutiques, high-end retail shops, restaurants, cultural venues and galleries. Once, those businesses might have qualified as legitimately avant-garde, but after the renovation, rents soared and today most of the shops on Lincoln Road are chains - it now has more Starbucks than entire cities in America's Midwest.
The Road crowd - male and female, both - come equipped with airdogs and wheeled feet. Busiest time is late evening, when the dozens of cafés and restaurants set up sidewalk tables for the bridge and tunnel crowd. Choice venues include the Van Dyke Café, sister to Ocean Drive's News Café, and the sun-soaked outpost of pink London fave Balans. The Road also has popular glam gay nightspot Score, which maintains foot traffic on the mall into the early hours. Sundays are popular for the antiques and farmers' market (Oct-June, every second & fourth Sunday). Cultural venues on Lincoln include the Lincoln Theater, home of the New World Symphony, and the Colony Theatre, a deco gem that hosts theatre, dance and music performances, and recently held screenings as part of the Miami International Film Festival. At the mall's western end is the fairly recent addition of the Regal South Beach cinema.

An offshoot of Occupy Wall Street has launched a new movement called "Rolling Jubilee" to buy distressed debt from financial firms, often for pennies on the dollar, and then canceling it so that borrowers do not have to repay.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours a dark brown with a big khaki colored head of foam. The aroma has rich toffee and dark fruit notes. Some chocolate notes are there as well. The taste is more of that dark fruit and chocolate sweetness. Some sherry notes, perhaps. Big, chewy mouthfeel and body. Lower end of carbonation.

3.64/5 rDev -11%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance- Pours a very dark brown with a small tan head that recedes quickly and leaves no lacing.
Smell- First smell is raisins along with some background notes of toffee and burnt caramel. The raisin/prune smell is very dominant.
Taste- Similar to the smell I get a strong prune taste. I get some dark chocolate and a little burnt caramel on the back end. Almost no bitterness, fairly sweet and tart.
Mouthfeel- Body is medium, good carbonation for the style. Leaves a slick feeling after swallowing.
Overall- Not a bad beer, but the strong prune taste and smell made me not enjoy it as much. A very different take on a scotch ale.

KTRS News
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Kyle Lohse beat the Cardinals for the first time this season and Sean Halton knocked in a career-high three runs to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis 6-3 Tuesday night.
Lohse (9-8) beat the Cardinals in his fourth try this season and improved to 3-5 in nine outings overall against his former team.
Lohse left after six innings with the Brewers leading 6-3. He earned his team-leading 17th quality start, including six in his last seven. He struck out four, walked two and allowed six hits and three runs, two coming on Yadier Molina's two-run homer in the fourth. Molina doubled and scored in the second on Matt Adams' single.
After John Axford and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning, and Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 chances.
Lance Lynn (13-7) got roughed up in the Brewers' five-run fourth, highlighted by Halton's two-run single with the bases loaded.
Milwaukee's first six batters in the frame reached, loading the bases twice with no outs. Scooter Gennett drove in the first run with a single. After Aramis Ramirez singled and Khris Davis reached on Lynn's fielding error, Halton drove them in with a line drive to center that doubled his season RBI total. Logan Schafer followed with an RBI single and Norichika Aoki tacked on the last run with a sacrifice fly.
Halton set a career mark in the fifth with his third RBI of the game. Davis singled, stole second and scored on Halton's grounder into center.
Carlos Beltran singled and scored on Molina's 10th home run of the season.
Adams beat the Brewers defensive shift in the second inning and knocked in Molina with the Cardinals' first run. Adams blooped a single over the head of shortstop Jean Segura, positioned on the right side of second base. Molina was on with a double over the head of center fielder Schafer. The ball flicked off Schafer's glove and rolled to the wall.
NOTES: Kolten Wong, who had his first two major league hits on Monday night, continued getting on base. He went 3 for 5 with two singles and a double. The team's No. 1. pick in the 2011 draft joined the Cardinals from Triple-A Memphis Friday night in Chicago. ... Brewers 1B Juan Francisco got the game off. He's struck out four times in consecutive games. "If I think he just needs one day, I will get him back in there tomorrow," manager Ron Roenicke said. Halton replaced him. ... Lynn is 2-2 in four starts facing the Brewers. ... Brewers CF Carlos Gomez remained out of the starting lineup after spraining his right knee colliding into the center-field wall on Thursday night. He's missed five consecutive games. ... Segura stole his 37th base, matching Everth Cabrera of the San Diego Padres for the NL lead.
Tuesday, 20 August 2013 11:32 Published in National NewsBut all Doc Washburn wanted to know about was immigration.
The local radio talk-show host asked the Republican senator why he had worked with Democrats on legislation that would give the estimated 11 million immigrants here illegally an eventual path to citizenship.
"We know you, and we've always loved you," Washburn said, "and yet you're pushing this and it's a real problem for us."
The exchange - and Rubio's reluctance to raise the issue after spending months advocating for comprehensive immigration reform - underscore why the potential presidential candidate has undertaken a sort of image-rehabilitation tour, promoting his conservative bona fides to crowds in Florida's most Republican bastions.
Once embraced by the tea party, Rubio's name can now elicit boos and catcalls at rallies. And since he began championing immigration changes, his standing has slipped in some polls.
The senator acknowledges the fallout. He told Republicans in Panama City, "Politically, it has not been a pleasant experience, to say the least." But his aides insist that his pivot to health care is driven by policy, not politics, that he's simply giving the U.S. House its own space to tackle immigration.
On a six-city, three-day swing through North Florida last week, Rubio emphasized his opposition to funding the health care law and barely mentioned immigration, the issue most closely associated with him. In a 35-minute speech to the Rotary Club of Jacksonville, he devoted just one minute to the reform legislation he helped shepherd through the Senate. In private, he discussed the issue in a series of meetings with conservative activists upset by his advocacy. He also held a series of public roundtables with business leaders, redirecting attention to his campaign to cut off funding for Obama's health care law.
As he told Washburn and the yacht club crowd: "If we're not willing to draw a line in the sand on Obamacare, then what issue are we willing to draw a line in the sand on?"
The tour came as two of Rubio's fellow senators - and potential presidential rivals - appear to be building strength with conservatives. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky also are pushing to defund the health care law, promoting their efforts among activists in states that will help decide the Republican nomination in 2016.
Political and budget analysts say the push to neuter "Obamacare" has little chance of success: Leading congressional Republicans have openly rejected the strategy, fearing a repeat of 1995, when the GOP forced a government shutdown over spending cuts and resuscitated President Bill Clinton's political career. Moreover, most of the health care law's funding is deemed mandatory, falling outside Congress' annual spending legislation.
Nevertheless, three years after its passage, the health care law remains a potent political issue. Polls show a majority of Americans - and most Republicans - oppose the law.
That helps explain why Rubio drew big applause for his pledge to reject any budget that funds "Obamacare" as he traveled across the Florida Panhandle, a stretch of plantations, farms and beach towns dotted with anti-abortion billboards and homemade anti-Obama signs.
Republican opposition to the health care law was visceral.
"Nobody knows what's in it," said Gerry Maloney, a retired U.S. Air Force general in Jacksonville. "It's just awful."
Some who were angry with Rubio over immigration said they were heartened by his campaign against the health care law.
"He may win us back with that," said Glen Leirer, a retired computer salesman in Panama City, "because that's probably the worst thing."
Indeed, Rubio has turned the issue into a conservative purity test. Before leaving Washington for the August recess, he chastised his fellow Republicans on the Senate floor. "Don't come here and say, `I'm against Obamacare' if you're willing to vote for a budget that funds it," he said. "If you pay for it, you own it."
Rubio says his renewed drive against the health care law has been driven partly by the administration's decisions to delay some key provisions, including a requirement for larger employers to offer health insurance to full-time employees. Those moves, he said, amount to an "admission this law is not ready for prime time."
He also cites the concerns of labor unions, which have asked Congress to change a provision that they say gives employers an incentive to cut workers' hours in order to avoid a health coverage requirement.
Freddie Wehbe, who employs 200 workers at Domino's Pizza franchises in Gainesville, was among several local business owners who told Rubio that they're waiting to hire workers or delaying expansion because of uncertainty about the law's impact on their health insurance costs.
At each stop, Rubio found fervor generally reserved for election years. But, except for a brief mention in Jacksonville, he addressed immigration only when asked about it.
During an interview on a Tallahassee radio show, Rubio tried a new approach. He said that if Congress doesn't pass a reform bill, Obama may be "tempted" to act on his own to legalize the millions of immigrants already here illegally.
"A year from now we could find ourselves with all 11 million people here legally under an executive order from the president, but no E-Verify, no more border security, no more border agents - none of the other reforms that we desperately need," Rubio said, referring to an electronic system for employers to check their workers' legal status.
The show's host thanked Rubio for his response. But he said the listeners emailing him were not impressed.

Tuesday, 20 August 2013 11:29 Published in National NewsFor nearly three decades, the U.S. propped up Mubarak and the Egyptian military with financial and military support. In exchange, Egypt helped protect U.S. interests in the region, including a peace treaty with Israel.
But that long and tangled relationship is now casting a shadow over the Obama administration as it grapples for a coherent Egypt policy following the ouster of Mubarak's democratically elected successor, Mohammed Morsi. The U.S. has refused to call Morsi's ouster a coup - a step that would require President Barack Obama to suspend $1.3 billion in annual military aid.
The U.S. still has not sent $585 million of that aid, and the fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
But State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that delay was not an indication that a policy decision about cutting off aid had been made.
Amid the tumult of Morsi's ouster, Egyptian judicial officials announced Monday that Mubarak could be released from jail later this week. The White House refused to take a position on the status of its former partner, saying it would be inappropriate to comment on a legal matter.
"President Mubarak is part of an ongoing Egyptian legal process right now," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "And because that is a process that is internal to Egypt, it's not something that I'm in a position to comment on from here."
The U.S. has frequently taken positions on legal matters in other countries, including the jailing of Ukraine's former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, the sentencing in Russia of the band Pussy Riot and the arrest of American aid workers in Egypt last year.
Mubarak's release likely would deepen the anger among Morsi's supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement that was illegal under Mubarak.
Morsi, who was removed from power by the military last month, is also in custody. He is being held at an undisclosed location and is facing allegations that he conspired with the Palestinian militant Hamas group to escape from prison in 2011. On Monday, prosecutors also ordered his detention for 15 days in connection with allegations that he conspired to kill and torture protesters during mass demonstrations by the opposition outside his presidential palace in December 2012.
The White House has called for Morsi's release. Earnest on Monday said the detention was "politically motivated" and "not in line with the human rights standards that we expect other governments to uphold."
It's possible that Egyptian officials could keep Mubarak in custody given that the chaos that could result from his release would pose huge risks for the military-backed government. The 85-year-old has been in detention since April 2011 and was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for his failure to stop the killing of some 900 protesters during the revolution that forced him from office.
Mubarak's sentence was overturned on appeal and he is now being retried. Two judicial officials, however, said there no longer will be any grounds to hold the former president if a court accepts a petition by his lawyer requesting his release in a corruption case later this week.
Mubarak's ouster cleared the way for Egypt's first democratic election. Voters backed Morsi, but just one year into his term Egyptians took to the streets to protest, alleging that he gave the Muslim Brotherhood undue influence and failed to live up to his economic promises.
Morsi's ouster has put the Obama administration in the awkward diplomatic position of choosing between U.S. national security interests and its democratic values, particularly given the military's deadly crackdown against Morsi supporters.
The administration seems unlikely to move toward a blanket suspension of its annual military aid. Instead, it appears to be opting for a more piecemeal approach, cutting off the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets and canceling joint U.S-Egyptian military exercises planned for next month.
The administration is also considering suspending about $250 million in annual U.S. economic aid for Egypt, officials said. Congressional notification by the administration could arrive in the next week, said the officials, who weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity.
Congressional lawmakers are split over whether to cut off aid. Democrats were generally supportive of the president's approach, though Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, joined a growing number of Republicans calling for the elimination of military aid.
Just over half of Americans say it is better for the United States to cut off military aid to Egypt in order to put pressure on the government, according to a new Pew Research Center poll. That's nearly double the percentage who prefer the U.S. continue sending military aid to Egypt in order to maintain influence there. ---
