Athletics can expect boost from ASPIRE campaign
JU athletics stands to gain quite a boost from its share of the school's $85 million ASPIRE capital campaign announced Friday.
Several sports will benefit from the more than $17 million being earmarked for facilities involving at least seven sports and a variety of support functions.
"We have aspirations to get better; this is our future,'' JU president Dr. Kerry Romesburg said. "We aspire to greater heights.''
President select Tim Cost noted that all 34 members of the school's Board of Trustees have committed to invest in the campaign.
"We have reached the critical mass of trustee investment and they have committed $43.17 million,'' he said. Cost will take over as President next year.
The athletics arm is only one of five pillars of the entire campaign which already has collected more than $43 million toward its goal. Scholarships and academics, the College of Health Sciences and enhancing campus and student life all are goals.
Four specific areas are to be addressed for athletics.
A $7.5 million basketball and volleyball practice facility; $4.2 million toward Phase I of a football and lacrosse facility; $5.7 million toward a JU Athletic Complex and $200,000 for a softball indoor-outdoor hitting facility all are on the radar.
"To borrow a pun, this will be a game changer,'' Director of Athletics Brad Edwards said. "This will put us on par and beyond some of the schools we compete against.''
While plans for some of the facilities, such as a new football/lacrosse stadium, have been on the drawing board for years, Edwards said current plans will succeed because of the organization of the campaign.
"Now it's a part of an official campaign and we are actively seeking those dollars,'' he said. "That's not going to change. You always aspire to do other things, but what makes this different is it has the official backing of the institution to talk to donors; to solicit the support of the president and the Board and to go find those funds.''
Edwards said it will be difficult to assess the amount of impact the movement might have on the school's sports from recruiting to on the field performance.
"It's immeasurable, but significant is a word that comes to mind,'' he said. "You can relate athletes to almost any buyer. When they step in the store, they are always making observations as to where they are and comparing what they see to the other store they were just in. You want to make sure your product is as good or better as the product they just saw. That's why facilities matter. They give a prospective student-athlete a sense of pride when they bring their families in, when they bring their high school coaches in or their friends. They want to feel good and proud about where they made that decision, where they live, where they compete in and you want places that are safe, state-of-the-art and enhance their ability to get better and develop.''

A controversial topic is back on the table as Saginaw City Council met to discuss ways to reduce the Saginaw's $3.5 million budget deficit.
One of the main targets focuses in on police and fire services, which makes up two-thirds of the general budget.
Right now, Saginaw can not collect more than $3.8 million in taxes to pay its bills, because the city's 7.5-mill tax cap has frozen the millage rate since 1979.
Firefighters fear it could result in big layoffs for both the police and fire departments, including 15 of the 65-member fire department. Saginaw's fire department once staffed more than 100 firefighters.
The largest decrease of firefighters in recent years was 2003, when the city trimmed 14 staff jobs.
The tax cap has been voted on and voted down seven times.

Saints snap up 12-year-old star
7:40am Saturday 23rd February 2013 in Sport
HOT prospect Dan Bartlett has signed a new four-year contract with Saints.
The 12-year-old put pen to paper before Saints' 3-1 win over champions Manchester City earlier this month.
Dan went to the match with his mother Debbie, father Grahame and twin brother Joe.
The family had dinner at the ground and met man of the match Jay Rodrigues.
Although predominantly a midfielder, Dan has excelled as a striker and a defender during his time with Saints.
He trains at the Premier club's Staplewood ground three nights a week and has a day-release from school on Fridays before playing on Sundays.
Dan, a Broadstone Middle School pupil in Bournemouth, started his football career at six-years-old with Corfe Mullen United under-sevens team. He made 21 appearances, scoring 24 goals.
The following season he joined Greenfields and his performances were brought to the attention of scouts from Saints, Chelsea, Portsmouth and Cherries.
He trained for all the clubs before finally concentrating on Saints.
Dan played for the Saints academy's under-9s in the 2008-09 season.
The following year, Dan was top scorer with 46 goals.

The scouts from Chelski, B'muff and the Mighty Saints were professionals. The scout from the Skunts was a boy scout from their ever diminishing crowd.

A look through the squads playing throughout the leagues this weekend and we can see many players who have benefitted from the Academy.
It is the special ones who take the eye and get the headlines.
We are producing more than just stars, there are supporting players who are making a good living because of their training with Saints.
It is always tempting to ask for young players to be put into the first team, but this procss has a timetable and learning from being in the squad and training is as important as playing the actual games.
JWP is a good example of this, he is getting good coaching and a place on the bench to appear in games later on. He doesn't need to be thrown in at the deep end, we have enough players to be able to ease him into set-up.
Aston Villa have a problem because they do not have enough fit experienced players and are having to rely on youth. This is the problem Saints had when Portaaloo was managing and all the youth were used and only 2 or 3 survived, Adam, Spider.
Our U21 team is the proving ground and I am certain that there are future stars coming through, but it is easier to step up to a succesful team and play in squads that are used to success. Buying good quality players to help the youth team is parrt of the process.

Injuries hit the Cincinnati Bengals hard in Friday night's preseason game against the New York Jets, a costly 17-6 win. Starters Carlos Dunlap, Rey Maualuga, Taylor Mays and Travelle Wharton all left the game with injuries. On Saturday, the Bengals reported that the team fears the worst for Wharton, who could be out for the season.
Wharton, a free agent addition from the Carolina Panthers this season, left the game with a knee injury, the first of the four players to leave the field. He was later seen on the sidelines leaning into a pair of crutches, looking disappointed. Details on Wharton's injury have not been released, but the team said on its website that Wharton could be done for the year.
Maualuga and Dunlap suffered knee sprains. The linebacker says that he should be back on the practice field this week, but Dunlap had no update on his status.

A teen, battling a rare disease, just got a chance to have something he's never had before, his own room. With the help of a few good Samaritans, they're making that dream come true.
The look on their faces say it all. The Sweet Dreams Foundation created a stunning dream room for Julian, a teen with a deadly genetic disease called X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
"This morning I came in bright an early before everyone else got here and brought him in the room, sat him down on the carpet and let him just feel everything that was going on in here," says Jenn Richardson, the Sweet Dreams Foundation Founder.
Murals pop from the wall, there's a gate to heaven design that Julian can feel. And the clouds on his ceiling light up.
"You can load a different video and you can change the hue and the color," says a designer as he shows us the control tablet.
The designers say Julian's room was an easy piece to do because he knew exactly what he wanted.
"His dream was heaven and he also loves animals and stuff," says Amy Bagshaw, the muralist.
Many people poured time and money to make Julian's dream room vision a reality. Some of them have never even taken time to visualize their own paradise. Jenn, lives with mom and dad.
"It's actually been a great thing, because realizing how important it is not having your own space," Jenn quips. "But so grateful my parents have let me move in so I can focus on Sweet Dreams."
It'll be a while before Jenn sees her own dream room, and now, there's a chance Julian will never see his. He lost his eyesight just last night, hours before he was supposed to see his new safe haven.
Julian's room came courtesy of the Sweet Dreams Foundation. The California-based charity has done this same thing for several other children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

Thank you to everyone who helped the All Saints Annual Fund by making Give to the Max Day on November 14th, 2013 a huge success for CSS! Your generosity put us more than 30 percent over our goal of $25,000, to a grand total of $33,556.89. Last year on GTMD, we raised $16,000, so you've more than doubled your generosity.
A special thanks to alumni David Hirsch '84 and Dan Seeler '82, whose company Midwest Industrial Coatings, Inc. contributed a $5,000 matching gift.
The marketing of the day, the Telefund callers who called and left messages for our alumni and friends, the word-of-mouth advertising, the advertising across the state from GiveMN.org - all of it lead to one hugely successful GTMD for St. Scholastica.
It was a great day.
Thank you.

What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga is a unique concept where anyone can laugh without reason. We don't rely on sense of humour, jokes or comedy. Developed by Indian physician Dr. Madan Kataria, Laughter Yoga combines laughter exercises with yogic breathing (Pranayama). This allows more oxygen to enter the body making one feel more energetic, healthy and ridding the body of harmful toxins.
We laugh in a group and initiate laughter as a form of exercise. Through eye contact and child-like playfulness, laughter then becomes contagious and real. It is based on the scientifically proven fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake and real laughter. You get the same benefits to your health, even from the first session!
Why practice laughter as a Therapy?
Laughter Yoga helps you laugh through life's challenges. Anything can happen anytime, so it's important to have a strong positive mental attitude ready to deal with any negativity that may come your way.
A natural laugh only lasts in 3-4 second intervals and depends on a real condition that may or may not happen. In a Laughter Yoga session you don't leave laughter to chance. You get real benefits through exercises that provide 10-15 mins of continuous laughter which comes from the diaphragm. Our Joy Boosting class and workshops provide a safe environment and encouraging to learn how to relate to life, heal, rejuvenate and overcome challenges with self-confidence, trust and joy. It's a commitment to your wellbeing.
Why practice Breathwork Therapy?
Correct breathing is the main basis for our good health.
We breathe 24 hours a day, therefore, breathing is our main nutritional source and also the main way for us to cleanse. It is as important, or more, to breathe properly as it is to eat well. Most people's breathing mechanisms are so blocked that they actually just breathe enough to survive, and they do not realize that for this reason their capacity to regenerate, enjoy life and evolve are so seriously impaired.

The final day of the long holiday weekend saw plenty of close finishes and a couple of big upsets. Tonight's schedule is fairly light, but a big intersectional matchup and a pair of SEC vs. Big 12...
Today, the Old Spice Classic and Wooden Legacy wrap up, with a few non-tournament games of note also on the schedule.
This November Saturday dominated by football will be hard pressed to match yesterday's drama, but the teams on the schedule will certainly try.
Anyone wanna play Michigan State or Kansas next year? Or maybe both? Maybe mix in a little Tennessee or a non-conference game against Xavier? All are possible at Walt Disney World next November.
The Cougs have an early wake-up call on Friday. We preview Purdue and offer a place to discuss the game.
Forget about shopping today. There are so many interesting matchups on tap, highlighted by a huge NIT Season Tip-Off final, that you'll just want to sit in your favorite chair to enjoy them.

NEW YORK (AP) - Six college football players have been added as plaintiffs to a high-profile lawsuit that claims the NCAA owes billions of dollars to former players for allowing their likenesses to be used without compensation.
The players are: Vanderbilt linebacker Chase Garnham; Clemson cornerback Darius Robinson; linebacker Jake Fischer and kicker Jake Smith from Arizona; and tight end Moses Alipate and wide receiver Victor Keise of Minnesota.
Former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon is the lead plaintiff in the long-running legal battle that could fundamentally alter how the NCAA operates.
A federal judge in Oakland, Calif., on July 5 allowed the attorneys to update their lawsuit to fix legal technicalities, including adding at least one active player to the lawsuit.
The judge is still mulling whether to turn the lawsuit into a class action.
Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne released this statement:
"We are aware that Jake Smith and Jake Fischer are now plaintiffs in the lawsuit. While we do not support the lawsuit, we support their right to be involved and express their opinion. They are two fine young men and we are glad they are part of our program and University."
Jake Fischer will join head coach Rich Rodriguez at Pac-12 football media day Friday, July 26th in Los Angeles, California.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Nine months after a C-130 went down carrying crew members from the Charlotte-based Air National Guard 145th Airlift wing, the commander of the squadron, as well as other members of the Air National Guard, are talking about the impact it has had on their whole unit. Four men died. Two were severely injured.
"There's no real training for it," says Lt. Col. Brian Ratchford. "You just do the best you can. It's a life changing event. It's something you can never really forget. New emotions. New thoughts. It's better than it was 9 months ago, but it's not… I mean, it's always there. It's always just under the surface."This is the first time the Air National Guard is discussing this crash publicly. Lt. Col. Ratchford spoke candidly with WBTV Anchor Molly Grantham in the middle of a Mooresville coffee shop, surrounded by fifty veterans. Why talk here? Because "Richard's Coffee Shop" invites veterans of all branches of service with open arms. For this particular conversation, men from many decades and wars looked on, none who had ever met Ratchford. They just knew talking about losing friends on a mission is hard.Ratchford was seated in between two women, Lt. Col. Marty Dickens, the Commander of the 263rd Combat Communications Squad, and Lt. Col. Debbie Kidd, a staff Chaplain for the 145th Airlift. Lt. Col. Kidd was one of the chaplains called that night to give death notifications to families.
"That was probably the roughest thing I've done in my career," she said. "To have that scene play out in front of you, like you see in the movies. But we've stayed really connected to the families. Lots of visits. A lot of time you want to hold back the tears, but sharing the tears with them is important. It's really taking the toll now that it's NOT in headlines anymore. Going through Christmas and anniversaries and birthdays, or when the kids graduate high school. It's just hard."
Two planes left Charlotte June 30th, 2012 for South Dakota. They would join more than half the country's wildfire fighting agencies. Each plane – a C-130 Hercules – was equipped with something called MAFFS (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System), a system designed to spray at low altitudes. It could drop 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in 5 seconds.On Sunday, July 1st, after the tankers made two drops of fire retardant on the White Draw Fire in the Black Hills of South Dakota, one of the planes went down in the rocky terrain. The final investigative report said conditions were smoky and tough to fly. It also stated the propeller-driven plane crashed after flying into the severe wind, and the crew should've avoided an approaching storm.It was the first fire-fighting C-130 to go down in the 40-year history of having C-130's equipped with MAFFS.
The man who died were Lt. Col. Paul Mikeal of Mooresville, Master Sgt. Robert Cannon of Charlotte, Major Joe McCormick of Belmont and Major Ryan Scott David of Boone.
"They were all great guys who I loved like brothers," said Lt. Col. Ratchford. "You hear, 'Oh, an Air Force plane went down' or 'Oh, an Air Guard crash and some guys got killed.' No. That's not it. They were neighbors and brothers and cousins and dads and husbands. And to us, they were dear friends and colleagues and professionals we knew to be aviators." He paused. "I was proud to serve with every single one of them. We still honor those guys in every way we can, as often as we can. In fact we have guys TODAY doing things for the survivors. Taking them to appointments. Out for lunch. That sort of thing. It doesn't go away."
Lt. Col. Marty Dickens says the punch hit every gut in her Stanly County Combat Communications Squad, whether they knew the men personally or not.
"It's not just a brotherhood in the cockpit or just in the flying squadron," she said. "It's all throughout the Wing. When we say TGIF, it doesn't mean 'Thank God it's Friday', it means 'The Guard is Family'."
For the record -- these three weren't talking with WBTV because they like the spotlight. They were talking, they said, because they wanted to show when the going gets tough in a military team... their team gets even tighter.
Like many Air National Guard units, this group has quite a history of missions. Just a few months before last summer's crash, they'd been serving months in Afghanistan. They've helped with Hurricane Katrina. Many members have been in war zones multiple times. Recently they were put on standby for Superstorm Sandy. "I sent one email late on a Friday afternoon after Sandy hit," says Lt. Col. Dickens, "Within minutes I had a dozen responses of 'I'll go', 'I'll go', 'I'll go… where do I need to be, when do I need to be there?'. I never have a problem getting volunteers. We all work together to make things happen."

Town Square
Labor Faces Many Obstacles in Its Quest for Justice
Original post made by Oliver Towne on Sep 1, 2013
First, capital (corporations) thrives on the IDEA that we live in a free marketplace where laws of supply and demand hold. This idea is phony, through and through, which is why capital pays so handsomely to have it presented as something other than its phony self.
The idea of free marketplace is phony because it does not exist outside of certain abstract models developed by some economists. There is no free marketplace in the real world when workers are forced to work for someone else or face starvation. There is no free marketplace when workers find they must continue to work their jobs for exploitative wages or else see their children's stomachs go empty.
There is no such thing as a fair contract between free and equal beings when workers are forced to work or continue working for exploitative wages, under coercive, unhealthful, inhumane conditions. There is nothing free about workers having to settle for less because to not do so would mean total devastation for themselves and their families.
The game has been and continues to be rigged by capital. Capital says, "Work for us at these exploitative wages or we will hire some other desperate soul who will; and if these wages are rejected even by the most desperate in this society, we will go overseas in order to exploit labor elsewhere even if it means exploiting children."
Second, many are susceptible to the ruse of (corporate) capital because they do not know any better. This is no accident. Capital spends a great deal of its profits (excess from workers' labor) so as to own and control the flow of information within society. Capital owns and controls today's mass media, and capital maintains its ownership and control through a carefully attended to working relationship with those it serves -- advertisers, for example.
The upshot from the symbiotic relationship between capital and media control of information is that people's ideas about the world become skewed. Rather than form judgments and courses of action that are founded upon truth, they instead think and act like audiences at a professional wrestling match. Individuals, after all, cannot be in Munich, Cairo and Pleasanton all at the same time. But the corporate media can be, which makes us all highly dependent on the corporate media's cut on things.
Our dependence on today's corporate media means we are not subjected to anything that refers to the significance of social class. We live in a class-divided society, of course, but we do not read about this in the media. For if we were to discuss chronic problems in society in terms of social class division, social class exploitation, social class struggle, we would soon find a way to change the game that is ongoingly fixed by those who have rigged the game in their favor.
So, today, labor faces an uphill struggle. Not only must workers labor under conditions that human beings should not be faced to endure, but they have very few means by which to speak the truth to (corporate) power. The powerful corporate media company, the New York Times, will offer its once-a-year watered down Labor Day piece while avoiding any discussion about why and how capital has succeeded in turning workers against workers (e.g., private workers v. public workers) in our society. And smaller media venues will lose sleep in their efforts to ensure that labor's voice is effectively muted, disappearing readers' expressed ideas, and doing so without providing rationale (for there usually is none).
There are hopeful signs on the horizon. Two days ago tens of thousands of fast food workers staged a work stoppage and marched in nearly 60 cities. It is ordinarily easy to 'disappear' these workers, ignore them, despite the fast-food service industry being America's greatest growth sector over the past two decades as manufacturing has plummeted and retail sales has remained flat.
The response by the corporate media has been predictable. One by one they trot out a legion of 'commentators' who exclaim, 'Wow, if fast-food workers make $15 an hour instead of $8, how will they be able to pay for a bump of .18 cents on a hamburger?' This is the same worry that is expressed every time the Democrat party, in response to American labor's organized push, attempts to raise the minimum wage. What happens after a bump in minimum wage? Not much beyond workers having a few more bucks to spend on baby formula, diapers, a gallon of milk at the grocery store.
The physical presence of these workers, tied to below poverty line wages and forced to endure inhuman conditions of work, impossible work scheduling, and arbitrary firings, is a hopeful sign for America. Because these tired and desperate workers are America. They and those who came before them have built America through sweat, tears and blood, and today their coming together with a unified voice represents a real challenge for capital and its media servants. To what lengths will capital go to suppress workers' voice? How many strikes will it ignore? How many stories or opinions that expose the exploitative nature of capital will it feel the need to squash?
Despite the insecurity of capital's ownership and control, made apparent by its relentless efforts to suppress the voice of labor, the struggle to bring about justice in this world continues. For no ideology, however uniform in its media presentation, puts bread on the table; no desperate disappearing of citizens' opinions does anything to alleviate the hunger of children in this world. That is why labor's struggles will continue. If you can't lend a hand in this struggle, kindly step aside. Justice for all is on the horizon.

"where it keeps labor disorganized and voiceless" Yet fast food workers walked out together.
"workers are forced to work for someone else or face starvation"
"workers are forced to work or continue working for exploitative wages, under coercive, unhealthful, inhumane conditions"
If by forced you mean they are unskilled or uneducated or take the jobs that are available to them.
"how will they be able to pay for a bump of .18 cents on a hamburger" What are the demographics on those buying those hamburgers? No regard, as in BART, for those who actually buy (use) these products (services) and cannot afford the increases. (Except the employees may benefit from free/discounted food (services).
"so as to own and control the flow of information within society"
"makes us all highly dependent on the corporate media's cut on things" Social media shows us otherwise.
"alleviate the hunger of children in this world" But you must not want to feed them, at least not anyone earning a living in another country via American corporations.
"If you can't lend a hand in this struggle, kindly step aside. Justice for all is on the horizon." So buy into your "argument" or step aside? That's not how the world works. How will this bring justice for all?

Mike Cherry continues his ludicrous tirades. This from the one that has used so many aliases to post that he himself has lost count.
His comments regarding, "There are hopeful signs on the horizon. Two days ago tens of thousands of fast food workers staged a work stoppage and marched in nearly 60 cities. It is ordinarily easy to 'disappear' these workers, ignore them, despite the fast-food service industry being America's greatest growth sector over the past two decades as manufacturing has plummeted and retail sales has remained flat" ignores the facts that most fast food restaurants are franchises owned by individuals. As opposed to those workers employed by the restaurant, the owner has sunk his/her money into the endeavor and has worked 24/7 for many years to make it successful, all without time off or any assurances that they would succeed. It still comes down to an individual's willingness to learn and work, not an individual's wish without any effort. Real compensation is and always has been tied to the value of the work that is done. Except when government or unions get involved. Does Mike wonder why the fast food industry (in his words) is "America's greatest growth sector"? A major part of the growth can be attributed to the fact that the food is reasonably priced allowing all to afford it.
If you ever wonder where our manufacturing jobs went, you might want to query government and unions. In essence they've priced many an industry out of business with wage demands that exceed the value of the work.

Until Mike Cherry (or whatever other aliases he chooses) actually believes in his tirades and becomes a registered member, he will continue to be taken as the village imbecile, continued ranting with nothing to back his ranting's.

A developed counterargument? Nope, cuz Kath ain't got none. Her only resort is to toss more mud on the wall in the form of scatter-brained questions that go nowhere. Let's see how long PW editors allow this to go on before they close off the site to protect her as they have done to others.
Most of the questions Kath poses could be answered by herself or any other grade schooler with equivalent intelligence. Beginning with her first question, she reveals she hasn't read my opinion piece with any understanding. She asks how fast-food workers could have walked out in unison when corporate media attempts to keep workers divided. But I address this: propaganda works only to a certain extent. In the final analysis, we believe the pain in our stomachs more than the ideologically saturated swill that passes for media-manufactured information. File this under: Kath has poor reading comprehension skills.
Her next 'question' is telling. You see, Kath prefers to see unskilled and undereducated workers go hungry. On Kath's view of the world, unskilled workers and their kids deserve this fate. Nice, Kath. File this under: As long as Kath gets hers, the 'unskilled' ones -- you know, like the fast-food worker who posted yesterday, who can communicate in three languages, and who thoroughly embarrassed the 'skilled' and 'educated' Kath -- can go starve for all she cares.
Finally, Kath apparently doesn't realize the effects of corporate reach within the third world. She might take note of how indigenous peoples have often done very well until capital moves in with, for example, commercial agricultural operations that decimate local economies. See Monsanto.
So, I'm forced to make the plea again. Can someone with intelligence help Kath out? No, I'm not talking about editors disappearing my comments or shutting down a topic yet once again as soon as she finds herself in trouble. I'm talking about an intelligent, well-read contributor who has something of substance to say in her defense. Please, step forward. Or perhaps there are none?

Rockies adapt to wintry conditions
Simulated game and batting practice held indoors on Sunday
DENVER -- The weather outside was frightful and the snow was not so delightful for the Rockies' practice plans Sunday at Coors Field.Denver awoke Sunday morning to snow on the ground, and the Rockies had to take their scheduled simulated game indoors and hit in the cage instead. While Brian Fuentes took advantage of the snow with a headfirst dive on the snow-covered infield tarp, several Rockies had their minds on something other than baseball -- mostly watching Sunday football and ... "Good hunting weather," Todd Helton said. Helton and crew have to put their mid-October hunting plans on hold, as they've got a World Series to play. Sunday could be a preview of the World Series games at Coors Field. An October snow is a regular occurrence in Denver. However, the weather can change quickly in Denver, which it did Sunday. By 1 p.m. MT, the sun came out and the winter weather was on its way out. By 2 p.m., the snow had almost completely melted off the field thanks to the sunshine and a field warming system under Coors Field that warms the field to 60 degrees.
"The plan was to plow snow this afternoon, but Mother Nature helped us," Coors Field head groundskeeper Mark Razum said.
The field warming system is usually used in February to help warm the soil and get the grass green, but the Rockies' grounds crew fired up the system this week.
Razum said Sunday that if a game had been scheduled for Sunday night, the grounds crew could have had the field prepared by a 6 or 6:30 p.m. MT game time. The grounds crew also uses growth blankets overnight to keep the grass and turf from freezing.
That should not be problem this week. The weather.com forecast calls for temperatures to be back in the mid-70s by Wednesday.After a chance of showers on Friday, the forecast for Saturday's Game 3 at Coors Field is partly cloudy with a high of 59 degrees during the day and an overnight low of 42. For Sunday's Game 4, weather.com forecasts it to be sunny in Denver with a high of 65 degrees and a low of 42, and sunny with a high of 66 and a low of 42 on Monday for Game 5. "We don't play here for another week, and you know how the weather is here," forecaster Helton said. "It could be 80 degrees next week." If the Rockies have to play in cold, snowy weather, it's nothing they're not used to. For many players who have come up through Triple-A Colorado Springs, that's the norm early in the season. Rockies Ubaldo Jimenez, Ryan Speier, Matt Herges, Ryan Spilborghs, Jeff Baker, Seth Smith and Cory Sullivan all started the 2007 season with the Sky Sox.

A 54-year-old man was struck and killed by a car while he was walking along a Golden Gate Estates road early Thursday morning.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Thomas Thompson was hit by a 1998 Chrysler Sebring as he was walking west on White Boulevard, just west of 31st Street Southwest. State troopers say he died at the scene.
The driver of the car, 20-year-old Mathew Hamberger of Naples, reportedly did not see Thompson walking in the roadway.
Charges are pending in the crash, according to FHP.
The narrow road where this accident took place has no street lights or sidewalks, and neighbors said it's tricky to navigate when pedestrians are in the area.
"We've almost hit head on -- other cars -- because of pedestrians riding on the shoulder of the road," said driver Jordan Cottrell.
This is the fourth pedestrian death in Southwest Florida in the last week.
