Schroeder, Lake Zurich battle past Buffalo Grove May 31, 2014 5:19 PM
If Maria Schroeder's soft liner had been hit 3 feet to the left, the Lake Zurich senior third baseman would have had her single. Alas, it was caught. So Schroeder had to settle for three-quarters of a cycle in this regional title battle with Buffalo Grove on Saturday morning. She led off the Lake Zurich first with a long double. She batted again in the second inning and slammed a triple to right center. And in her last at-bat of the day at Glenbrook South, she came to plate with runners on second and third. The Bison elected to pitch to her even with first base open. And Schroeder made BG pay when she smoked a liner over the left field wall. It was good for a 3-run homer. Schroeder's hitting heroics backed up Olivia Schneider's 3-hit pitching as Lake Zurich (26-4) stopped Buffalo Grove 4-0.
Barrington edges BG for sixth straight sectional crown May 30, 2014 11:20 PM
Nearly two months of waiting saw the two giants of Mid-Suburban League girls soccer meet on Friday night in the championship match of the Class 3A Libertyville sectional final: No. 1 seed Buffalo Grove vs. No. 2. Barrington. There could be no doubt that this was who everyone figured would be in this much-anticipated contest. Colleen Zickert finally broke the resistance Barrington's defense to bring the Bison (22-3-3) close at 44 minutes but the Fillies' Jenna Szczesny had already put the shine of the silverware with two first-half strikes to give Barrington a hard-fought 2-1 victory. It was the sixth straight sectional crown for the Fillies (18-3-1), who will meet New Trier at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Hersey supersectional with a chance to return to the final four of the state tournament.
Buffalo Grove tandem bows out of state tourney May 30, 2014 10:32 PM
There can be no doubting that Buffalo Grove's doubles team of Peter Georgiades and Anton Levitin played beyond its wildest expectations during the first day of the state tournament. Georgiades and Levitin went all the way though to the round of 16 on their home court, but their hopes were dashed Friday in Palatine by Edwardsville in two long sets. After falling in their quarterfinal to 5-8 seed David Zakhodin/Miguel Perez of Glenbrook North at Buffalo Grove, the Bison (30-6) were eliminated with a 7-5, 7-6 (5) loss to the Tigers.

Buffalo Grove duo makes the grade May 29, 2014 10:39 PM
After match point, you had to know something good had just happened when Peter Georgiades practically broke the 100-meter record with his mad dash into the building at Buffalo Grove. The Bison senior couldn't wait to get inside to tell a teacher that both he and doubles partner Anton Levitin had just stunned favored Thomas Hanley/Wyatt Mayer of New Trier in three sets to earn a spot in today's round of 16. It's the first time a player or team from BG has advanced that deeply in the boys tennis state tournament since 2008.
Buffalo Grove eager for regional final test May 29, 2014 9:35 PM
Buffalo Grove's softball team has already played for a conference title this spring. Now the Mid-Suburban East champs will be playing for a Class 4A regional championship at Glenbrook South. And the No. 6-seeded Bison sees it a special opportunity. "I'm so excited to play on Saturday," said Buffalo Grove junior pitcher Julia Camardo, who tossed a nifty 4-hitter to top No. 11 Deerfield 4-1. "Coach (Jamie) Paul said it is the first time in a long time that we are playing for a regional championship."

That contest is now scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Russia closes 'best ever' Games under Crimea shadow
A Russian honor guard stands near a US flag during an awarding ceremony after the Sledge Hockey Final match between Russia and USA at XI Paralympic Olympic games in the Shayba stadium close to the city of Sochi on March 15, 2014 - by Kirill Kudryavtsev
The ceremony took place on the same day as the controversial referendum in Crimea on the Ukrainian region -- just across the Black Sea from Sochi -- becoming part of Russia, underlining how the spectre of the Ukraine crisis has never been far from these Games.
The closing ceremony at the Fisht stadium in Sochi, attended by President Vladimir Putin, marked the end of Russia's Olympics which began on February 7 with the opening ceremony for the Olympic Winter Games.
The fire in the Olympic cauldron was extinguished and the flag given to the next Winter Olympic hosts PyeongChang in South Korea, bringing a close to a journey that began in 2007 when Putin won the right to host the Winter Games.
Putin, who spearheaded the bid to host both the Olympic Winter Games and the Winter Paralympic Games, was present in the VIP stands at the closing ceremony but in line with protocol did not make any comment.
The hosts basked in the glory of easily topping the medals table with 30 golds, well ahead of second placed Germany who won nine. Ukraine also performed strongly, coming fourth with five golds.
-'Liberating Games'-
In a huge compliment to Russia, International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Sir Philip Craven closed the Games by declaring them the "best Paralympic Winter Games ever".
He said that the Paralympic spirit had "united and infected us all in Sochi" and the Games were so special that "no-one wants them to end".
But he also said that Sochi had with the Paralympics been "transformed into a barrier-free city" and had become a model for the rest of Russia.
"Do you sense a greater degree of liberation? Well I do, I can tell you," he said to cheers from the crowd.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak in his speech said that both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi "will long stay in in the hearts of people all over the planet."
"We prepared seven long years for this spectacle and all our obligations were fulfilled right on time," said Kozak.
"The time has come to say goodbye but we will meet again. Welcome in Russia!"
The closing ceremony began with a dazzling choreographed routine of wheelchairs as dancers soared on wires high above and continued with dancers defying disabilities to perform astonishing routines like Cossack dances in an out of wheelchairs.
-'I'm possible'-
Perhaps the biggest highlight came when star Russian Paralympian Alexei Chuvashev rose from his wheelchair to climb a pole high above the stadium's field.
Chuvashev lost both his legs during an operation against militants in Chechnya in 2008 but has now become a top Paralympic rower, winning bronze at London 2012 in adaptive rowing.
He climbed the pole using his vast upper body strength towards vast letters hung above the stadium spelling the word "impossible".
He nudged an apostrophe into position to make the world read: "I'm possible".
The eclectic closing ceremony mixed rock music, imaged inspired by artists like the Russian abstract master Wassily Kandinsky and classic tracks by the likes of Sergei Prokofiev.
Yet the Games also never escaped the shadow of the standoff in Ukraine, where pro-Russia forces seized the Crimea peninsula in defiance of the international community.
In a symbolic but low-key protest, Ukrainian athletes had throughout the Games covered their medals with the palms of their hands at award ceremonies.
Putin had earlier thanked sporting officials "for keeping the Paralympics away from politics".
Kozak declared that both Winter Games had showed off a new "modern Russia" but for many the Games will always be linked with the controversy over Russia's actions in Ukraine.

Let's face it, Mobile World Congress [MWC] Barcelona 2014 did well. Attendance was up by 18 per cent compared to 2013. Event organisers, the GSMA, announced that over 80,000 visitors from 201 countries attended the 2014 event plus more than 5,000 people participated in a range of partner programmes. As the dust settles on MWC 2014, GoMo News talked with Andrew Skinner who is relationship director for Technology, Media & Telecoms (TMT) at Barclays [Bank], about the major themes from this year's show. These included wearable technology (no surprises there); 4G; IoT [Internet of Things]; NFC [Near Field Communication] – as well as security, of course.
In terms of security and privacy, Samsung announcing its secure Knox solution for mobile devices. Then there was Boeing's Blackphone which cclaims to be super secure.
Mobile devices, owned by corporations and employees alike as a rseult of BOYD [Bring Your Own Device] implementations, will increasingly be used to access sensitive corporate networks and data via such solutions.
"It will be fascinating to see how uptake and adoption of secure devices and services evolves in the next twelve months, and whether companies are genuinely planning to place more emphasis on mobile device security," Skinner observed.
Wearable technology was fairly prevalent at the show, but with many devices seemingly aimed primarily at promoting healthy living.
"Sony's SmartBand promises to track everything in a user's life and Samsung unveiled no less than three different variations of smartwatch – all of which extend the functionality of mobile technology," Skinner added.
4G is still being pushed heavily by mobile network operators [MNOs] and handset vendors alike.
Especially as as huge investments are made in not only the infrastructure to support it.
That's not to say, however, LTE isn't still without its issues. Meanwhile some people at MWC 2014 were certainly talking about 5G as it's also being heavily invested in.
Skinner says, "The EU is pushing for roll-out plans to be ready by 2015, but we're probably a few years off this becoming a reality."
At MWC 2014, NFC was being promoted heavily by the GSMA and there were even NFC enabled sleeves for iPhones available for free, so iPhone users could take advantage of the NFC access points across the conference hall.
Finally there as the Internet of Things [IoT], which is slowly gaining traction, which was a strikingly common theme at the show.
"The number of 'connected cars' on display at MWC this year just goes to show how interwoven disparate industries are becoming as connectivity becomes an essential component of virtually every product," Skinner reckons.
He continued, "From the connected home, to the GSMA's Connected City stand, every 'thing' is effectively becoming an extension of communications devices, or vice versa."
"At Barclays we'll be watching with interest to see which of these technologies companies invest in this year [2014], and whether they can drive widespread adoption."

Police seek to question McBride publisher Iain Dale
The publisher of Damian McBride's memoirs is facing questions from police after tussling with a protester as the former spin doctor gave a live television interview.
Iain Dale, of Biteback Publishing, scuffled with Stuart Holmes on Brighton seafront as he tried to get the veteran campaigner's anti-nuclear banner out of shot.
Sussex Police said this evening it was "seeking to interview a man in connection with an assault".
Mr Dale, writing on his blog, said the protester - a familiar face to conference-goers for 30 years - was an "idiot" and said he had only done "what any self-respecting publisher would do" by stepping in.

Citycon Oyj(Citycon or the Company) announced on 13 May 2014that Cityconand CPP Investment Board European Holdings S.À r.l (CPPIBEH), a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, have on 12 May 2014entered into an agreement on an overall arrangement whereby Cityconwould strengthen its balance sheet by raising approximately EUR 400 millionof new capital and CPPIBEH would become a significant strategic shareholder in Citycon. The arrangement consists of a directed share issue of approximately EUR 206.4 millionto CPPIBEH as well as a subsequent fully underwritten rights issue of approximately EUR 196.5 millionpursuant to the pre-emptive subscription right of the Companys shareholders (together the Transaction). The Transaction was conditional on the granting of necessary authorisations and election of new Board members by an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Citycon. The EGM held on 6 June 2014passed the necessary resolutions, including an authorisation for the Board of Directors of Cityconto decide on a directed share issue to CPPIBEH as well as a rights issue based on the pre-emptive subscription right of shareholders. Directed share issue The Board of Directors of Cityconhas on 8 June 2014decided on a directed share issue of approximately EUR 206.4 millionbased on the authorisation granted by the EGM on 6 June 2014(the "Directed Share Issue"). Cityconwill offer 77,874,355 new shares (Directed Issue Shares) to CPPIBEH in deviation from the shareholders pre-emptive subscription right. The Directed Issue Shares represent approximately 17.6 per cent of the total number of shares and voting rights in the Company prior to the Directed Share Issue, and approximately 15.0 per cent of the total number of shares and voting rights in the Company after the Directed Share Issue. The subscription price is EUR 2.65per share. The subscription price has been agreed in negotiations between CPPIBEH and the Company and the Company believes that it represents a fair price in light of other equity issues in the real estate sector in Europein the past and reflects the historical average trading prices of the Company over the last six (6) months. The subscription price is approximately 2.2 per cent lower than the closing price of the Companys share on 12 May 2014, the date preceding the announcement of the Transaction, and approximately 1.7 per cent higher than the dividend adjusted volume-weighted average trading price of the Companys share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.during the three (3) months preceding the announcement of the Transaction. The subscription price will be recorded in its entirety in the invested unrestricted equity fund of the Company. CPPIBEH will subscribe and pay for the Directed Issue Shares and the Board of Directors of Cityconwill approve the share subscriptions today, on 9 June 2014. The Directed Issue Shares will entitle their holder to full dividends declared by the Company, if any, and to other shareholder rights in the Company after the Directed Issue Shares have been registered with the Finnish Trade Registerand recorded in the Companys shareholders register, on or about 10 June 2014. Thus, the Directed Issue Shares will entitle CPPIBEH to participate in the rights issue described below, the record date of which is 12 June 2014. Following the registration of the Directed Issue Shares, the total number of shares outstanding in the Company will amount to 519,162,367 shares. In order to list the Directed Issue Shares, Cityconhas prepared a prospectus that is expected to be approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authoritytoday, on 9 June 2014. Public trading in the Directed Issue Shares is expected to commence on or about 11 June 2014. Rights issue The Board of Directors of Cityconhas on 8 June 2014decided on a rights issue of approximately EUR 196.5 millionbased on the authorisation granted by the EGM on 6 June 2014(the "Rights Issue"). Cityconwill offer a maximum of 74,166,052 new shares (New Shares) in accordance with the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right. The New Shares to be issued in the Rights Issue represent a maximum of approximately 14.3 per cent of the total shares and voting rights in the Company after the registration in the Trade Registerof the Directed Issue Shares on or about 10 June 2014and approximately 12.5 per cent of the total shares and voting rights in the Company after the Rights Issue assuming that the Rights Issue is subscribed in full. CPPIBEH, who as a result of the Directed Share Issue will own 77,874,355 shares in the Company on the record date of the Rights Issue, and the two other largest shareholders of the Company, Gazit-Globe Ltd. and Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, have undertaken, subject to certain conditions, to subscribe for their respective pro rata share of the New Shares to be issued in the Rights Issue as follows: CPPIBEH 11,124,907 New Shares, Gazit-Globe Ltd. 31,082,098 New Sharesand Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company5,659,341 New Shares. The three subscription undertakings represent in the aggregate approximately 64.5 per cent of the maximum amount of New Shares to be issued in the Rights Issue. In addition, Gazit-Globe Ltd. and CPPIBEH (the Underwriters) have provided underwriting commitments according to which they commit, subject to certain conditions, to underwrite the Rights Issue up to an aggregate subscription price of EUR 42.6 millionand EUR 27.1 million, respectively (less the subscription price for any New Shares potentially subscribed for in the secondary subscription). The underwriting by CPPIBEH will only apply to New Shares to be issued in the Rights Issue that may remain unsubscribed for after the underwriting commitment provided by Gazit-Globe Ltd. has been used in full. The subscription price for the New Shares is EUR 2.65per New Share. The subscription price is the same as in the Directed Share Issue. The subscription price will be recorded in its entirety in the invested unrestricted equity fund of the Company. The subscription period begins on 17 June 2014at 9:30 a.m.(Finnish time) and ends on 2 July 2014at 4:30 p.m.(Finnish time). Shareholders of the Company who are registered in the shareholders register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd.on the record date of 12 June 2014, shall automatically receive one (1) freely transferable subscription right (Subscription Right) in the form of a book-entry for every one (1) share owned on the record date. Each seven (7) Subscription Rights will entitle their holders to subscribe for one (1) New Share. Trading in the Subscription Rights on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltdwill commence on 17 June 2014at 9:30 a.m.(Finnish time) and end on 25 June 2014at 6:30 p.m.(Finnish time). Further, a shareholder or other investor, including any of the Underwriters, who has subscribed for New Shares based on the primary subscription right, is entitled to subscribe for New Shares not subscribed for by virtue of the primary subscription right in the secondary subscription. The ex rights date for the Rights Issue is on 10 June 2014. The prospectus for the Rights Issue is expected to be published on or about 13 June 2014. Cityconwill announce the final result of the Rights Issue through a stock exchange release on or about 8 July 2014. Public trading in the New Shares subscribed for in the Rights Issue based on the primary subscription right as interim shares is expected to commence on or about 3 July 2014. The interim shares will be combined with the existing shares of the Company on or about 9 July 2014and public trading in the New Shares is expected to commence on or about 10 July 2014. The full terms and conditions of the Rights Issue are set out in the appendix to this release. Pohjola Bank plc is acting as the lead manager of the Rights Issue (the Lead Manager). Cityconhas entered into a lock-up agreement with the Lead Manager under which it has, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to issue or sell any shares in Cityconfor a period ending 180 days after the closing of the Rights Issue. The Company has also on 12 May 2014entered into a lock-up agreement with CPPIBEH under which it has, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to issue or sell any shares in Cityconfor a period ending 270 days after the date of the Rights Issue prospectus. CPPIBEH has also agreed on a lock-up under which it has, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to sell or transfer any shares in Cityconfor a period ending 270 days after said date. Use of proceeds The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Directed Share Issue and Rights Issue to make an approximately EUR 300 milliondebt repayment thereby further deleveraging the Companys balance sheet and giving it the freedom to recycle capital accretively by pursuing select acquisitions and (re)development projects of supermarket-anchored shopping centres in dense urban locations in the Nordic and Balticregions as well as proactive asset management and other value-added activities. The Directed Share Issue enables the Company to raise large amount of equity capital within a short timeframe and on terms deemed more favourable than those which might have been achieved through a standard equity issue. The Company believes that the addition of a globally recognised real estate investor as one of its strategic shareholders will also increase Citycons profile as a shopping centre industry leader, which should enhance the Companys attractiveness to investors. In addition, the agreement entered into between CPPIBEHand Gazit-Globe Ltd. in connection with the Transaction on the parties objectives in certain governance matters relating to the Company should further enhance the Companys corporate governance structure to reflect the highest international market standards. There are, therefore, weighty financial reasons from the Companys perspective for deviating from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders in the Directed Share Issue. In addition, the Companys shareholders are offered the possibility to invest in the Company at the same subscription price through the subsequent Rights Issue. Adjustment to the EPRA Earnings and EPRA EPS (basic) outlook based on the Transaction According to the outlook announced by Cityconon 24 April 2014, the Company forecasted its EPRA Earnings to increase by EUR 2to 10 million in 2014 compared to 2013 and its EPRA EPS (basic) to be EUR 0.20-0.22in 2014 based on the existing number of shares. Following the Transaction impacting both earnings and number of shares, Cityconadjusts the EPRA Earnings and EPRA EPS (basic) forecasts. Assuming that the Directed Share Issue is completed and the Rights Issue is subscribed in full, Cityconnow forecasts that its EPRA Earnings will increase by EUR 7to 15 million and its EPRA EPS (basic) will be EUR 0.175-0.195based on the existing property portfolio and the increased number of shares after the completion of the Transaction. Adjustment of the terms and conditions of the 2011 stock options In order to ensure the equal treatment of shareholders and the holders of the Companys 2011 stock options, the Board of Directors of the Company has on 8 June 2014, due to the Rights Issue, adjusted the subscription ratio and the subscription price of the 2011 stock options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2011 stock options. Provided that the Directed Share Issue is completed and the Rights Issue is executed in full as described in the terms and conditions of the Rights Issue, the subscription price for stock options 2011AD(I) shall be adjusted to EUR 2.7820per share and the subscription ratio to 1.3446. As regards stock options 2011AD(II), the subscription price shall be adjusted to EUR 2.8862per share and the subscription ratio shall be adjusted to 1.3446. As regards stock options 2011AD(III), the subscription price shall be adjusted to EUR 2.3804per share and the subscription ratio shall be adjusted to 1.3446. The total amount of shares is rounded down to full shares in connection with the subscription of the shares and the total subscription price is calculated using the rounded amount of shares and rounded to the closest cent. Due to the above adjustments, the adjusted maximum total number of shares to be subscribed for based on the 2011 stock options shall be 9,748,350. The foregoing adjustment to the terms and conditions of the 2011 stock options due to the Rights Issue will be effective as of its registration in the Trade Registeron or about 9 July 2014, provided that the Rights Issue is executed in full as described in the terms and conditions of the Rights Issue.

Are there differences among different generic tablets of Adderall?
- Q: I have been taking Adderall 30 mg once a day. The generic, amphetamine salts, came from Barr manufacturer. When I filled my new prescription, the manufacturer is Eon Labs. The tablets are a different shape, but the same color. Have there been complaints regarding this generic? Earlier in the year, I received my prescription from a different manufacturer, I can not remember the name, and the pill was round and pink. I noticed a huge difference when I took the medication in the fact that it did not last as long and when it wore off, I was more irritable and jittery. I find that the same thing is happening with this one also.
- A: Generic drugs are copies of brand name drugs that have exactly the same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength as the original drug. In other words, the pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand name counterparts. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that generic medications be as safe and effective as the brand name drugs. Sometimes, generic versions of a drug have different colors, flavors, or combinations of inactive ingredients than the original medications. Trademark laws in the United States do not allow the generic drugs to look exactly like the brand name preparation, but the active ingredients must be the same in both preparations, ensuring that both have the same medicinal effects. Despite the fact that the active ingredient in a generic drug is the same as in the brand name drug, small differences could affect how the generic medication works in your body. This may be due to how the generic medication is produced or the type and amount of inactive materials present in the medication. For some people, the slight differences may cause the drug to be less effective or lead to side effects. Lori, PharmD

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As Mike Aviles left the JetBlue Park complex Tuesday afternoon, living the life as the Red Sox' starting shortstop, he was congratulated on his latest lot in life.
"Thanks," he said. "I won't let you guys down."
This is Aviles. Well-meaning. Driven. Confident. Slight chip on the shoulder.
For some who continue to simply watch the shortstop out of the corner of their eye while waiting for the next round of Jose Iglesias glove magic, Aviles is still the guy who only cost Yamaico Navarro and contributed to the Red Sox' late-season collapse in 2011 with a couple of baserunning boo-boos.
His foray into the opportunity to be the Red Sox' starting shortstop wasn't like Orlando Cabrera, Edgar Renteria, Alex Gonzalez, Julio Lugo, Jed Lowrie, or Marco Scutaro. His existence was viewed more in a Nick Green sort of light, a shortstop who could play the position, but only until somebody more suited for the part showed up.
Another comparison that will be thrown out in regard to Aviles' existence is that of Alex Cora. It was Cora who saved Dustin Pedroia in that first part in '07, starting 19 of the 32 games he played in during the opening two months. He hit .360 with a .407 on-base percentage in April, while Pedroia was hitting .182 in his 19 starts in that initial month.
Like Aviles, Cora was 31 years old when getting his chance, having lived the life of a starter (albeit at second base) four years before.
But, watching Aviles this spring, you don't get the vibe that he is ready to spend what's left of his big league career as a placeholder. He seems like he could be something more, whether it's with this team, at this position or another once the Iglesias debate becomes less of a debate.
The arguments against Aviles begin and end with his fielding prowess. For some, he gives too much of the appearance of a shortstop/third base hybrid, physically thicker than the typical major leaguer playing the position. (It should be noted that Aviles is actually five pounds lighter than when he last served as a starting shortstop, in 2008 with the Royals).
The concern with Kansas City centered around his throwing. It was erratic. He started 89 games at short for that Royals team back in '08 but finished with 10 errors and a .974 fielding percentage. Then came Tommy John surgery, and the adjustments regarding his ability to find first base only got more complicated.
But what has happened -- as has been evidenced this past month -- is Aviles taking the route so many other players who have gone through Tommy John, finding the accuracy of his arm to return over time while discovering more velocity.
He has shown good hands thus far, making just one error (a throwing miscue), while participating in eight double plays. (There will be an additional test once arriving in Boston, however, as it is universally believed the JetBlue Park infield is far superior to that of Fenway Park.)
Still, with spring training still being spring training, the perception of Aviles doesn't figure to be changing. All fans have are video clips of Iglesias playing Michael Jordan to Aviles' Jimmy Chitwood during infield drills, and a bunch of semi-meaningless spring training stats.
Just because Iglesias was sent down doesn't mean the arguments regarding who should be starting shortstop will subside. All some want to see is the Red Sox -- one of the richest teams in baseball -- are starting the season with a guy who came into pro ball via a $1,000 signing bonus (Iglesias' was $6 million), is making barely more than $1 million ($1.2 million), and, once again, was acquired for Yamaico Navarro.
He is hardly viewed as the one Theo Epstein-acquired shortstop that exceeded expectations.
Some of the opinions stem from Aviles' past, while quite a few emanate from Iglesias' future. But, as we sit here, some stock of the situation should be taken.
Question: If Marco Scutaro was still here, would we be saying Iglesias should be rushed to the majors?
Answer: No.
Question: Is Aviles a better overall option at shortstop right now, based on what we've seen this spring, than Scutaro?
Answer: Could be.
Aviles' arm is far superior to Scutaro's. His hands might be behind those of Scutaro (who now starts for the Rockies), but it should be noted that the fielding percentage Aviles totaled as the Royals' everyday shortstop was better than what Scutaro turned in last year. And hitting? This is where it gets interesting when talking about the new Sox starter.
Scutaro served his purpose in many ways while in the Red Sox lineup, adequately filling voids at the leadoff spot while managing the sixth-best OPS of any shortstop in baseball last season. He took nearly four pitches per plate appearance in each of the past three seasons, fitting in with the Red Sox' overall hitting philosophy. (He swung at the first pitch the third-fewest times on the team in '11.)
Aviles is different.
Patience has never been the shortstop's game at the plate, with an average of 3.4 pitches per plate appearance over his career. Also, during Aviles' brief time in Boston last season, few Red Sox players offered at the first pitch more than he did (25 percent of the time).
But he hits. When given the opportunity to play, he always has. In that '08 season, after which he finished fourth in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting, Aviles managed an .833 OPS. Other than Nomar Garciaparra and two years of John Valentin, no Sox shortstop since 1974 has had that type of offensive year.
It should also be noted that, despite his ill-timed baserunning miscues in '11, Aviles has one of the best stolen base percentages in the American League since '08, swiping 37 bases in 49 attempts.
We may hit May and realize this was closer to the Cora/Pedroia situation. April has been Aviles' worst month -- .210 with a .237 on-base percentage -- while Iglesias might very well feed off the familiarity of Triple-A along with a encouraging spring training. (He did, for instance, draw walks after falling behind 0-2 on two occasions, marking a first for his career.)
But, then again, the Red Sox might have found something here.
Good enough to start. Good enough to make a positive difference. Good enough to win. That's what Aviles is out to prove. He's done a pretty good job of it thus far.
Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick joins Dale and Steve DeOssie to talk about cutting the roster down to 53 players.

How can teams acquire players who are entering their primes without having to live through the potentially massive transition of prospects coming from the minors to the big leagues? The Red Sox have two such case studies. The signing of Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo represents one effort to acquire a player for his prime years for whom the transition to big league-caliber competition might not be turbulent. Red Sox assistant director of player personnel discusses the scouting process involved with landing Castillo. The episode also features Brock Holt, the one rookie who played at a consistently high level for the Red Sox this year. Holt explores some of the distinctions that might help to explain why he did not experience some of the struggles that characterized the seasons of Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr.

Budget problems in Washington causing more pain to former military
A local veteran battling crippling pain is fighting to find a way to continue his medical treatments here at home.
Now, thanks to budget problems in Washington getting treatment for that pain could be more difficult.
Carley Sartalamacchia comes from a military family.
He spent more than 20 years in the US Army making stops in Korea, Germany and the Gulf.
His time in the 92nd Airborne along with other duties gave him scars and stripes.
But it was his service in the Gulf War that left him with the condition that plagues his every moment now.
Carley Sartalamacchia: "Bone pain. Bone, enormous, joints hurt constantly like I got a flu."
Janet Sartalamacchia: "You're too sick to move, but if you move you get sicker and so it becomes a circle."
Carley suffers from Gulf War Syndrome.
The cause of which is still unknown.
Sartalamacchia has tried to research what he may have been exposed to but so much information is still classified.
Carley Sartalamacchia: "I do remember the exact moment I threw up there, just like I was looking at you today. I dove underneath a deuce and a half truck when a scud missIle came in, because we didn't have enough bunker space at that time. When it exploded, I remember the burning. And then of course the chemical alarms went off."
Doctors are treating him for severe Rheumatoid Arthritis using cancer medication to help alleviate his pain.
Carley Sartalamacchia: "The drug does wonders. You take it once a month, and the cost is the issue."
Those treatments are expensive costing upwards of 13,000 dollars each time.
And Carley's doctors constantly have to provide justification for those treatments.
With big cuts to military budgets, Tricare says they can no longer pay for them.
Sartalamacchia got this letter saying he will have to seek treatment at a military facility. His wife Janet has family living near a base in San Antonio where the treatment is available but the monthly regimen makes traveling tough.
Janet Sartalamacchia: "If it was every four months, we could just go down there and stay with them until it was over and he felt better and drive back. But an every month thing. It's really hard."
Carley reached out to Congressman Jeff Miller's office.
Miller serves on the Armed Services Committee.
His office is working with Sartalamacchia to seek a solution for Carley and other Vets going through the same thing.
Carley Sartalamacchia: "Once our service is done we became on the burden side of America and not the asset side any longer. Everything like that that somebody does is always to me very humbling that they didn't forget."
We were with Carley when he went for treatment on Wednesday but he was not able to get his medication.
He's awaiting approval from Tricare.
Sartalamacchia is also planning to reach out to the company that produces the two drugs he is currently taking to see if they can help.
