Louise Osborn found herself in a quandary when she visited a Muskego park with her husband and granddaughter earlier this month.
Her husband, partially paralyzed from a stroke, tipped over in his wheelchair and his family could not get him back upright.
That's when two strangers happened to drive by and did something that prompted Mrs. Osborn to send a letter to her local paper.
Read Osborn's letter to MuskegoNOW.

Arsenal v Napoli: Rafael Benitez would like to see Arsene Wenger win the Champions League... but not this time
Benitez brings his new side to the Emirates tonight
Tuesday 01 October 2013
Rafael Benitez and Arsène Wenger will be fighting for crucial Champions League points tonight, but the Napoli manager last night made clear his deep respect for his adversary, describing him as "the best coach in the Premier League" and hoping that one day he will be successful in his quest to win the European Cup.
The two managers were close during Benitez's two spells in the Premier League – first with Liverpool, then with Chelsea – and the Spaniard praised Wenger on Monday, saying: "I think he's a great manager, and a great person, someone that knows the league here in England, and has experience in Europe, and is always in the top four. He is doing a great job."
Follow live coverage of Tuesday's Champions League action, including Arsenal v Napoli, Celtic v Barcelona and Steaua Bucharest v Chelsea
While Benitez lifted the Champions League in 2005 with Liverpool, Wenger has yet to win it, losing in the final to Barcelona in 2006. Although Napoli and Arsenal are in a desperately difficult group now – along with Borussia Dortmund and Marseilles – Benitez said he would be pleased, in the future, if Wenger did finally get his hands on the European Cup. "Hopefully, he can win the Champions League, but in another year, not this one, just in case," the Spaniard said.
Since their 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on the opening day, Arsenal have been in remarkably good form, rising to the top of the Premier League, winning in Marseilles and advancing to the last 16 of the League Cup. They have won eight of their last nine games, and took the other one in a penalty shoot-out. Benitez, though, said he was not surprised.
"I was expecting a strong team," he said. "Wenger is the best coach in the Premier League, then they signed good players and at this point everything is going well for them."
Tuesday night's game will be a different challenge from Napoli's first, when they beat Borussia Dortmund, last season's Champions League runners-up, 2-1 at home. "Of course there is a difference," Benitez said. "We played the first game at home against finalists, a very, very tough game. But it's a different game now, away, we play against a team that have ball possession as a strength. Against Dortmund we had to work and be careful of counter-attacking, now we need to change approach, as Arsenal will use ball possession."
This will be Benitez's first competitive game in England since he left Chelsea at the end of last season after a successful spell as interim manager, and he said on Monday night he was proud of his work at Stamford Bridge, despite his unpopularity with some supporters. "I was really pleased because we won," he said. "We finished in the top three – that was the target – and we won the Europa League. Really pleased, and the majority of the professionals and people who follow the team every day could see we were trying to do our best and we did a good job at the end."
While Benitez said he was very happy in Naples, he was open to the possibility of one day returning for a third spell in England. "My future is to do well with Napoli and try to win things. You never know. I am still a young manager – hopefully, I'll be there a long time then I can manage in different countries in the future," he said.
Benitez is certainly enjoying life in Naples for now, though, with his team just two points off the lead in Serie A. "It is a nice place, with nice fans with a lot of passion and commitment. It is very similar to Liverpool in terms of passion for the team, for football. They enjoy football and you can see that everywhere.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Thinking of visiting Chiang Mai? I personally would think twice before staying at this hotel before the controversy is definitively laid to rest.
The Downtown hotel in Chiang Mai is still enmeshed in a controversy involving the deaths of 7 people who either stayed at the hotel or visited the place.
THe situation was recently reviewed on NZ TV and the inappropriate use of a pesticide used to eradicate bedbugs was suggested as a possible cause. (the substance is banned in many countries)
THe current Mayor o Chiang Mai appears to insist it is merely "unlucky" or "coincidence".
The owner of the Downtown Inn is a former mayor of Chiang Mai. He is no stranger to controversy. He once asked the local police to "lecture" women on "improper clothing" during Song Khran. He was disqualified from the Provincial Administration Organisation for vote buying and electoral fraud.
It appears he owns several other hotels too.
If you want a summary of the story refer to the Bangkok Post "spectrum" Sunday May 15 20011
Downtown Hotel Chiang Mai - linked to 7 deaths? More controversy

i think this substance was first used in the oriental hotel in bkk with 100% perfect results.
Report Abuse
Do you mean chlorpyrifos?
The substance has been around for decades - it is primarily used in agriculture. There are also domestic versions, but as I understand it they no longer used in "the West" and other countries due to toxicity problems. There has also been litigation over its agricultural use due to risks posed to workers.
The crucial thing is it what concentration what particular type was used, and how was it applied....e.g by a trained expert etc etc.
The NZ theory is by no means proven or accepted.
I think that speculation over this substance as the cause is not the real problem here. The main problem after these deaths has been the wall of denial, incompetence and obstruction put up by the local authorities, mayoral office, medical examiners and police who seem to have taken the attitude that if they deny everything the waters will become sufficiently muddied and problem will go away.
There has also been speculation that the deaths on Phi-Phi a while back may ls be due to similar causes.
I can't see how the hotel or other hotels owned/manged by this company can expect to regain customers without a definitive and convincing "All Clear". I would suggest that their language so far comes nowhere near to achieving this.
Report Abuse
PS - I suggest that "100% perfect results" is an ill-chosen phrase in this situation too. It would be impossible to demonstrate the subsequent health conditions or problems of all visitors over the following months/years sufficiently to make a claim that ANY use of this substance is 100% safe, effective or whatever.
Report Abuse
It seems that the weight of opinion is now against the chlorpyrifos theory.
Sadly though this doesn't alter the main problem...that the "authorities" in Chiang Mai are not so much looking for an explanation as a way out.

Imagine the power of a US$500 outdoor GPS built into a $5 app available on iOS and Android devices. In a nutshell, that's ViewRanger. The advanced mapping GPS app has been around for years in Europe and just launched in the United States. Read More
We've all experienced that moment of panic when we open the back door to let the dog inside only to find that he's not there. Technology has provided a solution to this dilemma with GPS tracking devices designed specifically for our four-legged friends entering the market in recent years, but this offering from GEODOG claims to improve on those that have gone before with a new slimline design that's shockproof, waterproof, user-friendly and unobtrusive.

Contrary to celluloid legend, Marty McFly did not invent the skateboard in 1955. Street surfing actually originated a little later and has gone from a few home brewers mounting some roller skate wheels onto the underside of a plywood board to an international sport which challenges both the creative ingenuity and physical capabilities of its participants. The design and structure of board and components have improved greatly over the years, but there appears to have been little headway in feeding back vital performance data to riders. Designer and manufacturer of military grade tracking technologies Edgetrak and performance board producer wefunk have now joined forces to fill the void. The newly-formed Stealth Division has just put the finishing touches to a new operational prototype longboard called the Mach1, the first deck in the world to feature built-in telemetrics. Read More
China's Beidou satellite navigation system begins operations
China's independent Beidou satellite navigation system has been operating since 2000. Consisting of just three satellites (and one backup), that first generation system offered only limited coverage to customers in China and neighboring regions. Now, to end any reliance on the US-maintained Global Positioning System (GPS), the second generation of the Beidou system has begun operations. The system currently consists of 10 satellites and covers the Asia–Pacific region, with the number of satellites gradually increasing to a total of 35 that will cover the entire globe by 2020.

As useful as GPS is in the modern world, we're really only at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to some of the potential functionality of satellite-based navigation.

The system fuses GPS and cruise control, allowing the vehicle to predict terrain features of the road ahead and help to boost gas mileage. Read More
Tak Wak delivers a rugged GPS-smarthpone-radio for the outdoors
Many modern outdoors folk are conflicted beings that live by diametrically opposed principles. On the one hand, they spend top dollar for the newest, lightest gear on the market to keep their muscles and joints moving freely. On the other, they fill up their featherlight packs and jackets with all kinds of single-function, redundant or just plain unnecessary devices in the name of being "prepared." Getting more function out of a single device is the quickest way to resolve this problem and the tw700 from German company Tak Wak achieves this by blending several of your most important outdoor devices - GPS, walkie talkie, camera and tracking system - into one rugged, waterproof, trail-ready package.

We've already seen rearview mirrors from the likes of Ford, Toyota and Mazda that display the vision from rear-mounted cameras, along with a GPS-enabled rearview mirror that includes a 4-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth. Now Hong Kong-based gadget wholesalers Chinavasion has started selling a kit that replaces any standard rearview mirror with a GPS and Bluetooth 2.1 enabled unit featuring a 4.3-inch touchscreen for multimedia playback and even playing touchscreen games (seriously), while DVR capabilities let you record what goes on inside and outside the car.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
HEAD COACH Ryun Williams
(opening statement)
"Character win. That was a character win by our kids. You give up 25 offensive boards and still find a way to win, that's just this group. They keep finding a way I don't know how many times have we said that. In The Pit, we shoot free throws poorly and still find a way to win. Nevada was really good tonight. They were exceptional tonight. They had some kids play well and we were lucky to get out of here with a victory."
(on crowd)
"I thought that last 4 minutes when the crowd stood up and we strung a couple of stops together that was crucial, absolutely crucial and we needed them tonight. Some of those other games they got to sit on their hands the last 10 minutes and enjoy, but tonight we needed them and they came through like champions."
(on offense)
"Offensively we always felt fine, we always felt like we were putting positive possessions together and even when we weren't making baskets they were still good shots. I thought our motion was really nice and I thought we ran it well. We can't argue with what we did offensively and the balance it was the other end that almost cost us the game tonight."
"We are here to turn this thing into a winning program and we're doing that. These kids are going to win, they're going to win. I just wish they weren't so hard on my heart though."
(on overall performance)
"We calmed down a little bit and got our run on offense. We started getting a few stops, rebounding a little bit, got in our groove and playing together. That's why we started winning in the end."
(on crowd)
"The crowd was huge, we built off of the crowd and built off of each other. That was big for our team."
"It was definitely loud. I felt like on defense I couldn't even tell everyone what was going on because it was extremely loud. I think that really helped us because the crowd was into it, we were into it, and so we wanted to win. The crowd was huge tonight."
"It definitely is really nice to see the support grow, but we want more."
(on winning record)
"Coach always says we're here and we're going to compete on the court no matter who we're playing. This game is over now and we're just going to look to Saturday. We're going to keep going and that's the mentality for our team."
(on difficulty of opponent)
"I actually didn't really notice who was on me unless it was 55 when she was in. It's one of those things where you have to play your game and not dictate to who's guarding you. Except for 55 because she had some long arms, which made it hard to post her up."
(on difficulty of opponent)
"They made crazy shots and it was hard to guard them because you didn't think they were going to shoot, but then they did."
"They kept fighting the whole game."
(on Nevada's offensive rebounding)
"Obviously, it's frustrating when you guard for 25 seconds, then another 25 seconds. That's definitely something we need to step up on. It's not a skill, it's toughness, which we should be able to do and we're definitely going to work on that before the game on Saturday."
(on crowd)
"There are still a lot more seats available in there. We haven't sold out yet."
(on overall feel of the game)
"We just didn't stop playing and kept going the whole game."
(on difficulty of opponent)
"When they got going, it was contagious. It was not just one player, they were a really good team which made them hard to guard. I'm just happy we ended up with a win."
(on defensive adjustments)
"We went from zone to man. Obviously, it's easier to box out when you know you're responsibility and I think that helped us. Then, just as the crowd got going and the intensity got going we ended up being more aggressive."

Our Disenfranchised Troops Deserve Better
The next president of the United States must do right by our men and women in uniform. Our troops put their lives on the line to protect our right to vote, but untold thousands of them were unable to cast their own ballots on Tuesday. For shame.
Veterans groups and soldiers advocates have warned about military disenfranchisement for years. M. Eric Eversole, director of the Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project and a former litigation attorney in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, reported that "more than 17,000 military and overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008 because their ballots arrived after the deadline and had to be rejected."
That doesn't include the thousands more whose ballots never arrived or arrived at their bases too close to the election to be returned. The total number of troops affected this year could be more than double or triple that because of the relocation of nearly 70,000 military personnel out of Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year.
More alarming, the feds acknowledged last week that a transport plane that crashed at Shindand Air Base in Afghanistan on Oct. 19 was carrying 4,700 pounds of mail — including an unknown number of absentee ballots.
Experts agree that a minimum 45-day mailing standard is needed to provide soldiers overseas sufficient time to get their ballots home. But the feds have done virtually nothing to ensure that laggard states comply with military voter protection statutes. In fact, the Obama administration has actively worked against pro-troop voting protection efforts by suing to stop Ohio's military enfranchisement reforms.
Moreover, according to a report by the Military Voter Protection Project released on Election Eve, the number of absentee ballot requests by both military members and other overseas voters in the battleground states of Virginia and Ohio has dropped 70 percent since 2008. Despite a federal law mandating that every base establish a voting assistance office (the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act), the Pentagon reported this summer that it could only contact such offices on half of the military's bases. In Wisconsin alone this election cycle, at least 30 municipalities failed to send absentee ballots to members of the military before the 45-day election deadline. On Monday, GOP Sens. John Cornyn, Kelly Ayotte, John McCain, Rob Portman and Marco Rubio raised the issue with President Obama's Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The group noted that the DoD's Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) had documented widespread problems experienced by overseas military voters during the last midterm elections, but that the department had taken no steps to make mail streamlining and modernization changes recommended in 2010.
The most simple, efficient fix involves a centralized mail forwarding system for blank absentee ballots to accommodate transient servicemen and servicewomen. The U.S. Postal System already has a similar system in place for civilian use.
"We are perplexed as to why DoD did not do everything in its power to modernize the system for redirecting blank ballots in order to eliminate this roadblock for military service members," the senators told Panetta. Perplexed? Try steamed. Outraged. Livid. "Our men and women in uniform should be able to participate in the very same democratic system of government that they defend, not be relegated to mere spectator status because their ballot never reached them."
The profligate Obama administration — which squandered trillions of taxpayer dollars on a failed stimulus law, billions on dozens of now-bankrupt green boondoggles, billions to the Muslim Brotherhood-coddling government of Egypt, and multimillions on the first lady's junkets in Spain and around the world — has the audacity to blame funding woes for its neglect of military enfranchisement reform. A White House less focused on revenge and redistribution would put the rights of those who secure our blessings of liberty first. They deserve nothing less.

Video: MINI Five Door Debuts in Motion
The F55 five door MINI represents an entirely new variant from the brand that mixes some of the R55 Clubman with the current F56 design language. That said there are also some new forms present on the F55 (namely that rear) that is entirely new for the brand. And while the photos show this off in various angles, the videos after the break do a much better job putting it into three dimensions.
Note – this is meant to be B-roll video and thus should be considering as such. But it is a great way to get to know the car a bit better than simple static images.

Cumbria becomes first public university in the world to accept Bitcoin in tuition fees
Tom Mendelsohn
Tom Mendelsohn is The Independent's online student editor. It's a cliché, but he truly does believe that children are our future.
Tuesday 21 January 2014
The University of Cumbria is to accept the online currency Bitcoin as payment for fees, it has announced, becoming the first public university in the world to do so.
At first, payments will be limited to two courses on the roles of complimentary currencies in economic systems, which will be taught from summer this year.
The courses are to be run by the university's new Institute for Leadership and Sustainability, in an effort to "study the experience of facilitating payments by one complementary currency system".
Professor Jem Bendell, the director of IFLAS, said: "We believe in learning by doing, and so to help inform our courses on complementary currencies, we are trialling the acceptance of them."
The two courses accepting Bitcoin as payment are the "Certificate of Achievement in Sustainable Exchange", to be taught at Cumbria's London campus, and the "Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Leadership", which will take place at the Lake District campus.
The University of Cumbria believes it is the first public university to accept Bitcoin, hot on the heels of the University of Nicosia, a private university in Cyprus, which announced it would do similar late last year. The two courses are already validated and are accepting students, while Cumbria's system for accepting payments, via the Bitpay system, is also operational.
Bitcoin is an online currency and payment system which enables the international transmission of funds. Though thousands of merchants worldwide accept this "cryptocurrency" – so called because it uses cryptography to guarantee its security – it has often been associated with illicit activity, most notably with the online illegal drug market called Silk Road, which was shut down by the FBI in 2013. Bitcoin's value is famously quite volatile, but it's currently sitting a little $1,000 on MT.Gox, which is one of its main trading exchanges.
In a statement, the university warned students against purchasing Bitcoin specifically to pay their fees, due to the "risk of currency volatility".
It said: "[Students] should only use this facility if they already have Bitcoin, or can receive Bitcoin donations in order to pay their fees.
"There are misunderstandings about Bitcoin and this is a trial move by the university, where we approach it as a learning exercise and welcome feedback."
However, it did not rule out accepting other currencies in future: "The university will learn from this trial and develop its awareness of innovations in complementary currencies and payment technology."

Operating under the simple premise that citizens have a right to know as much as they can about how their government officials operate, and how that affects governmental agencies as a whole, we almost always favor laws and regulations which require transparency in government. Transparency, of course, is an overused word, but it basically means that government agencies must operate in a way that allows citizens to observe what's happening, and even to have input about what's taking place.
The committee to study whether or not Kershaw County should enact some type of firearms discharge ordinance finally came back with its finding. As I fully expected, there will be no ordinance of any kind to deal with this growing problem. William Tetterton, a criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor and friend of mine chaired this committee. Mr. Tetterton was against any kind of firearms discharge ordinance from the beginning, so it seems a little disingenuous that a man who was strongly opposed to any firearms discharge ordinance would chair a panel deciding on whether or not one should be enacted.

The newbuilds in the Cap San class, with their nominal slot capacity of 9,600 TEU are the biggest ships in the shipping group.

Does HBO survive on those 15$ sub fees alone, or are they broadcasters throwing them some additional bones to keep their business afloat? Safeguarding their content could show the latter would be true.
His point seemed pretty clear to me. He is willing to pay the $15 a month fee for HBO, just not the $60 a month cable subscription just for the ability to pay another $15 for HBO. Sell him HBO directly for $15, and he will buy.

Bullshit ! Stop breaking the damn law.
quote:the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
If you dont want to pay for HBO, if you cant afford it, if you dislike their streaming option, DONT WATCH IT.Tired of the underlying message of endorsing piracy, on almost every headline.
Yea, you should ignore it because its against the laws, BECAUSE ITS ILLEGAL. Just like you have cars that can surpass the speed limit. You want to take a chance and speed, go right ahead.If the copyright holders want to make their product available via the net, Netflix, Itunes, IPTV providers , etc, Thats their prerogative. Its unlawful, and it should be immoral as well to just TAKE whatever the hell you want.
Bullshit ! Stop breaking the damn law. HBO isnt breaking any laws by running their business how they see fit. You cant, and DONT compete with FREE."Give us your product for PENNIES or we'll just shoplift it anyway." What kind of crap is that? Seriously.
"Give us your product for PENNIES or we'll just shoplift it anyway." What kind of crap is that? Seriously.
It doesnt break down, because when someone is pirating something, they are less inclined to subscribe to that channel, or buy an album, etc. If everyone and their mother used torrents, dont you think HBO would go out of business?The shoplifting analogy is fine.It costs money to produce this media. I would argue its no different than having to pay for water or electricity. Would you bypass your water or electric meter? I guess that wouldnt be classified as stealing either, right? What about going into a cable tap and hooking up coax into your house? Not stealing either right? Its just information.Theres no justification in breaking these laws. People can cherry-coat them all they want, but in the end, its still illegal.

Rule 5 Draft Preview: Hitters
Kiley breaks down the very shallow crop of bats that are potential Rule 5 selections in tomorrow…
|Ceciliani Rolling With The Punches
BINGHAMTON, NY - Darrell Ceciliani has been playing some fierce baseball for the Binghamton Mets, and although he has been slumping, it is merely a slight dip in an otherwise excellent season. After returning from a season ending injury last year and rising from A-ball to Double-A, Ceciliani has shown that he can always roll with the punches.
Last season Ceciliani only played 23 games in the Florida State League before pulling his hamstring and being forced to sit out for the rest of the season.
This might have been discouraging to another player just getting started, but Ceciliani and pulled hamstrings were old acquaintances. This latest tear was the 4th one of the year and the one that put him out of the game. However, he never let it stop him.
"Ever since I pulled my hammy I've been doing everything to make sure it doesn't happen again," Ceciliani pledged. "I'm strengthening my glutes, hip flexors, hips, quads, everywhere around the hamstring."
Despite only playing 23 games, Ceciliani was able to garner enough attention through solid play to get a shot at Double-A ball. His transition has gone smoother than most as Ceciliani noted some of the differences between the leagues and has made the proper adjustments.
"[In the Eastern League] the pitching is better and more consistent; they have a game plan and able to execute it more often than down in the lower levels," Ceciliani said. "They stick with their game plan until you make an adjustment or you burn them on it, then after that they change. It's more of a cat and mouse game."
Ceciliani has played both cat and mouse this season. In late July, the young center fielder was hitting just below .400 and making pitchers pay for every mistake. However, he is currently playing the mouse, as gets back to work in the cages. Success in Double-A comes down to extremely hard work and dedication and Ceciliani is proficient in both, according to hitting coach Luis Natera.
"This has been a great year for Darrell. In the past, injuries have been an issue for him but he's been able to stay healthy this year," Natera remarked. "Darrell's been doing a great job and has great work habits; it's what's made him have success. While early on he's struggled some he really turned it around and of late despite some difficulty he's still working extremely hard."
Ceciliani has been putting work in all year and has adjusted his swing to the new league.
"I'm trying to shorten up my swing to get to the ball quicker. Basically short to it, long through it. I was swinging long for a while, casting my hands, so I've tried to cut that out and just stay shorter and more compact through the zone. It's all about finding holes and green grass," Ceciliani laughed.
Defensively, Ceciliani has lost none of his punch. A lifetime centerfielder, Ceciliani has been playing a bit in left, and like many young players, he relished the opportunity to diversify and expand upon his talents.
"It's another learning process that I don't take for granted," Ceciliani began. "I'm glad they want me to take on another position, so that if I do get that call I'll be more useful and not just one dimensional.
"I'm getting more comfortable and while it is tougher to get reads at times I've played there for more than half the year and I'm starting to get more relaxed out there."
Always a fighter and a student of the game, Ceciliani has stated that he is just trying to go out and battle every day, embrace the process and the grind as he is constantly trying to get better.
Both coach Luis Natera and Binghamton manager Pedro Lopez have a lot of faith in the youngster and are confident in the season that he's been having. Although the decision to promote a player is left to corporate, Lopez believes that Ceciliani has the chops to get promoted again.
"I think he deserves a chance to go up, but it's not up to us to make that decision. Definitely the main thing is to stay healthy, have a good year and hopefully get a promotion to Triple-A," Lopez said.
Ceciliani is battling every day and growing ever stronger as he distances himself from his past injuries and focuses on the upcoming playoffs.
