TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
Outdoor Advertising Control (OAC) limits the location, size, spacing, and lighting of signs adjacent to the interstate, National Highway System, and other Federal-Aid primary routes. Regulators are responsible for enforcing these requirements. The material in this training applies to all States and will help participants interpret major legislation and make effective decisions in support of OAC.
There are two related OAC Web-based trainings (WBTs): one designed for Bonus States (23 states) and the other for the remaining non-Bonus States. 141049 Outdoor Advertising Control: Non-Bonus States and 141048 Outdoor Advertising Control: Bonus States. Please refer to 141048 for information on this companion course.
The course follows recommended FHWA specifications and practices for drilled shaft construction but may be modified to follow local agency specifications and practices.
Comprised of seven distinct learning modules, this self-paced WBT addresses Federal laws and regulations regarding signs adjacent to the right-of-way; zoning and related programs; commercial advertising signs adjacent to the right-of-way; recognized Federal sign classifications; implementation; maintenance and illegal sign removal; and acquisition of signs on highway projects, under the Uniform Act, as amended.
This training provides participants an overview on laws and requirements related to Outdoor Advertising Control.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
State department of transportation employees; county, city town, and township staff involved with outdoor advertising; FHWA staff; and consultants assisting governmental entities with their Outdoor Advertising Control program.
If you have questions about this NHI training, please contact NHI at firstname.lastname@example.com or 877.558.6873.
The National Highway Institute (NHI) has been accredited as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). In obtaining this accreditation, NHI has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard which is recognized internationally as a standard of good practice. As a result of their Authorized Provider status, NHI is authorized to offer IACET CEUs for its programs that qualify under the ANSI/IACET Standard.

Surprise Marlins victories leader eyes split in Cincy
Sanabia has two of Miami's four wins entering finale vs. Bailey, Reds
Through 18 games of the 2013 season, only one Marlins starter has a victory, and he will be on the mound Sunday as Miami tries for a split of a four-game set at Cincinnati.
Alex Sanabia actually has two victories to his credit, and he will be matched against the Reds' Homer Bailey as the two teams follow up their 13-inning game the day before.
Sanabia enters his fourth start of the 2013 season a perfect 4-0 in 12 career road games, including nine starts, and the Marlins could use some more of his away winning ways on Sunday after battling the National League Central powerhouse deep into Saturday afternoon.
In his last start, Sanabia held the defending NL East champion Nationals to two runs on six hits, earning the victory in six innings and continuing to show he's back from injury woes and spending all of 2012 at Triple-A. With two victories in quality starts and one rough outing under his belt for this season, he'll be making his first career start against Cincinnati.
The Reds are hoping Bailey continues not only his own streak of quality pitching, but also a strong run of success for the staff as a whole. Through Saturday's games, Reds pitchers have allowed two runs or fewer in six straight games, walking just six while striking out 48.
Bailey has allowed runs in only two of his 19 innings pitched, but he's gotten zero runs of support while on the mound his last two starts. He says a key to success for him is having his catcher taking the wheel in pitch selection, whether it's Ryan Hanigan or Devin Mesoraco.
"When you're on the same page as your catcher, I can kind of sit back and almost go into cruise control, where all I have to think about is executing pitches," Bailey said. "If I have to try to think along with the hitter, that's where you kind of lose your focus on what you're trying to do with the pitch. Being able to go out there and just execute pitches if that's your only mindset makes something very hard a little bit easier. Trying to make pitches is extremely hard."
Marlins: Ruggiano's streak continues
No homer this time, but Justin Ruggiano continued his hot ways at the plate, extending his hitting streak to six games with a leadoff single in the 12th inning Saturday.
Through Saturday, Ruggiano has gone 8-for-23 during the streak, including home runs in the first two games of the series. On Saturday, he batted in what has become his main spot in the lineup -- the No. 5 hole, his 12th appearance in that spot.
"He's a guy who can hit in the middle of our order," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "We don't have a lot of power in our lineup, but he's one of the guys that we've got who can hit the ball out of the ballpark. He's done a nice job. He's given us good at-bats."
Reds: Hanigan's status uncertain
It had been since Sept. 27, 2011, that Bronson Arroyo didn't have Hanigan behind the plate for one of his starts, but it was Mesoraco there Saturday as Arroyo made his fourth start of 2013.
Hanigan's status remains day to day with a sore right thumb, the bare thumb having been struck by a foul ball against the Cardinals in the season's first week.
Mesoraco went 2-for-5 and caught all 13 innings Saturday.
Worth noting
• Following Sunday's game, the Marlins will continue northward to take on the Minnesota Twins at Target Field for a two-game set starting Monday, followed by a travel day on Wednesday.
• The Reds will continue their homestand with a three-game series against the Cubs, starting with Monday's matchup against former Reds pitcher Travis Wood.
• Prior to Saturday's game, the all-time series between the two clubs reached game No. 162, with the Reds posting a 92-70 record. It's now 93-70.
• After Sunday, the Marlins and Reds won't have to wait long to meet each other again, squaring off May 14-16 in Miami.

Zimmermann has had Marlins' number of late
Nats righty will oppose lefty Hand, filling in for injured Turner
April starts and successes are nothing new for Nationals righty Jordan Zimmermann. For Marlins lefty Brad Hand, pitching in April at all is a relatively new experience.
Hand broke into the big leagues in 2011, and this is the first time he's made an Opening Day roster. But he did so as a spot starter/long relief.
On Wednesday night, Hand is being called into action as an emergency starter in place of Jacob Turner.
After the Marlins lost, 5-0, to the Nationals on Tuesday night, the team announced Turner was scratched due to a right shoulder strain he sustained while hitting in the cages in the afternoon.
"He's going to be evaluated [Wednesday], and we'll go from there," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "It's just something that just cropped up today. The pitchers hit in a cage."
It's too early to tell if Turner will be headed to the disabled list. The discomfort came from swinging the bat, not throwing.
Hand has made two relief appearances this season and has logged five shutout innings. He last pitched April 4, posting a three-inning save against San Diego.
Zimmermann, meanwhile, is well accustomed to the early part of the season. And the right-hander certainly has had his share of success facing Miami in the first month.
In 2013, Zimmermann was 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA against Miami. Two of those wins came in April.
Hand is 0-2 lifetime with a 7.53 ERA against the Nationals.
In recent days, Zimmermann dealt with flu-like symptoms.
He was able to pitch the home opener against the Braves on Friday afternoon. His fever broke about 11 p.m. ET on Thursday, and he told manager Matt Williams that he felt 100 percent better than he felt earlier in the day.
Zimmermann pitched five strong innings, allowing one run on four hits and striking out nine. The run came courtesy of Evan Gattis' home run in the fifth inning.
"Health-wise, I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday," Zimmermann said Friday. "Yesterday, it was rough. I got some fluids and some rest. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I called [Williams], and I was good to go. I was able to go five, and he thought that was enough."
Marlins: Stanton stays hot at Washington
Slugger Giancarlo Stanton is putting to rest any thoughts that he is a perennial slow starter. In the past few years, he may have been, but not now. With his single in the third inning off Gio Gonzalez on Tuesday, Stanton extended his hitting streak to six games. The right fielder also has hit safely in seven of eight games.
Stanton especially is comfortable batting at Nationals Park. In his career, he is 38-for-113 (.336) in the ballpark with 13 home runs and 24 RBIs. The 13 homers are his high for all visiting ballparks.
Nationals: Holding edge in close ones vs. Miami
The Nationals have had their share of close calls against the Marlins in recent years. They've also been able to do whatever it takes to come out on top. Since September 2011, the Nats are 11-6 in one-run games with Miami, and they've won seven straight one-run contests at Nationals Park.
They've executed better when it mattered most. For example, on Tuesday night, in a well-pitched game, Gio Gonzalez picked off Adeiny Hechavarria to open the third inning. It technically was scored a caught stealing. Washington added a second run, in the sixth inning, on a two-out wild pitch.
Worth noting
After losing, 5-0, on Tuesday, the Marlins have been shut out five times in their last 11 games at Nationals Park. They were 1-9 with four shutouts at Washington last year.

Cool faucet - the sprayer broke within a week. I like the faucet very much, however within a week the sprayer button stopped switching between stream and spray. Overstock sent a replacement right away. Hopefully it will work for more than a week!

American Classic Modern Spiral Pull-down Faucet It may sound crazy, but this faucet makes me so happy. My only critique is that it is hard to precisely control the stream for going between full blast and slow trickle.

Great faucet My husband and I ordered this faucet for our new house. I wanted something that had a sprayer and was a one whole installation. This faucet met all my expectation. It was easy to install. You can position the handle anyway you want. The hose is flexible to cover all of my sink, I can even fill things sitting next to the sink. The middle bar pushes to the side for filling deep pots or cleaning. A deck plate was included although we choose to install without it since we didn't have additional holes to cover. The only thing different with mine then the picture is that the buttons on the sprayer faced the back. The was fine for me so more of the metal shows and they are just as easy to work. The button toggles from sprayer to stream. The button stays until pressed again, so you don't have to continously hold it. We are very happy with the faucet.

Like look and function, starting to have problems We installed this faucet 2 months ago and have enjoyed using it. We like the neck and find it easy to pull it out and settle it back into the holder. We have also liked using the button to change it from a spray to a flow; however, this button has started to pop off. When it does the small plastic part underneath can fall out. We're trying to figure out what to do about it. We had planned to use this faucet for 10+ years so 2 months doesn't meet our expectations.

* {Better than Assumed} * Hello All. I recently purchased this faucet for my newly renovated kitchen which is still in progress. I have yet to install but out of the box it is Phenominal! The Quality is outstanding & the look is chic without being overtly feminine. Even my husband likes it since he didn't want accessories to incinuate Liberache lived here. It was hard to believe we both agreed on this since he wanted a pull down faucet like professional restaurants do but I wanted something less bulky & hospital sterile like. A great compromise since it has a masculine, regal feel & I wanted something tasteful but didn't look like it belonged in a morgue. Overall, much better than we expected & alot bigger than I assumed. This will be great with the 30 inch Ticor double basin sink I purchased with it. Buy it. It will not disappoint.

Easy install, not very flexible On my three hole sink, deck cover plate material is too thin and bowed up ever so slightly possibly allowing water under to drip through the unused holes. May replace cover plate with stiffer if this becomes a problem. Spring is quite stiff not allowing a large range of movement, but with effort can reach to sides of sink. Rubber spray selector cover pops-off to easily if not pressed just right. Excellent water pressure - much more than faucet it replaced, therefor, faucet valve requires a delicate touch to control pressure correctly or high pressure blasts off bottom of sink. Fills pots fast. Biggest peeve is spay head support arm will not swing independently away from spray head and stay away. Push arm out of way and it will return to the spray head location just to be pushed out of the way again - over and over. I might take faucet apart and see if there is a way to make the support arm's side-to-side movement independent of the spray head. Would be great to get the support arm completely out of the way at times - large pots, small dogs :-) For the low price, this is a very good faucet that looks professional. Finish is easy to keep clean. The scale is just about right - not too big for a residential kitchen but it does command attention.

Beautiful and easy to install I've had my eye on this faucet for some time but when I was ready to purchase it, it was sold out on Overstock. I signed up for an email when it came back in stock and even then it had sold out again after the first email before I got a chance to order it. I was able to get one after the second email that they had them back in stock. This is a great price for this faucet. It was very easy to install. I had never installed a faucet alone but had recently helped my husband change out our bathroom faucet. Once I removed our old faucet I was able to install this one very quickly with my 2 preschoolers hanging around to "help". I wanted this style of faucet but chose this one because it is not super modern looking. I wanted more of a classic look to go with my kitchen. I also chose this one because it is not quite as tall as some of the others. I noticed other reviewers said the buttons on the nozzle face the back instead of the front. Though this appeals to me as well you can actually make them face any way you want when you attach it. I'm not sure how to describe this but when you attach the head you just turn the piece you are attaching it to instead of screwing the head around and then you can have the buttons face any way you want them too. I feel like I get much less water flow with this faucet and I haven't been able to find a flow restrictor I can remove. It has a stronger flow on the spray setting but switches back to steady stream when you turn it off so you have to change it to spray with each use. Also, given the length of the faucet spring, it has very little stretch. I got much more reach with my old pull out nozzle. I do feel it is stretching a little with use but I was surprised how little give it has. I installed mine with the on off lever facing forward so the water from your hands drips into the sink instead of onto the counter. This is a great looking faucet and even with my minor complaints I really love it and would choose it again.

Price and reviews
Remodeling our kitchen and I like the handle because it Not so modern in appearance. I read the reviews so I am hoping I like how this handles!
white hose
Shorter height than many similar faucets, slightly less modern design (particularly the handle) to match my farmhouse sink better
what is the actual length of this hose when pulled out from a stationary position?
Hello emma, it is approximately 8.5 inches in length / reach when pulled out. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
Doesn't pull out the length you see is what you get.
Our installer is coming to make the template for our new counters, I cannot find the the specs on this anywhere. Can you tell me the exact hole dimension? I see below that someone else asked about the deck plate. Our faucet has yet to arrive due to delayed shipping so this info would be very helpful. Thanks so much.
Hi jacksmomdawn, we have a spec sheet located in the product details. Just in case here is the link. Thanks for shopping with us. http://www.overstock.com/downloads/pdf/13083957-spec-sheet.pdf
Having the same issue with the rubber flap that toggles the two different modes as everyone else. Please have Customer Service contact me regarding a fix (like everyone else). Thank you.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Gorilla glue will fix it. Be careful and apply with a tooth pick!
What is the length of the warranty as other sites (higher cost though) list 10 year and here only 1 year?
Hi seans70, unfortunately we are unable to comment about other sites and what they offer. We have confirmed if purchased through us we offer a 1 year limited manufacturer warranty. Thanks for shopping with us.
We have had this faucet for 3 years. The actual manufacturer has a 10 year limited warranty. The button keeps breaking and we just got our second replacement. Overstock will give you the number, but here it is Kingston Brass: 877-252-7277 Have your Overstock order number ready, they will need that to process replacement parts.
My faucet is always on spray and cannot toggle to the stream mode. Is there a way I can resolve this or receive a replacement head?
Hello jennyb14, I am having customer care contact you. Thank you for shopping with us!
The rubber button cover on our faucet that we purchased l=in March has been lost. I just want to know how to obtain a replacement part. Even an email address or web site for the manufacturer would be most appreciated.
Hello phish2013, Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I love this faucet, but the rubber button will not stay on at all now. Has the manufacturer offered any replacement buttons or some kind of retrofit button??? I know eventually it's going to go down the drain permanently!!! Help!
Thank you for your question. We will have customer service contact you.
I just installed the faucet and am experiencing the same problem.
I called and yes, they will send a new faucet head.
I have had this faucet for over a year now. I had the same issue when mine arrived. I looked at other's reviews and saw that some people had glued theirs. I tried it, and it worked! A year later, it's never popped off! Hope this helps!
So many of us have commented on the "rubber nozzel piece" that is continually falling off. I at one point received an email from Overstock saying someone was going to contact me - no one has. Again, I don't want a different faucet. I just want this one to work properly. Has anyone else with the problem received any remedy to the situation? I'm not sure where to go with this one. Thanks!
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Does this faucet pull out as well as pull down?
Pulls out of the holder and is flexible. It can reach all areas of the sink but it is a fixed length.
If you are looking for a faucet that pulls out like the sprayer on a regular faucet, you may not want this one. You can remove it from the holder and it has enough give to reach all areas of my large double sink.
No, this one does not pull out but you can reach pretty far by pulling down.
Is the nozzle plastic? Also, is the faucet solid brass? Thanks!
Sorry, don't know. We returned this because it was way too large for our setting.
Thank you for your question. The nozzel and faucet are solid brass.
I love this faucet too and am having the same problem. I've had trouble with the little rubber flap that covers the water spray changer after about the 2nd or third month. Now it just keeps falling off no matter what I do. How can I replace this. Thank you.
If you get an answer from Overstock on this, I'd love to know. I don't want a different style faucet, but am thinking I may have to reconsider.
Thank you for your inquiry, You will be contacted by Customer Care.
Hope there is a "fix" for this problem.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Can the deck plate be removed so that you install the faucet without a deck plate?
Thank you for the question.You can install it without the deck plate.
The black rubber button cover on mine keeps falling out as well. Can you tell me how to get a replacement. Thank you!
Thank you for your inquiry. You will be contacted, promptly, by customer service. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
I love this faucet. I do have one problem. I purchased this is April of 2012. The little rubber flap that covers the water spray changer keeps falling off. How can I replace this. Thank you.
You will be contacted by Customer Care.
I got this when I started to build my house. I didn't even take it out of the box for a year. It's beautiful and I love it but the rubber button that changes it to spray keeps falling out. How can I get another one in case it falls out and gets lost?
I apologize for the inconvenience. You will be contacted by Customer Care shortly.
How wide is the cover plate?
The dimensions of the cover plate is 2-1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long.
States optional deck plate for additional holes. Picture shows plate to cover traditional three hole sink/faucet mount. Does faucet come as show with cover plate?
This item includes the deck plate to cover extra holes.
The faucet comes with the deck plate. The deck plate measures 10 inches long.
The little rubber hood that goes on the spray head to cover the spray switching button has constantly fallen off since I got this and now its just gone completely, I can only assume it went down the garbage disposal. How do I receive a replacement, I know its under warranty but dont see any manufacturer information to try to obtain it that way?
We will be happy to forward your information to our customer care team and have them contact you.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted promptly by Customer Care.

Faucet Buying Guide
When you're replacing kitchen faucets or bathroom faucets that have broken or you're just working on a new look for your kitchen or bath, it can help to know a bit more about plumbing fixtures. Before checking out our wide selection of faucets for sinks and tubs, look over this faucet buying guide for some tips on selecting the perfect fixture for your plans.
5 Things to Look for in Kitchen Faucets
When it comes to plumbing fixtures, few see more use than bathroom and kitchen faucets. Because they're so heavily used, durability is a primary feature to consider when selecting a sink faucet. There are plenty of functional faucet features to choose from. You'll also want to consider the style of your kitchen, including the sink and surrounding area. Here are a few features you may want to keep in mind as you look for a kitchen faucet that fits.
Advantages of Installing a Bar Faucet
More and more people are installing bar sinks with bar faucets in their homes as secondary kitchen faucets, but if you've never used one yourself, you may think they're a little superfluous. While it's true that not every kitchen needs a new bar faucet, they can be a very useful addition to your kitchen. If you're thinking about upgrading your kitchen with a new bar sink faucet but you're not entirely sure whether or not it will be worth it, then keep reading for some information on the advantages of installing a bar faucet that may help make your decision easier.
Unique Faucet Designs
Sometimes it seems like faucets don't vary much. Ninety-five percent of the kitchen and bath faucets you see are basic sink-mounted, single-spout designs with one lever or two knobs. These vary in terms of finish and embellishment, but, essentially, these designs are all variations on a single theme. These kinds of faucets make great complements to a wide range of kitchen and bath decor. However, sometimes, you may want a faucet that's unique, that departs from the norm and becomes a centerpiece for or makes a specific statement about your kitchen or bath. Maybe you want a faucet that performs a specific function that the usual faucets do not. If you're looking for that kind of faucet, keep reading. We've compiled a list of four unique faucet designs, one of which may be just what you're looking for.
FAQs about Fixing Faucets
Plumbing fixtures are built to last, but even the most durable kitchen and bath faucets wear out and lose their shine.

Answers to these frequently asked questions about faucet repair may help you extend the life of your faucets.
Advantages of Owning a Pot Filler Faucet
A common fixture in restaurant kitchens, pot fillers are becoming more and more common in home kitchens because they are so practical and attractive. You can find both deck-mount pot filler faucets, which mount on the countertop like a regular kitchen faucet, and wall-mount pot fillers, both of which install near the stove and have articulated arms that fold out over the stove when you want to fill a pot and fold neatly against the wall when not in use. If you're not sure whether or not you're interested in a kitchen-pot filler, keep reading for information on the advantages of owning a pot filler faucet.

How to Install a Soap Dispenser

How to Install Vessel Sink Faucets
An elegant vessel sink can add a touch of modern flair to any bathroom. The requirements for installing vessel sinks and their compatible vessel sink faucets can vary a bit from regular bathroom faucets, however. Here are some simple instructions to help you get your vessel sink faucet installed properly and change the look of your bathroom.
Understanding Bathroom Faucet Valves
All plumbing fixtures use valves. Valves, or mechanisms that take the place of valves, maintain a water-tight seal inside your bathroom faucet and regulate the flow and temperature of water. Knowing how bathroom faucet valves function will help you make a better purchase and understand how to make basic faucet repairs. Here are four valve types you're likely to see in modern bathroom faucets.

Tips on Selecting Kitchen Cabinet Knobs
They may be small, but kitchen cabinet knobs have a big effect on the functionality and look of your kitchen. The color you paint your walls and the countertops you choose will set the tone for your kitchen decor, but cabinet knobs and pulls and other pieces of cabinet hardware can provide the perfect finishing accent to your kitchen. Today, you can find kitchen cabinet knobs in thousands of different styles and finishes; taking a little thought can help you sort through the masses of knobs available and find the style of cabinet knob that's right for your kitchen.
How to Choose Cabinet Handles for Your Kitchen
It's easy to overlook cabinet handles when you're remodeling your kitchen or building a new home. After all, they're fairly small, easy to install and don't cost as much as, say, a refrigerator or new cabinets. Nevertheless, cabinet handles, also called cabinet pulls, and their near kin, cabinet knobs, can make a big difference in the look and utility of your kitchen. You use your cabinet hardware dozens of times a day, and while hardware like cabinet hinges are not highly visible, kitchen cabinet handles are high profile and can add to or detract from the look of your kitchen, depending on how carefully you choose your kitchen cabinet knobs and handles. Keep reading for information on how to choose cabinet handles that will help give your kitchen the look you want.
Bathroom Faucet Buying Guide
Most of the plumbing fixtures in your home concentrate in the bathroom: sink faucets, bathroom tub faucets and shower fixtures. When it comes time to install new bathroom faucets during a home improvement project, there are many options and choices available. This bathroom faucet buying guide will help you choose the right bathroom faucets and fixtures to maximize functionality and style in your bath.

Rudbeckia Subtomentosa are excellent back-of-the-border plants. Long-lasting blooms from July to frost. Attractive to butterflies and great cut flower. Pairs well with ornamental grasses and tall varieties of New England Asters.
Do not overfeed or overwater. Prefer moist, fertile well-drained soil. Although drought tolerant, Rudbeckia bloom better with ample moisture. Pinching can produce more compact plants in taller varieties. Allow seeds to fall to assure permanence in the garden. Spent flower heads can be cut back to prevent too many volunteers. Can be divided every 4 years in spring. Spent foliage can be cut back to 6" for a flush of new growth.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. Learn More

Chase is on for Central crown, Scherzer's 20th
White Sox can push Tigers away from clinch with Rienzo on the hill
Maybe the fifth time will finally be the charm for Max Scherzer.
The Tigers right-hander takes the ball in Friday's series opener against the White Sox at Comerica Park in search of his 20th victory of the season. He hasn't won in his last four starts -- during which he's sported a 4.70 ERA -- though he tied a season high with 12 strikeouts over seven innings of one-run ball in his last outing.
"I'm not sitting here chasing personal stuff down, I'm trying to win for the team," Scherzer said after that start. "This is all about trying to get us into the postseason. I don't care if I win another game. If we win our division, that's all that matters."
The Tigers entered Friday with a six-game lead over second-place Cleveland in the American League Central. After Detroit's 5-4 victory over the Mariners on Thursday, its magic number was cut to four.
White Sox rookie Andre Rienzo looks to stave off Scherzer's celebration for at least another day, as well as regain the form he showed in his first couple of starts. The right-hander has given up five earned runs in three of his last four starts, including his last outing, an 8-1 loss to the Indians.
Rienzo made his second career start against Detroit on Aug. 4, allowing two runs on four hits in six-plus innings. Despite an overall ERA of 5.04, the rookie has posted a 2-1 record with a 3.63 mark in six road starts, limiting opponents to a .214 average.
White Sox: Santiago still available
Left-hander Hector Santiago won't pitch this weekend in Detroit and isn't currently listed among White Sox probable pitchers through Monday. But that doesn't mean the lefty is done for the season, manager Robin Ventura said, despite Santiago's career-high 142 2/3 innings.
"He'll miss a turn if everybody is good," Ventura said. "If for some reason something comes up, then he'll probably take it. If everyone is OK, he'll get a rest."
Ventura said Santiago will get another start in 2013.
• Catcher Josh Phegley is hitting .375 with three RBIs in his last eight games, while infielder Marcus Semien is batting .391 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs over his last seven.
Tigers: Iglesias injures left hand
Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias exited Thursday's game after taking a 95-mph fastball off the left hand during the 5-4 victory over Seattle.
X-rays on the hand came back negative, and the Tigers shortstop was relieved it wasn't worse than a bruise.
"The only thing I'm concerned about is a broken hand and missing the rest of the season," Iglesias said. "It's not broken, that's a good thing and I'm happy about it."
Iglesias is listed as day to day with a left hand contusion.
Worth noting
• Chicago is 6-10 against the Tigers this season, including 2-4 at Comerica Park.
• The White Sox are batting .276 with 13 homers and a 3.22 ERA against the Tigers this season. Detroit has outscored Chicago, 68-59.
• Dayan Viciedo has had success in his career against Scherzer, going 6-for-19 with a double, two home runs and four RBIs, while Gordon Beckham has struggled against the right-hander, going 5-for-29 with nine strikeouts.
Series probables
Friday: RHP Andre Rienzo (2-2, 5.04 ERA) vs. RHP Max Scherzer (19-3, 2.95)
Saturday: LHP Chris Sale (11-13, 3.08) vs. RHP Rick Porcello (13-8, 4.45)
Sunday: RHP Erik Johnson (1-2, 2.87) vs. RHP Anibal Sanchez (14-7, 2.51)

Groovy scripts are a number of statements and class declarations in a text file. Groovy scripts can be used similarly to other scripting languages. There are various ways of running Groovy scripts
Using the interactive console
Groovy has a Swing interactive console that allows you to type in commmands and execute them rather like using an SQL query tool. History is available and such like so you can move forwards and backwards through commands etc.
If you
For a command line interactive shell type
To run the Swing Groovy console from a source distribution type...
To see how to add things to the classpath see below
Running Groovy scripts from your IDE
There is a helper class called
You can then run the above Groovy main() in your IDE to run or debug any Groovy script.
Running Groovy scripts from the command line
There are shell scripts called 'groovy' or 'groovy.bat' depending on your platform which is part of the Groovy runtime.
Once the runtime is
If you are using Groovy built from CVS Head (after Beta-5, see below if you want to upgrade), apart from Groovy scripts, you may also now run different kind of classes from the command-line.
- Classes with a main method of course,
- Classes extending GroovyTestCase are run with JUnit's test runner,
- Classes implementing the Runnable interface are instanciated either with a constructor with String[] as argument, or with a no-args constructor, then their run() method is called.
To work from the latest and greatest Groovy, do a cvs checkout and then type
You'll then have a full binary distribution made for you in groovy/target/install. You can then add groovy/target/install/bin to your path and you can then run groovy scripts easily from the command line.
To see how to add things to the classpath see below
Creating Unix scripts with Groovy
You can write unix scripts with Groovy and execute them directly on the command line as if they were normal unix shell scripts. Providing you have installed the Groovy binary distribution (see above) and 'groovy' is on your PATH then the following should work.
There now follows a sample script which is
Then to run the script from the command line, just make sure the script is executable then you can call it
Adding things to the classpath
When running command line scripts or interactive shells you might want to add things to your classpath such as JDBC drivers or JMS implementations etc. Do do this you have a few choices
- add things to your CLASSPATH environment variable
- pass -classpath (or -cp) into the command you used to create the shell or run the script
- It's also possible to create a ~/.groovy/lib directory and add whatever jars you need in there. Note: Because of Error rendering macro 'link' : Link needs a name and a URL as arguments.this option is currently disabled by default. You'll need to edit the xxx-classworlds.conf files in the Groovy conf directory and remove the comment on the "Load required libraries" line. SeeError rendering macro 'link' : Link needs a name and a URL as arguments.for a more detailed description.
Readline support in groovysh
- Add the attached groovysh-readline.jar into ~/.groovy/lib
- Build javareadline http://java-readline.sourceforge.net/ and move jar and dll/so/jnilib into ~/.groovy/lib
- Edit conf/groovysh-classworlds.conf and uncomment the ~/.groovy/lib line.

Michael & Mary Dan Eades, M.D.
About The Host:
Michael R. Eades
was born in Springfield, Missouri on June 19, 1947. He received his BSCE degree in Civil Engineering from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Pamona, California in 1970 and his MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) in 1979. After completing training in General Surgery as UAMS, Dr. Eades (along with his wife) founded Medi-Stat Medical Clinics, a chain of general family medicine outpatient care centers in central Arkansas, where he practiced general family medicine for over a decade.
In 1989, Dr. Eades wrote
Thin So Fast
(Warner Books), a health and nutrition book detailing how to safely undertake a modified protein sparing fast (such as Oprah Winfrey had used to lose her famous 67 pounds of fat) at home, with minimal expense.
Mary Dan Eades
was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas (across the street from former President Bill Clinton) on November 14, 1953. She received her BS in Life Sciences Chemistry/Biology
magna cum laude
from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1977 and her MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) in 1981. After completing her internship at St. Vincent Infirmary/UAMS in 1982, she joined her husband in developing and operating their Medi-Stat Medical Clinic chain, practicing general family medicine in Little Rock, Arkansas for the next decade.
In 1990, Dr. Eades wrote her first health books for the layman,
If It Runs In Your Family: Breast Cancer
If It Runs In Your Family: Arthritis
(Bantam). These were followed by:
Freeing Someone You Love From Eating Disorders
(Putnam) and
The Doctor's Complete Guide to Vitamins and Minerals
(Dell). The last listing is still in print.
The Drs. Eades
As writing, lecturing and researching became more and more the focus of their professional careers, the Drs. Eades sold the Medi-Stat Medical Clinic chain in 1991 and left general practice. Since that time, they have focused their professional energies solely on bariatric medicine and nutrition, pioneering the field of metabolic medicine, first with the creation of the Arkansas Center for Health and Weight Control in Little Rock, Arkansas, then subsequently founding the Colorado Center for Metabolic Medicine in Boulder, Colorado.
In 1996, their first joint book project debuted in
Protein Power
(Bantam), which became a national and international bestseller, selling over 3 million copies and spending 63 weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List. Foreign language rights for
Protein Power
have now been granted for British (English language for the UK), Hebrew, Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian and Spanish.
The success for
Protein Power
spawned a best-selling informational product (tapes and workbooks) that brought their nutritional message to another million people in America and abroad.
They followed this venture with the
Protein Power Lifeplan
(Warner, 2000) a comprehensive lifestyle treatise based upon their nutritional regimen, but exploring a broad range of metabolic topics related to it.
The Drs. Eades have appeared as guest experts on hundreds of radio and television shows across the country. Their work has been featured regionally and nationally on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC and seen in such publications as Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today.

Meijer store could open in Oak Creek
Retailer eyes location at Drexel Town Square development
Drexel Town Square is the tentative site for a 193,000-square-foot Meijer department store.
Jerry Franke, president of Wispark, owner and developer of the Drexel Town Square property, presented that information along with the fact that Wispark will give 35 percent of its profits on the Town Square project to the city.
"We are sharing the risk, we are sharing the reward," Franke said.
A contract between the city and Meijer has been drafted, but nothing has been finalized.
The contract would have the Michigan-based retail outlet purchase the land for its new site at market value, and with profit-sharing from Wispark, that would help offset the $19.9 million tax-incremental financing commitment the city has made.
Meijer has long been in talks with Franklin about a move to that community, and plans have stalled while issues with the state Department of Natural Resources were being explored.
Franklin officials did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday morning.
Dining at Drexel
Franke went on to give the Oak Creek council an overview of the Drexel Town Square's future.
Proposals for the 85-acre site, which will include a new City hall and library, would see the development of 500 to 600 high-end apartment units, sit-down style restaurants, coffee shops and microbreweries. An open space north of the proposed City Hall could include a splash pad or ice skating rink.
The apartments could be designed by architect Rick Barrett, who has worked on many projects including the 30-story condominium Moderne in Milwaukee.
Barrett said the apartments could bring 4,000 jobs to the area, adding "This is where we want to put our next project. I want it to be here."
Like the contract with Meijer, nothing has been set in stone with the other developments, but plans are on the table.
Blair Williams, president of WiRED, also has his hands in the Town Square development, presenting a vision for what the retail side will look like.
Stressing the importance of the civic buildings, Williams said, "Main Street needs to have people on the street. This is coffee to cocktails. This is an 18-hour day for activity on the street and a 24-hour community with heads in beds at night. It's an environment that really is dedicated to the cultivation of community."
Matchmaking to Meijer
John Melaniphy, a site selection specialist with more than 40 years of experience in Milwaukee, was charged with finding the right retail space for Drexel Town Square. He looked at the consumption habits, age and income of Oak Creek residents and the proximity of stores like Target, Kohls and Walmart.
Two options became apparent to Melaniphy: a cluster of small-box stores - the size of a Best Buy, for instance - or one large retail store to anchor the square would be needed to bring small stores and foot traffic to the area.
He went to the International Shopping Center Conference to see if the cluster could work. Each store he approached asked who the real anchor was, none confident with the idea of the cluster.
He determined the square needed an anchor and that Meijer was the best candidate. The store expressed interest in the area and would fit the area's average income.
Melaniphy sees Oak Creek leading a trend in American cities with big-box retail like Meijer and sit-down restaurants and coffee shops merged.
"What we're going to end up with when we get done is what I call a hybrid shopping center," he said, adding: "That's what's going to be built around this country. Not malls, not lifestyle. They're going to be hybrid. That will work here."

John Habib's Track & Field: Londonderry pair in spotlight
During the winter track season, Ortiz, a sophomore, won the Division I indoor meet high jump event with a 6-foot leap. He posted his personal best jump at the Dartmouth Relays clearing the bar at 6-4.
In the early going this spring, Starlin leads the Division I pack with a 6-2 mark in the high jump. He's also listed fourth (16.1) in the 110-meter hurdles.
"He's a very good athlete," said Londonderry boys' coach Matt Smith. "I know as a youth he was into basketball and baseball and excelled in those sports. He's always had a knack for track."
Smith said the high jump demands focus.
"It's a technique event and you have to concentrate on your approach and work on the mechanics of getting over the bar," he said. "Not only does Starlin possess the skills to do those things, he has the natural gifted ability to jump. He has the speed, flexibility and coordination you need to succeed in the high jump."
Ortiz, who also runs cross-country, is the anchor on his 4 x 100 relay team and his coach sees him growing in the 110-meter hurdles.
"He's really starting to put it together in that event," said Smith. "Again, he's only a sophomore and he's going to improve his times and leaps as this season moves along."
Bill Newcomb, associated with Londonderry High since 1978 as its athletic director for 30 years (stepped down in 2000) and track coach for 16 seasons, said Driscoll has the leverage and height to be effective in the shot put.
"It's a coordination of legs, hips and a push from the shoulder," said Newcomb of the shot put. "Patty has done it well and she's going to get better as this season goes along. She hasn't peaked yet."
Entering today's action in Division I, Driscoll, a junior, holds the league's best shot put result at 34-6.50. She is fourth in the discus at 94-04, trailing leader Kirsten Herchenroder of Timberlane at 95-08.
Newcomb said Driscoll threw her personal best (37-5) for a second-place shot put finish during the winter season at the Dartmouth Relays earlier this year.
"That was a big feather in Patty's cap," said Newcomb. "Being a junior is important for Patty and other athletes in track and field. That's the year college coaches start watching the times and distances and Patty is certainly doing well for herself in the shot put and discus."
Checovich won the 100-meter dash (13.53), 200-meter dash (28.00), high jump (5-0) and long jump (16-1.50).
Winnacunnet teammates Savanna Spencer (400-meter dash, 1:04.83), Mercedes McCoy (1600-meter run, 5:23.84), Meg Weiland (pole vault, 6-9) and Corina Chao (shot put, 33-02) were winners.
Pinkerton's Carli Davis won the 800-meter run (2:27.83) and Alexis Gray of Somersworth was a two-time champ in the 100-meter hurdles (18.05) and 300-meter hurdles (51.88).
Gray's teammates, Rachel Hill (triple jump, 36-04) and Miranda Gagnon (javelin throw, 119-11) were victorious. Kirsten Herchenroder of Timberlane captured the discus throw (95-08).
On the boys' side, Christian Seaver of Dover (100-meter dash 11.93; 200-meter dash 24.36), Shawn Case of Manchester Memorial (110-meter hurdles, 16.54; pole vault, 11-03), Drew Francouer of Somersworth (long jump, 19-04; triple jump, 41-04.25) and Niles Makarewicz-Connor of Winnacunnet (discus throw, 142-00; javelin throw, 144-11) were all double winners.
The 400-meter dash winner (53.17) was Chad Saint-Amant of Nashua North, the 800-meter run victor (2:02.65) was Tommy Harter of Winnacunnet and annexing the 1600-meter run (4:33.43) was Craig Hammond of Nashua North.
Three other winners were Addison Pratt of Somersworth (300-meter hurdles, 44.31); Alec Boucher of Winnacunnet (high jump, 5-06) and Mike Shanahan of Dover (shot put, 43-05).
Winnacunnet edged Memorial 119-118 for the team title followed by Dover (103), Somersworth (55), Timberlane (43), Nashua North (34) and Portsmouth Christian with 25.
"Track and Field" appears Tuesdays in the New Hampshire Union Leader. Email staff reporter John Habib at email@example.com.
