JON CARDINELLI says Schalk Burger's growth as a leader bodes well for the Boks in a World Cup year.
'My timing sucks,' Schalk Burger says, referring to his swollen thumb and an invisible metal pin that's keeping the previously dislocated metacarpal in place. He looks at the immobilised hand again as he alludes to a Tri-Nations campaign that will proceed without him.
It's been 11 months since Burger last played for the Springboks. He missed four Tests last November after sustaining a broken rib in the Currie Cup final. He'll miss four more as he recovers from a thumb injury incurred in the Super Rugby semi-final defeat to the Crusaders on 2 July.
'I did a few sums after that game and realised that I'd be cutting it pretty close in terms of getting ready for the World Cup,' he says. 'It's also the type of injury that forces you to adapt completely. I now have to do everything with my left hand, from brushing my teeth to wiping my arse. I also can't play any golf or go surfing, so that just adds to the frustration.'
While there's no danger of Burger missing the World Cup, he will arrive at the tournament having not worn the iconic No 6 jersey in more than a year. Critics will question his right to start given that so many impressive loose forwards are pushing for inclusion, but in the end Peter de Villiers may favour reputation rather than form.
That's not to say that Burger, when fit, has been anything short of outstanding. If anything, his performances in the 2011 Super Rugby competition have served to highlight attributes that will be needed by the Boks when they go to New Zealand with the aim of outmuscling opposition packs.
Burger embodied the Stormers' challenge in the recent tournament, and his masochistic attitude was particularly prominent in the matches against South African opposition. According to former Bok captain Corné Krige, who was himself renowned for a robust and uncompromising style, Burger can make a similar impact at the World Cup.
'I'm not sure if there are too many similarities between Schalk and I, he's a much better player than I ever was,' Krige says. 'He's a great all-round player; he can play to the ball, he's a powerful ball-carrier and a phenomenal defender. When it comes to work rate, I don't think anybody else in South Africa comes close.
'He's surpassed my greatest expectations. I remember sending his father a text after Schalk scored a try on debut against Georgia at the 2003 World Cup. I wrote, "This guy is going to be one of the big ones." He's achieved more than I ever dreamt he would, and the great thing for South African rugby is that he has more to give.'
The metal pin in Burger's thumb will be removed after three weeks, and he will resume training thereafter. It's unlikely that he will make his return to the Test arena before 11 September, although he admits that he'd love to have a run before the squad departs for the World Cup.
'My body will get a chance to rest after a demanding Super Rugby season, and I will also have a chance to condition myself before the tournament in New Zealand. But I really wanted to play for the Boks in the Tri-Nations and take some match fitness into the World Cup.
'It seems that I'm always getting my timing wrong,' he says with a light chuckle that suggests he's not completely concerned about missing the Tri-Nations. 'I've been in this position before and have managed to come back. My first goal is to win a place in the squad, and thereafter I will use those group games to gather some momentum.'
The Boks won't be playing any warm-up matches prior to the global showpiece, so it will be important for Burger to get some form of game time before the opening clash against Wales. Even if it means playing 40 minutes of rugby for Western Province in the Currie Cup, he will need the match practice.
'I'm usually pretty focused on the task at hand, and when a Super Rugby campaign comes to an end, I shift my focus to the Tri-Nations. But because of this injury, I'm now already thinking about the World Cup,' he says. 'The big difference between this campaign and that of 2007 is that the schedule is far more congested and there's hardly any time to prepare. In 2007, the training camp was longer and we played three warm-up matches against Namibia, Scotland and Connacht before we even got to France. This year we will go straight from the Tri-Nations into the World Cup, so our preparation and attention to detail needs to be spot on.
'This will be my third World Cup, and the build-up to each campaign has been different. The 2003 campaign was a failure as we bombed out in the quarter-finals, but to be honest we didn't really believe we were in with a shot of winning the tournament. It was quite the opposite in 2007 as we went into that competition ranked No 2 in the world, so we were confident. This year we have a lot of experienced players, and there's the extra motivation for some who will view the tournament as their swansong.'
The Boks beat Ireland and Wales on last year's tour of the home nations, and thus managed to garner valuable psychological currency ahead of the 2011 World Cup pool match against Wales and a possible quarter-final meeting with Ireland. Burger admits that while every victory helps to instil a sense of confidence, the Boks won't be taking the Celtics for granted.
'A year is a long time in rugby. You can strengthen your mental hold over a particular team by beating them regularly, but every match at the World Cup is a one-off and past results don't count for much. It sounds clichéd, but you have to go into the tournament with a week-by-week strategy.
'The pressure intensifies when you reach the play-offs. What we will need to do before we get to that stage is play a good brand of rugby and ensure that everything is in place. When you're under pressure in a knockout game, you tend to revert to what you know, so we will be striving for perfection at an early stage.'
Experience and leadership are precious commodities in a do-or-die situation, and this is where Burger, as a veteran of 63 Tests and a member of the 2007 World Cup-winning group, will come to the fore.
He has led the Stormers and WP to three play-offs in the space of two seasons, and the fact that the Cape-based team hasn't won a championship trophy is no indictment on his leadership ability. Burger is quick to challenge those who would call the Stormers' recent season a failure just because they were hammered by the Crusaders in their semi-final. He also doesn't agree with the view that the Stormers have developed the same choking problem that afflicts South Africa's national cricket team in major tournaments.
'I can see why some people would say that,' he says. 'The bottom line is that we still haven't won a championship trophy. It can become an issue if you get so close to winning and then fall at the last hurdle; it will always be in the back of your mind. But what people need to remember is that there are also a lot of senior Bok players in this Stormers team who know what it takes to win big tournaments having enjoyed success with the Boks in a World Cup, Tri-Nations or British & Irish Lions series. We were thumped by the Crusaders in that particular semi-final, but I don't think you could go so far as to suggest it was part of a bigger mental problem.'
Krige was disappointed with the Stormers' limp showing, but agrees with Burger in declaring the season a relative success. A former Stormers captain himself, he also believes that Burger is the right man to take the franchise forward, and that his burgeoning leadership skills will be a boon to the Boks.
'I had my doubts initially about Schalk as a captain because I thought he didn't want it enough, but he's proved me wrong with some passionate and determined performances,' says Krige. 'He leads by example which is exactly what a captain needs to do. It's a pity he never got the chance to carry that form through to the Tri-Nations because he would have added value to the Boks' leadership core.
'A good captain will always look to surround himself with strong leaders. It's something I never had the luxury of as captain of the Boks back in 2003, as while I had the likes of Schalk, Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha, Juan Smith, Jaque Fourie and Jean de Villiers in my team, they were all at the start of their respective careers. I would have loved to have played alongside them once they had amassed more than 50, and in some cases 100, caps because the more experience you're able to draw on, the easier your job becomes as a captain. Schalk has shown that he can be as valuable a leader as a player in Super Rugby, and he will surely bring that through to the Boks in their World Cup campaign.'
There are those who have criticised Burger's leadership style and accused him of being too laid-back to be entrusted with the ultimate responsibility. And yet, the 2011 season has witnessed a few moments where he has shown exactly what the team and its success means to him. Burger celebrated wildly after the Stormers' come-from-behind win against the Blues in late May, an uncharacteristic show of elation that may have surprised local and foreign fans alike.
'You're always going to get emotionally involved as the leader of a team,' he says. 'That Auckland game was massive in the context of the season, as if we had lost that match, we would have been on a three-game losing streak and staring at the prospect of missing a qualifying place. So when the final whistle went I just let rip. It was a massive achievement in the context of the game and in the context of our season, and I just let the emotions come pouring out.
'As you get older, you take on more responsibility, and I've discovered that I enjoy the responsibility of being captain. I haven't let it detract from my individual performances because I believe that a captain and indeed every senior player needs to lead from the front.'
While the major decisions will fall to Smit and vice-captain Victor Matfield, Burger will be at the forefront of the Boks' charge for an unprecedented third world title. Fate may have dealt him a poor hand on the eve of the 2011 Tri-Nations, but it's at the global tournament itself where South Africa's quintessential hardman will be looking to get his timing exactly right.

A LAKE District boat is to join a thousand-strong fleet sailing in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on the Thames this summer.
One of Windermere's well-worn wooden tourist vessels has been selected by Royal organisers to take part in the event – the largest flotilla in modern times.
More than two million people are expected to watch from the embankments of the Thames as the seven-mile procession steers through London waters.
Cumbria's own aptly-named participant, The Queen of the Lake, owned by Windermere Lake Cruises, is currently being repainted and refurbished for the spectacular, on Sunday, June 3.
The flotilla will be led by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family aboard a barge called The Spirit of Chartwell.
It will sail under 14 bridges, alongside groups of narrow boats, historic vessels including World War Two ships from the Dunkirk beaches and replica Tudor ships.
Managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises Nigel Wilkinson said: "We are delighted Cumbria will be represented at such a high-profile, patriotic event which will inevitably strike a cord with the whole country as we celebrate her Majesty the Queen and her 60-year reign together.
"We hope to be able to involve the wider Cumbria community in this project and to give some younger Cumbrians a day out that they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Boat building manager Alex Williamson and operations manager Russell Bowden will lead the team south for the patriotic event.
Windermere skipper Ron Walker will captain the boat on the day itself.
The 15-metre tourist boat, built in 1949, will be hoisted out of the water at Ambleside and driven almost 300 miles by lorry before it is launched on the Thames.
It is a reversal of the ship's initial northern voyage, 60 years ago, when she was transported to Windermere from the Thames-side town of Molsey, where she was built.
It is not the first time the Queen of the Lake has been given a Royal mark of approval. In March 2010 it carried the Prince of Wales when he visited the Lake District.
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

Burlington officials have kept tabs on North Carolina's tax restructuring legislation, talked to state lawmakers in April, and have now adopted a resolution stating the city's concerns on how it could impact Burlington's revenue.
In April, city leaders met with local legislators to hear their opinions on the potential reform which is very much up in the air until the state House and Senate can agree on a plan. Legislators advised council that what was proposed in March likely wouldn't be adopted into law as written.
"When these things are filed, they go through a long process of committee work," said Rep. Steve Ross, R-Alamance.
State Sen. Rick Gunn, R-Alamance, agreed.
"Anything that's been filed, it's not the bill you're going to see (ratified)," Gunn said. "These are ideas that are thrown on the table."
Those "ideas" are in the forms of Senate Bills 363 and 394, part of the "overall tax reform package," Gunn said.
Currently, Gunn said North Carolina's tax structure is ranked seventh from the bottom nationally.
"We think this is the opportunity to make North Carolina more competitive," he said. "We want to be top five," not bottom seven.
Rep. Dennis Riddell, R-Alamance, said the state needed to create a "climate" with its tax code that would attract businesses.
Gunn said at the end of the day, the state wants to put itself in a position where there's a tax structure that is friendly to individual taxpayers, municipalities, and businesses.
Ross, a member of Burlington City Council before winning election to the General Assembly in November, said municipalities should have little to be worried about.
"I was glad to see early on … that the dialogue is already there about protecting the cities," he said.
But Burlington's leaders are concerned. They drafted and adopted the tax reform resolution during the city council meeting May 7 to let lawmakers know there are some questions.
Senate Bill 394, which was referred to the Finance Committee, calls for reducing the sales tax, but extending it to services not currently taxed, reducing personal income tax, and establishing a large income tax exemption — such as $11,000 for married individuals filing a joint return.
Under Senate Bill 363, franchise taxes would be repealed and replaced with "a more simple business privilege tax." And that seems to concern local leaders.
Burlington's resolution states, "… the city of Burlington would have to evaluate other means to make up for lost revenue if the privilege license tax and franchise tax are solely collected for the state of North Carolina."
"That's major revenue for us," said City Manager Harold Owen.
Owen said roughly 8.2 percent of the city's revenue comes from franchise and privilege license taxes, including about $3.2 million in franchise taxes paid annually to the city by large companies like Duke Power and Piedmont Natural Gas, $500,000 in privilege license taxes, and another $215,000 in beer and wine taxes.
A week after Burlington adopted its resolution, the House submitted its own version of the tax reform plan. Among other changes, like reducing the corporate income tax and franchise tax rates, Riddell said the plan would lower the personal income tax rate to a flat 5.9 percent.
Gunn said he has a copy of the resolution and added, "We are encouraging comment, resolutions and input from all stakeholders." Riddell said he's aware that cities are "in a tight spot" because they only have a few revenue sources from which to pull.
"We don't want to shift the tax burden out of Raleigh to local (cities and counties," he said. "It's going to be an interesting balancing act."

Tribal concerns over coal
Washington's post-European history was predicated on a covenant picked apart and violated for decades. The Point Elliott Treaty of 1855 uprooted families and devastated multiple cultures. The treaty was signed by then-territorial governor Isaac Stevens, with X marks by native leaders such as Lummi Chief Chow-its-hoot and Goliah, Chief of the Skagits. (Some unpleasant treaty details were lost in translation.) American settlers entered into a legal and social contract, that in exchange for ceding massive swaths of land, Indians would maintain access to natural resources and a traditional way of life. Anything that has a negative material effect on those resources is a concern of tribes -- a concern with political and legal resonance.
After years of adjudication, the Tulalip Tribes have an established usual and accustomed fishing area that reaches from Vashon Island to the Canadian border. By extension, harm to the marine ecosystem, native fisheries or the habitat of endangered species harms tribes. The effort to build a coal export facility at Cherry Point is then reduced to its core: Can impacts and risks be properly documented?
The Lummi Nation is skeptical, opposing Cherry Point because of its potential harm to sacred and religious sites, as well as its impact on fishing. The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, a regional multistate congress, passed a resolution that insists on a collective environmental impact statement for all the proposed projects.
One major player is weighing how to respond. As The Herald's Gale Fiege reported in December, Tulalip Tribes Chairman Mel Sheldon testified at the Seattle scoping hearing.
"The Tulalip Tribes support job creation. We are one of the largest employers in our area. But we will not tolerate anything that poses threats to our cultural resources, our health and our treaty rights to fish, hunt and gather," Sheldon said. "The tribes and local, state and federal governments have worked hard to improve the environment, but it won't mean much if we find coal dust in fragile waters of the Salish Sea."
The tribes fear spills and derailments, mercury pollution and the fallout of coal dust. Identifying risks -- and whether coal terminals foreshadow added benefits or costs -- is critical, with everyone connected to everything else.

Groovy is integrated with the Java security model. Groovy scripts can be compiled and executed in the presence of a SecurityManager and a Policy that dictates what permissions are granted to the script.
In a typical java environment, permissions are granted to code according to its codeSource. A codeSource consists of a codebase (essentially, the URL the code was loaded from by the class loader) and optionally the certificates used to verify the code (when it is obtained from a signed jar file). Since groovy can produce java .class files which can be loaded by existing secure class loaders (e.g. URLClassLoader), the traditional mechanisms can be used to enforce security policies without doing anything special. Setting up and running java security can be a little tricky, so consider the following resources for more information:
- Java Security Tutorial
- Java Application Security
- Permissions in the Java 2 SDK
- Java 1.4 Security
- Java Security, 2nd Edition – O'Reilly
The last of these is a book which covers the Java security model in detail.
In a typical groovy environment, there are additional considerations – often groovy scripts are loaded dynamically from some filesystem and translated on the fly into java class files. In other cases, groovy scripts may be entered via an interactive shell, or retrieved from a database for dynamic translation.
Filesystem based Groovy scripts
In the case where the script is read from the filesystem, groovy uses a custom class loader GroovyClassLoader that searches the CLASSPATH for .groovy files and gives them a codeSource constructed from a codebase built from the source file URL. This class loader also supports signed .jar files containing .groovy scripts so that both codebase and certificates can be used to verify the source code. Once the groovy scripts are loaded as classes, they behave just like java classes with respect to security.
Non-URL based Groovy scripts
In the case where the script has no URL, there is not necessarily any definitive way for groovy to associate an appropriate codeSource with the script. In these cases, groovy allows a codebase to be specified for the script that is being compiled (by specifying a GroovyCodeSource), subject to the caller having permission to specify that specific codebase. This codebase takes the form of a URL, but need not refer to a physical file location.
To illustrate this more clearly, consider the case where some server system is responsible for fetching and loading scripts that will be executed on behalf of a client. Assume that the server is trusted (i.e. it has permission to do anything) while the client belongs to a class of restricted clients that only (for example) have permission to access the normally resricted property "file.encoding". For this simple example, assume that the security Policy in effect has been specified by the following policy file:
The groovy script to be executed on behalf of the client is:
When the client calls the server and passes this script for execution, the server can evaluate it, specifying a specific codebase:
In order for the server to be able to create a GroovyCodeSource with a specific codeBase, it must be granted permission by the Policy. The specific permission required is a GroovyCodeSourcePermission, which the server has by implication (the policy file grant of java.security.AllPermission). The net effect of this is to compile the client script with the codeBase "/serverCodeBase/restrictedClient", and execute the compiled script. When executed, the policy file grant(s) for the codeBase "/serverCodeBase/restrictedClient" will be in effect.
Additional information
For more information, check out the security test cases in the groovy source code distribution. These tests specify a custom policy file groovy.policy, which is located in the security directory under the groovy-core CVS module. The class SecurityTestSupport (located at src/test/groovy/security) activates this policy by specifying it in the system property "java.security.policy". Examining this policy file along with the test cases should detail the concepts discussed here.
Note that in a typical application environment, the policy would be located and activated either by using the default lookup mechanism (policy.url.<n> setting in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security) or as a VM argument: -Djava.security.policy=/my/policy/file.

The DGA Rogue is a maximum distance driver that is more controllable than other overstable drivers. This disc has plenty of glide to go with its high speed profile making it a great choice for pure distance drives off the tee. This golf disc will become the 'go-to' driver for many top level amateur and professional players.
The Rogue in SP Line plastic will be slightly faster and a touch more over stable than the Rogue in ProLine plastic. The SP Line Rogue is designed to take a beating and last a lifetime because of the durable plastic blend. This disc is ideal for beginners who are looking to throw maximum distance.
DGA Sparkle Rogue Fundraiser. Only 500 produced to raise money for the Players Cup (new 09/07)
The ProLine Rogue is DGA's high speed disc golf driver that combines both control and distance, while maintaining a predictable flight path. For low to medium arm speeds, this disc works perfectly for straight shots that do not require significant fade, and can also be used for long turn-overs. Those with higher arm speeds will notice that the ProLine Rogue is perfect for any flip-to-flat line, narrow tunnel drives, as well as the huge flex shots.

Lemons Scores 17, Williams Has Perfect Shooting Night as Women's Basketball Runs Win Streak to Five at Belmont Abbey
January 8, 2013
BELMONT, N.C. - Pfeiffer University women's basketball team poured in 46 first half points and dropped nine three-pointers en route to a comfortable 67-46 victory at Belmont Abbey on Tuesday night. The Lady Falcons push their winning-streak to a season-high five improving to 9-1 overall, 4-1 in league play while the Crusaders fall to 5-5, 4-2.
Pfeiffer took control off the opening tip as a Jodie Lemons layup gave the Lady Falcons their one and only lead of the night 1:54 into the contest. Tied 17-17 with 10:26 to play in the half, Pfeiffer blasted off on a 27-5 run to close out the half with a 22-point, 46-24 halftime lead.
Lemons had 11 of those 27 points while Carter Williams would connect on back-to-back threes. Caressa Samuel would contribute late by draining five points off the bench over the final 1:33.
Brittany Cox would jump start the second half with a jumper 35 seconds in to help push the lead up to 24. Pfeiffer's largest lead of the night came during a six-point run with reigning Conference Carolinas player of the week Christina Harvey scoring four of the six as the Lady Falcons found themselves up 57-31 with 10:44 to play.
A pair of Morgan Midkill free throws trimmed Belmont Abbey's deficit down to 16 with 6:46 left before Lemons, Kellie Rhoney and Bridget Rothert scored the Lady Falcons final 10 points cruising to the 21-point win.
Lemons led all scorers on the night scoring 17 while Williams followed with 14. Williams was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor which includes connected on all four three-point attempts. Rhoney added 10 points offensively Harvey pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds.
Pfeiffer will look to tie a school-record their next time out on Saturday at King. A win this weekend would push the Lady Falcons to 10-1 tying the best start in school-history. Tip time with the Tornado is 5:30 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Comments about Adventure Time Jake the Dog Adult Men's Costume:
I used the costume to give out candy on Halloween and go to a party at a bar. The kids absolutely loved it. Even the ones that didn't know who the character was were thrilled to see a big yellow dog answer the door with a bowl of candy. Adults got a pretty big kick out of it too. It's a lot of fun to wear, and would be great for entertaining at kids parties if you're on a budget. Also, it's super easy to put on and take off.
The main draw back of the costume is that it's somewhat uncomfortable with the head on. For reference, I'm 6' tall and 175 lbs. The way the sleeves are designed pulls the head of the costume down so you always feel pressure on your head. It's ok for a little while but it becomes increasingly annoying. It also sits too low which obstructs your vision and it severely restricts peripheral vision. On the plus side, the head is warm, so if you plan to be outdoors in the cold, you've got a hat built in and the head flips back easily like a hood when you don't need it.
One thing to note is that the costume holds wrinkles pretty well. I let it sit out for two days and it looked pretty much the same as when it came out of the bag. I used a steamer to get the creases out, which worked well.
At the end of the day, the costume is well worth the money and I am eager to find other uses for it.
Comments about Adventure Time Jake the Dog Adult Men's Costume:
Comfortable costume that was easy to wear. My son just slipped it over his shirt and he was ready. He found it very comfortable. He is an adult large/xlarge and it fit fine.
Comments about Adventure Time Jake the Dog Adult Men's Costume:
Just as described. I decided to get the adult for my 10 year old. He's a small 10 year old but I thought the kid one would be too short in the length on the legs. Fits him well other than the arms are long, but I expected that. I will work out great though!
Comments about Adventure Time Jake the Dog Adult Men's Costume:
My 13 year old son wore this on Halloween. It';s great because it is very durable and in one piece so it's very easy to use! The only problem was that he had a hard time with hi speripheral vision, but that could have been a sizing issue as we purchased the adult sized costume.
Comments about Adventure Time Jake the Dog Adult Men's Costume:
I had went as a blue Bert Monster for Halloween, was tired of dressing as a hoe for Halloween so I went in shopping after Halloween And got this costume for cheap, yeah it is a men's costume but I did not care. its fits me great and is really comfy also. I also like how it is just a pull over tunic and it will be easy to wear at work next year, Overall its a great and I cant wait to wear it.

"Happiness is not a function of biological well-being or neurological whatever. Happiness is a function of one's ideas (which includes his values, preferences, goals, etc), and his achieving those. Morality is about how to decide. And the main goal is freedom. This allows everyone to achieve happiness without being hindered…"
"Happiness" is superfluous in this description. The OP implies that happiness is the basis for moral values. If happiness is a function of those values, then the argument is circular.
What is OP? I googled but no help.
I don't understand what you mean. Maybe an example will help clear up things. I value philosophy. Why? Because it helps me improve my life, all parts of it. Including my parenting. Namely helping my children with their conflict resolution skills.
So when I learn a new philosophical idea, and I notice that it helps me improve my parenting, then I feel happy.
So I felt happy *because* I achieved one of my goals. And I was able to achieve that goal *because* I valued philosophy. And I value philosophy *because* I know its going to help me achieve my goals.
Do you see a problem here?

Manzanillo involved in auto accident
Brewers pitching prospect Santo Manzanillo, one of four players added to Milwaukee's 40-man roster this month, was being treated Tuesday morning following a traffic accident in the Dominican Republic.
Assistant general manager Gord Ash said the club was awaiting word on Manzanillo's condition as of late morning. He had no information about whether the player had suffered any injuries.
According to information from Manzanillo's Dominican Winter League team published on Licey.com, a truck struck Manzanillo's Hummer on a highway in La Romana while Manzanillo was on his way to the Brewers' new baseball academy. According to the website, Manzanillo, a right-handed power pitcher, suffered cuts and bruises on his right shoulder and was taken by plane to Cure International Hospital in Santo Domingo.
The website quoted Eduardo Brizuela, Milwaukee's Coordinator of Administration, Latin America Operations, as saying Manzanillo, "was just banged up a bit."
Manzanillo, 23 in December, had a 1.75 ERA and 17 saves at Class A Brevard County and Double-A Huntsville in 2011, holding opponents to a .194 average. The Brewers added him to their 40-man roster on Nov. 18 to protect Manzanillo from next month's Rule 5 Draft.

After Supreme Court action in 2000 and an affirmation of the ruling in July last year, the Boy Scouts of America are again having a discussion: Should gay scouts and leaders be admitted into the organization?
One of the largest private youth organizations in the country is reconsidering allowing gay members and leaders into the group.
The East Carolina Council of BSA, based in Kinston, has 309 chartered organizations with more than 8,000 members and 3,500 leaders in this part of the state. Scout Executive Ray Franks said changes will be limited if the national board decides to lift the organization ban on admitting homosexual boys and men.
"The outcome I hope for is our volunteers understand that no one is being forced to change," he said. "At no time will any unit or leader be forced to take … youth or adults they don't want to take. It's totally up to the chartered organization to make that decision."
BSA units must have sponsoring (or chartered) organizations, which are usually civic groups and churches. Of more than 110,000 scouting units across the United States, nearly 70 percent are chartered by religious groups, according to an Associated Press report.
Franks said the Methodist church is the largest chartered organization that supports the Scouts.
"We have to follow the policies of the Boy Scouts of America, whatever it is," he said. "But local chartered organizations get to make the decision about (who) they will admit."
A 2000 U.S. Supreme Court case, Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, ruled allowing homosexuality in BSA would interfere with its message after Scoutmaster John Dale publicized his sexual orientation and was expelled from the Scouts. In July, the national executive board released a statement affirming the ban, calling it "the best policy for the organization," according to multiple reports.
"I don't think that (lifting the ban) would be a healthy thing for scouting, at all," said Kinston lawyer Jimbo Perry,whose family has been active with BSA the past four generations. "I understand some people may say one of the things that scouting promotes is diversity and tolerance … but the one thing scouting has stood for in my mind since we've been involved has been that there are certain values and there are certain things that are right and wrong.
"Scouting has stood for what (is) right."
Perry's grandfather lost his own father and two older brothers at a young age, not getting a chance to be involved with BSA. He pushed his three sons to participate, and the Perry family became big scout supporters. Jimbo Perry, who became an Eagle Scout in ninth grade, said his earliest memory was his father taking him to a scout meeting.
Joining the Boy Scouts became a right of passage for the men in his family — Perry even has the East Carolina Council facility bearing his family name.
Perry, still actively involved with four of five sons becoming Eagle Scouts, said East Carolina Council will have its own meeting next week to decide its stance on the policy. The national decision is rumored to be released early next week.
"If they decide to go with this, it's going to really erode a lot of the support that scouts have," he said. "It's really going to be more harmful than anything. If would not be a good policy change for the scouting program."
Local Scoutmaster Tommy Harper said sexual preference hasn't ever come up with his troops.
"I've never been a part of denying anyone for that reason," he said. "I personally don't have a problem with allowing them in. It's not a factor to me."
Franks said the issue has arisen once more because "internal partners have expressed a concern that we should reconsider the policy." In the wake of Barack Obama being the first president to use the term "gay" in an inauguration speech, conversations about sexual orientation may spark.
"I really don't know what effect (Obama using the word 'gay') has," Franks said. "The discussion has come about because chartered partners wanted to discuss the issues."

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio—Miami University's soccer team played Bowling Green to a 1-1 double-overtime tie on Sunday afternoon, extending the RedHawks unbeaten streak to nine games. It was the sixth overtime match for the RedHawks this season and their fifth double-overtime contest of 2013.
Miami moved to 9-6-3 overall and 6-1-3 in Mid-American Conference play, while Bowling Green moved to 0-14-2 overall and 0-8-2 in MAC play.
The teams played to a scoreless draw over the first 45 minutes. Miami took eight shots in the opening half, placing five on goal, but could not get one past the Falcon goalkeeper.
There was a flurry of action at the start of the second 45 minutes of play. Just over three minutes into the second half, freshman forward/midfielder Taylor Jackson stole the ball from the Falcons on their end of the field and put it past the BGSU goalkeeper on an unassisted goal to give Miami a 1-0 advantage at the 48:41 mark. It was Jackson's second goal of the season.
About a minute and a half later BGSU's Kaitlyn Tobin headed in a goal to quickly knot the game, 1-1, at the 50:18 mark. It was the only shot on goal for the Falcons the entire game.
Miami had one other shot on goal in the second half, but neither team was able to score over the remaining minutes of regulation, sending the contest into overtime.
The RedHawks had two shots on goal in overtime, one in each overtime period, but could not place one to the back of the net.
For the game, Miami had 25 shots, placing nine on goal.
