Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Jeff Alexander
New York Mets -150
The Mets hold the advantage on the pitcher's mound with Matt Harvey, who is 4-0 (5-0 on the money line) with an ERA of 1.54 and a WHIP of 0.686. Miami's Jose Fernandez is 0-2 (1-3 on the ML) with an ERA of 4.50 and a WHIP of 1.250. The Mets have won 10 of the last 13 meetings and should enjoy continued success tonight behind Harvey.

Arizona -105
Great value here with the DBacks who are getting great Pen work here at home and actually just about every outing regardless of the venue. The Giants are struggling and Cain is as well. They have beat the Giants the last 8 times that Kennedy has thrown against SF and the bottom line is that AZ loves to beat the Giants and are always highly motivated to do so. This is a Great price considering the circumstances and I am going to play it.

New York/ Houston Under 8: To me this just has pitcher's duel written all over it. Lucas Harrell may have a 4.22 ERA on the road, but all the damage done vs him was in his 2nd start of the year. In that game vs Oakland he allowed 8 ER's in just 4.1 innings of work, while in his other 4 starts this year he has a 1.89 ERA and hasn't allowed more than 2 runs in any of those starts. Tonight Lucas will face a Yanks team that is 9th in hitting (.255) and 9th in scoring (4.67 rpg), but their lack of big name offensive starts may be starting to catch up with them as they have hit just .234 and scored 4.2 rpg in their last 10 games. Offensively the Astros are 20th in scoring (3.92 rpg) and 14th in hitting (.248) and they really have struggled to hit lefties on the road, posting a .226 BA nd scoring just 2.61 rp/9 off of them away from home. Not likely that those numbers will go up much tonight vs Andy Pettitte, who has been solid out the gate with a 3-1 mark and a 2.22 ERA. This game features some very good pitching on the mound, and some struggling offenses. The Yanks have given Pettitte some great run support, but I feel that wont happen in this one as Lucas is pitching very well and should keep them form putting up a bunch of runs in this one. Look for 5 or 6 runs at the most here.
Washington/ Atlanta Over 7: Stephen Strasburg is one the mound, but he hasn't been as unhittable as was expected of him this year, especially on the road, where he has a 6.35 ERA in 2 starts. Stephen also hasn't pitched all that well in this park, posting a 6.28 ERA in 3 career starts here. Tonight he will face angry Atlanta Offense that struggled some at Detroit. The Braves are home now, where they have scored 4.62 rpg overall and 5.51 rp/9 off of righties on the year. This Braves offense shoud get back on track vs Strasburg tonight. The Nats offense has struggled this year, but they still average 4 rpg on the road and should be able to tag Teheran for at least that much. Julio comes in with a 1-0 mark and his team is 4-0 in his starts, but he still has a 5.48 ERA on the year. All 4 of his starts have gone over the total and his games have averaged 10.8 rpg. Now let's note that behind him is a struggling bullpen that has a 5.74 ERA in their last 5 games. Both of these offenses should have good showings vs the pitching that's on the mound, giving us at the very least 4 runs from each team.

Brooklyn/ Chicago Over 180: The Nets need this one in the worst way and i expect them to dictate pace and make this an uptempo game. Chicago doesn't really like that pace, but they have shown this year that they can adapt, just like they did in game 3. Net home games this year have 191.2 ppg, while Chicago's road games have put up 188.1 ppg. Let's also note that the Over is 9-1 in Brooklyn's last 10 off a loss and the Over is 5-1 in Chicago's last 6 games on days rest, while the Over is also 12-5 the last 17 meetings here. Should be a bit of an uptempo game as the Nets look to stave off elimination and that should get us at least 190 points here.
Oklahoma City/ Houston Over 206: The Thunder showed they can score even without Westbrook, especially vs this porous Houston defense. I look for the Thunder to go all out offensively in this one as a win here would give them a few days off before the next round starts. Houston also needs to go all out offensively here, as for them there is no tomorrow if the lose. The Rockets average 108.1 ppg at home and they have scored 103 ppg on this tough Thunder defense the last 2 games. I feel that in desperation mode they will push tempo and the Thunder will run right along with them. Both teams should be able to notch at least 103 points in this one.
Indiana/ Atlanta Under 186: Despite winning the last game by 21 points, the Hawks scored just 90 points in that game and that means they have now scored just 93 ppg in the last 4 in this series and they have scored just 93.2 ppg in their last 5 games overall. Indiana has scored just 92.8 ppg in their last 5 games overall and they average just 91.2 ppg in the road. Atlanta got back into the series by playing tough defense in a slower paced game. They have struggled some on defense at home, but the Pacers can't score on the road. Indiana allows just 91.5 ppg on the road and their defense will step it up once again in this one. I look for a slower paced game again as this one struggles to hit 180 points.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Baltimore -111 over SEATTLE
The Orioles are not getting the respect they deserve and we'll keep riding them until they do. The O's are coming off a four-game set in Oakland in which they were taking back a tag in each game. Baltimore was on the verge of a sweep until the A's scored two in the ninth yesterday to tie it and eventually go on to win it in the 10th. Still, the Orioles scored 28 runs in four games at that pitcher-friendly venue. Now, as a small favorite in Seattle, the Orioles will face Joe Saunders. Saunders has one of the worst skills set in baseball. It was marginal for years but it can't even be considered that anymore. Saunders has always had difficulty with righties. Last season, he had a staggering OPS split (.451 vL, .849 vR) and this year it's even more staggering at .426 vL and 1.072 vR. In 27 innings this year, Saunders has walked 12 batters and struck out 12 batters. He has a WHIP of 1.78 an ERA of 6.33 and over his past two games, Saunders has been tagged for 20 hits, 15 runs and three bombs over 9.2 frames. Joe Saunders can't get righties out and he can't throw strikes this season.
Zach Britton makes his first start of the year. He went 5-3 with a 5.07 ERA in 60 innings for the Orioles last year. Remnant of 2011, a shoulder injury shelved Britton until July and then he pitched brilliantly or dreadfully depending on how you perceive it. A sinkerballer, Britton induces tons of groundballs, strikes out some and walks too many. But has he ever been pain free? Health will define his value but the good news is that Britton possesses big league stuff and will have every opportunity to win a rotation spot. In three minor league starts this season, Britton went 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA and he doesn't need to be flawless here. Five adequate innings by Britton gives us a great chance to cash this ticket because Joe Saunders can't get folks out.
DETROIT team total over 5 -104 over Minnesota
The Tigers are seeing BB's right now. They're coming off a three-game sweep against the tough pitching of the Braves in which they scored seven runs or more in all three games. In total, Detroit scored 25 runs and now they'll face the AL's worst starting pitcher. Twins SP Mike Pelfrey has been a disappointment to start the season with a 7.94 ERA in 17 innings. Pelfrey has one or two starts left before he's taken completely out of the rotation and relegated to the clean-up role. Pelfrey has seen a slight drop in velocity since the 2011 season but he's struggled to command the ball more than anything. Pitchers often have command as the last thing that returns when coming back from Tommy John surgery and Pelfrey has returned in less than 12 months. He has thrown only 39.8 percent of his pitches in the zone, which is the sixth-lowest in baseball. Pelfrey's sinker is not staying down in the zone, either, which has resulted in solid contact by opponents. Pelfrey's release point is also lower than it was back in 2011. The lower release point makes it unable for him to create downward movement on his pitches, with his sinker and slider flattening out when they reach the strike zone. Pelfrey is always constantly tweaking his mechanics in order to create more movement on his pitches and he recently shifted to the first base side of the pitching rubber this year. A very slow tempo on the mound for Pelfrey is a sure sign that he doesn't have confidence in his stuff. He's walked five batters while striking out just six and even the Marlins got to him in his last start when Pelfrey lasted just 4.2 innings after surrendering nine hits and five runs. Pelfrey somehow managed to shut down the Tigers in his first start of the season. Lightning won't strike twice.
Pittsburgh +112 over MILWAUKEE
Yovani Gallardo posted a 6.08 ERA and 1.65 WHIP one week into May last year and he's near duplicating that this year with a 4.97 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP. Gallardo is a slow starter but there are even more warning signs this time around. Gallardo's strikeout rate is way down with just 17 in 29 frames. His groundball rate is dropping, his line-drive rate has increased to an unsightly 30% and in his last start at San Diego he walked five batters while striking out just a pair. Gallardo has an outstanding career record against the Pirates, as he and the Brewers are 14-1 against Pittsburgh over Gallardo's career starts. However, this year's Pirates are not the same team and the Brewers bullpen has trouble holding leads.
The Pirates rolled to a 9-0 victory at St. Louis on Sunday for their ninth win in 12 games. Over the past 15 games, the Pirates lead the majors with a team batting average of .283. Over that span they are second in runs scored in the NL with 71, just two behind the Rockies 73. Wandy Rodriguez has started the season with a splash, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.78 WHIP after his first four starts. His skills have been really good due to elite command (3 walks, 16 K's in 22 innings) and an elite groundball rate of 52%. The Brewers have lost three of four games at Miller Park against southpaws and they struck out 12 times yesterday in Los Angeles against lefty, Clayton Kershaw. The Bucs are red-hot while the Brewers are cooling down and returning home from a West Coast swing. That sets this pooch up very nicely.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Chicago+5½ over BROOKLYN
The Bulls lead the Nets 3-1 as the series shifts back to Brooklyn, yet Chicago is not getting any love from the oddsmakers. Not only can the Bulls win this one, at worst they should be able to stay well within this range. The Bulls won both games in Chicago behind the inspired play of Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng. In Game 4, defensive anchor Joakim Noah and the sparkplug off the bench, Nate Robinson, gave the Bulls a much needed boost in the 4th quarter and three subsequent overtimes. Without a doubt the epic three-overtime Game 4 was the most riveting playoff basketball yet. The Bulls came away with the tough, hard-fought victory, which could mentally crush the Nets.
This Bulls squad led by Boozer, Deng, and Noah has gone through multiple playoff battles together and know what it takes to win when series-turning games are up in the air. The Nets meanwhile have not gone through these same battles and playoff experiences together that the Bulls have gone through. Coach Tom Thibodeau is one of the best in the game, and will certainly have the Bulls ready to compete here in Brooklyn as they look to close out this first round series. With the Bulls having won the last three games of this series, including Game 2 in Brooklyn, they can now smell a wounded animal and we fully expect them to go in for the kill here.
Indiana +104 over ATLANTA
The Atlanta Hawks put the clamps down defensively on the Pacers as the series shifted back to Atlanta for Game 3. The Hawks blitzed out to 54-30 halftime lead and never looked back, as they allowed Indiana to shoot a revolting 27% in Game 3. The Hawks were embarrassed after getting destroyed in Indiana and came out with great intensity and passion that they lacked in Indiana. With that said, look for the more talented Pacers squad to come out and revenge their dismal performance in Game 4. In the first two games of the series, the Pacers starting backcourt of George Hill and Lance Stephenson combined to make 23 of 35 shots from the field. However, in Game 3, the Pacers offense vanished as they made only two of 15 shots combined. Expect Hill and Stephenson to find their shooting stroke again and have a strong bounce back performance in Game 4.
While the Pacers struggled offensively throughout the game, their defense was quite good as they allowed the Hawks to shoot only 42.7% from the field and a brutal 26.7% from beyond the arc. This is the type of defensive output that this Pacers squad has exhibited all year. Don't let the blowout in Game 4 fool you; the Pacers are the more talented squad and they will not allow the inferior Hawks to get back into this series. Anything close to a decent shooting percentage above 40% in Game 4 and the Pacers will go back to Indiana with a commanding 3-1 series lead.

HICAGO (+5.5) over Brooklyn
After a tremendous performance in Game 1, the Nets have let this series slip out of their hands. Deron Williams has disappeared at key times and the whole team has been disappointing on defense and has made several key turnovers and missed easy shots. Bulls are 5-1 ATS their last six visits to Brooklyn and make it 6 out of 7 tonight. Back the Bulls!

Ian Cameron
LA Angels at Oakland
Play: Oakland
I've been actively fading Tommy Hanson in the month of April. He has struggled in nearly every start and even though his last outing against Detroit looked good on paper, don't be fooled for a second! Hanson labored immensely allowing six hits in six innings along with just two strikeouts and four walks on 102 pitches. He didn't allow a run because the Tigers offense was inept that night. They had runners on base in nearly every inning but failed to get that one big, clutch hit with RISP to knock Hanson out of the game early. For the season Hanson has a 4.24 ERA and a porous 1.53 WHIP with a mediocre 8-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He could be in trouble tonight against an Oakland lineup that pounded out nine runs on 12 hits in a confidence boosting come from behind 9-8 win against Baltimore on Sunday. It's worth noting that Hanson is coming off the bereavement list after the recent death of his 24-year-old stepbrother and hasn't pitched in 10 days which could throw him completely off his rhythm.
Dan Straily will start for Oakland tonight in place of the injured Brett Anderson. Straily had a solid first start of the season limiting the Houston Astros to two runs and five hits in 6.2 innings of work back on April 5th. He didn't walk a single batter and struck out 11 in that outing. Straily will have the opportunity to face an anemic Angels lineup and has yet to hit despite the likes of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Mark Trumbo, Howie Kendrick and of course Josh Hamilton. The Angels have scored just 3, 0, 6, 2 and 1 runs in their last five games and the 6 run performance came against Aaron Harang. They are averaging just 4.04 runs per game which ranks 19th in the Majors. I expect Straily to do enough to keep the LA Angels struggling lineup quiet tonight.

Brooklyn -6
The Game 4 of this series was brutal with the Nets wasting a lead in the final minutes of the fourth quarter due to an insane show by Nate Robinson. However, after an insane 4th quarter, Nate Robinson struggled in the following possessions with a lot of mistakes that culminated with a silly 6th foul and forced him to leave the game. Obviously, after a triple overtime game, both teams will be banged up physically for tonight. However, Brooklyn will have two key edges that are essential on this series and that will give them a huge edge tonight: PG position, with Deron Williams crushing Nate Robinson, as Kirk Hinrich is out for tonight and he has been phenomenal on the 1*1 defense to Deron. Center position with Brook Lopez outplaying everybody tonight. Joakim Noah has been limited to 20/25 minutes per game, but it was forced to play almost 40 minutes on Game 4. His recovery for today will be very tough and so, Nazr Mohammed will have to play a lot of minutes today and he will get outplayed by Lopez. Besides that, the Bulls will come for this game will the thought that they will have a home game in Game 6 to close out the series and so, we will have two teams in here with a completely different mindset. Therefore, I also give the mental edge to the Nets tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.

Joe Gavazzi
Kansas City -140
Must take advantage of fading Jimenez as long as he remains in the rotation! This guy is on a downward trend ever since his remarkable 3 months in the first half of 2010. This year, the record for Jimenez is 0-2 with a 10.06 ERA and 1. 59 WHIP. Although Davis is off a busted start, he still has a 3.20 ERA. In a pair of outings vs. the Tribe, Davis has posted a 2.70 ERA.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Alex Smart
New York Yankees -1½
The Astros are the ALs worst team, and should be handled easily by the NY Yankees in this series and tonight. Houston leads the majors with 248 strikeouts which is an average of 9.9 per game and are the easiest team to score on in the league, giving up 5.9 runs per game.. Astros are 0-7 in the last 7 meetings in this series. These two teams are currently operating at the opposite end of the performance spectrum as the Yankees enter into this matchup off a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Freddy Wills
Cardinals -125
I'll take Adam Wainwright over Mat Latos any day of the week in this spot. Wainwright has more days rest and he's pitching at home where he has an ERA under 3 combined over the last 4 seasons. He also has better xFIP numbers this year and against the Reds hitters in general holding them to .198 average and .565 OPS. Cinic has struggled vs RHP batting just .225 on the year, but on the road they are hitting just .192 and scoring 3.25 runs per 9 along with their 6.92 BULLPEN ERA.
Latos on the other hand has not pitched well at Busch Stadium. Over his last 5 starts here he's given up 25 ER in just 22 IP. Cards have a .321 average and a .878 OPS against Mat Latos and are scoring 5.92 runs per 9 vs RHP at home on the year. They also are 52-24 in their last 76 home meetings with the Reds.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, April 29
Big Kat Sports
Baltimore Orioles -114
The Baltimore Orioles will look to continue their dominance over the Mariners when the two teams meet tonight at Safeco Field in Seattle. The Orioles took eight of nine from the Mariners last season, including a 5-1 record at Safeco and will send Zach Britton to the mound for his first start of the season. Britton did not make the team out of spring training but posted a 1-0 record with a 1.98 ERA in 3 starts at Norfolk before earning the promotion to the big club. He has pitched sparingly over the past few seasons, going 5-3 last year and owns a 2.57 ERA in two career starts versus Seattle. The Mariners will counter with Joe Saunders, who signed a free agent deal with the team in the off-season. The soft throwing lefty has been hammered in his last two starts, going just 9.2 combined innings while giving up 20 hits and 15 runs over that stretch. He has also struggled against the Orioles in his career, posting a 4.73 ERA over 40 innings pitched. The Orioles, who blew a lead late in Oakland yesterday to take a 9-8 loss have actually been very good in the spot they are in here tonight. They are 22-4 in their last 26 games following a loss dating back to last season and have won 8 of their last 9 games against teams from the American League West. Seattle, who took three of four from the Angles over the weekend, have struggled a bit coming off a win, losing 8 of 9 and have just a 1-4 overall record in games that Saunders has started this season. Pair that with the fact that the Orioles have been good against teams with a losing record, going 23-9 in their last 32 games in that spot and we'll take them at a pick tonight to get the win on the road.

Drinking and driving just don't mix.
With that in mind, a new transportation line to party in Kinston has started running from Pitt County to draw attention to Lenoir County.
Mother Earth Brewing debuted its "Beer Bus" Saturday evening, picking up patrons from Greenville to bring to Kinston.
"Lots of people would like to see Kinston and what we've got going on," Cellarman Joe Kavanagh said, "but it's just a little bit too far to see what's going on, have a beer and drive back."
Passengers toured Mother Earth Brewing and enjoyed some of the restaurants and entertainment downtown Kinston has to offer.
"We've been getting nothing but outrageous feedback about this," Kavanagh said, "so I think it's going to be a big hit."
Each Saturday, Greenville patrons will be picked up at noon and 6 p.m. from Peasant's Pub or 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. from Hilton Greenville. Approximately one hour later, the passengers arrive in Kinston and will have options to go on to the Mother Earth Brewery tour or go visit downtown.
A bus back to Greenville will load from Kinston at 5 p.m. and midnight.
"It's the fall, all the schools are back in and we just felt like it was the right time for us," Mother Earth co-owner Stephen Hill said. "We've been planning this since the beginning of the summer. We bought the bus last April, had it wrapped and spent the summer getting it ready to run. We even had someone get their license to drive it.
"People had been asking for it for a while, and now we'll be able to provide the services."
There have been custom changes to the former school bus, which can carry 40 passengers. For one, the bus went green — it uses bio-diesel fuel.
"The seats face each other, so they won't all be straight ahead," Hill said. "It will be a friendly atmosphere. We will have games for people on the bus and things for them to do while they're riding."
Driver Sarah Raynor took the bus for a test run Saturday at mid-day, and said she is excited about the new transportation.
"If it boosts up Kinston," she said, "and helps out with the downtown … it's great."
Starting next month, the Beer Bus will run on Friday nights, as well. Hill is also looking to expand to other areas soon.
"We are looking at maybe New Bern and Goldsboro," Hill said. "We're starting in Greenville to see what the demand is, and we've asked people in other areas if they need a bus. If they can fill it up and if we need more buses, we will get them."
Although there isn't an online registration for the beer bus, Hill said people can still make reservations to ride.
"Right now, people can send emails to firstname.lastname@example.com," Hill said. "Depending on popularity, we'll get an online reservation system. For now, we're flying by the seat of our pants."

Six years ago, on a twilight evening in May, Jonathan Scruggs was walking home from work when a car struck him from behind and sent his body flying into a ditch.
For six years, his family has struggled with their grief and waited for a trial.
Thursday afternoon, the man accused in his death pleaded guilty to misdemeanor hit-and-run and felony hit-and-run.
Shannon Lynn White, 35, was sentenced to 75 days in jail, three years of probation and a suspended sentence of about one year. He will also pay the Scruggs family restitution for funeral expenses, complete community service and is prohibited from drinking alcohol for three years or driving a vehicle.
What happened that night in 2007?
Thursday afternoon, Justin Scruggs stood in the courtroom, facing the man accused of hitting his brother with his car and then driving away, a handful of bright gold medals in one fist, a sheet of paper in the other.
Six years ago, those medals had been placed around his brother's neck after a karate competition.
He would have been 24 now if he had lived past his 18th birthday.
According to court testimony, about 8:30 p.m. May 22, 2007, Jonathan was walking home on Caleb Road after his first day employed at Five Guys restaurant when he was hit by a car driven by White.
District Attorney Rick Shaffer said White, 35, stopped by Ham's restaurant that evening for dinner. He had a few beers and a burger and then got into his red Saturn to head home.
According to information from the N.C. Highway Patrol, his blood alcohol level was most likely about .06, which is within the legal limit.
White's attorney, Julian Wray, said White was distracted by his cellphone while driving and reached down to grab it when he struck Jonathan.
Shaffer said Jonathan was not facing traffic and was about a foot onto the roadway.
According to the autopsy, he died of blunt force trauma to the head. His death was nearly immediate.
What happened after the collision?
The impact of the collision not only sent Jonathan's body flying nearly 70 feet through the air, but it also tore off the side mirror on White's car and shattered the windshield, Shaffer said.
White stopped and backed up a few feet but continued home and he said he hadn't seen anything.
When he got home, he told his brother and his fiancée he thought he had hit a mailbox or a deer, according to court testimony.
That night, when Jonathan hadn't returned home when expected, Justin and his father, Earl, went out looking.
The two found his body, cold and pulseless, lying by the side of the road in a ditch, a red side mirror close by.
It wasn't until the next morning that White woke up and thought he might have hit a person, Wray said.
When White was alerted to a story in The Star reporting Jonathan's death, he called 911.
'The one person who always had my back'
In an impassioned speech Thursday directed at White, Justin described his brother as athletic and intelligent.
He said Jonathan was high-functioning autistic but never considered his diagnosis a handicap.
He said his brother could pick up a book and read it cover to cover and then quote it back two years later.
"He was the one person who always had my back," Justin said.
Not long after Jonathan's death, White was convicted of drinking and driving.
Justin questioned him about why he would drink and drive after already causing one death.
"You didn't learn your lesson," he said. "You go out there and kill someone and then not even five years later, you're out getting an additional DWI."
His voice ringing out in the courtroom, Justin called White a selfish man.
'It's not going to fix anything'
Shaffer said after reviewing the case — which took six years to come to completion due to caseload, issues with witnesses and hospital stays by the defendant — he felt the charges White pleaded to Thursday were appropriate.
"It's not going to fix anything," he said.
He said the real crime was when White didn't stop his car.
"What if he hadn't been dead?" Shaffer asked. "What if he had laid there suffering? That's really what Mr. White is responsible for."
Shaffer said if he had stopped and reported the incident, White would most likely be facing an infraction, if anything.
'I apologize'
White's family and friends also attended the court proceedings.
Several spoke about how deeply the incident had impacted White.
They described him as a "good man," someone who was remorseful and who had been deeply affected by Jonathan's death.
His sister and father expressed their sympathy to the Scruggs family.
Wray said White, who has struggled with depression and other mental disorders prior to Jonathan's death, tried to commit suicide not long afterward and was committed to Kings Mountain Hospital.
"My client has expressed remorse," Wray said. "I wish he would turn around and say those magic words."
When Justin challenged White about his lack of apology to his family, White finally stood.
"I apologize," he said before sitting again.
'Doesn't represent the value of Jonathan'
After the sentencing, White was led away in handcuffs.
"Given the law, I think it's the best we could expect," Justin said. "But I'm looking to change the law."
He said he feels there should be stiffer penalties for felony hit-and-run convictions.
Shaffer encouraged Jonathan's family to move on with their lives and make their brother proud.
"The judgment that White got for killing Jonathan doesn't represent the value of Jonathan," Shaffer said.

Every month I get a magazine in the mail that makes me want to stop whatever I'm doing to open it and read it the second I get it. This month's issue was no exception. I literally giggled out loud when I saw that this month's issue is all about Italian food. Seriously, with an upcoming move to Italy (hopefully), this issue couldn't have landed in my mailbox at a better time.
The Food Network Magazine is jam-packed with tips, tricks, gadgets, mouth-watering photos, easy-to-follow recipes, and lip-smacking deliciousness on every single page. I love absolutely everything about this magazine, except when I flip to the last page, because that means I have to wait a whole month before the next issue arrives.
So here's my gift to you...I'm giving one person a year's subscription to the Food Network Magazine for free.
But wait! That's not all! Just by entering, you're also going to win this....
This, my friends, is one of my absolute favorite kitchen gadgets. Sure, it looks like a small, blue silicone tube, but what it does is pure magic.
Garlic lovers, read this carefully: you don't just want this in your life, you need it in your life. This little tube peels garlic in a matter of seconds. No more sticky, garlicky fingers. No more smashing it with a knife (although, that's a lot of fun sometimes). All you do is put the garlic in the tube, roll it with a little pressure, and BAM! Peeled garlic. Don't believe me? Here's a video I found of how it works:
Pretty spiffy, right? Right. Now for the rules...
Giveaway will close this Saturday, February 12, at 10 pm EST. I will announce a winner on February 13th.
1. Leave a comment telling me about the best meal you ever ate.
2. Tweet the following: I'm entered to win a Food Network Magazine subscription thanks to @jesstagirl's blogiversary extravaganza! http://tinyurl.com/4mfb2zx Then, come back here and tell me you tweeted (with your twitter username!)
*If you already have a subscription and you win, I'm happy to gift this to you as a renewal. Or you can give me someone else's name and address and I'll gift it to them from you.
Also, I'm sponsoring this giveaway. I'm paying for it. I'm ordering it. Food Network Magazine doesn't even know who I am. Yet.

A little drama in baseball never hurt anything.
The Hayes Pacers didn't score until the sixth inning, but received a solid outing from senior pitcher Tyler Miller and pushed home three runs in the sixth to scramble past the visiting Westerville Central Warhawks 3-1 Tuesday afternoon at Fouts-Wood Field in Delaware.
"Tyler did an excellent job and our defense did a good job behind him," Hayes coach Mike Yinger said. "We made a couple mistakes, but that's going to happen. You have to remember it's only the second week of the season. There is a lot more baseball to play, but it's been fun so far."
Miller surrendered an unearned run in the opening inning, but was strong throughout for Hayes (5-2), allowing just the run, five hits, one walk and four strikeouts in his complete-game victory.
Meanwhile, the Hayes offense struggled early against Westerville Central (7-2) starter Tyler Bertelsen, getting just four hits, a walk and a hit batsman through four innings.
The Pacers' aggressive base running also seemed to cost them early. Freshman Noble Moore was thrown out at second trying to steal with one out and sophomore Jake South at the plate. South ripped a double to left field afterward.
"Those were strategic," Yinger said. "When you have a 2-2 count on the nine-hole batter, you expect their pitcher to throw a fastball and your batter to hit the ball on the ground, so you try to get the runner in motion. Turns out he threw a curve ball and kind of stuck us, but give them credit. They got us."
Hayes lost another potential tying run in the fourth when junior Alex Rafeld was thrown out trying for third by Westerville Central shortstop Dillon West, who sprinted to the outfield to track down a hit by sophomore Conner Ulmer and made a solid defensive play.
"We had a kid coming around second base with one out, so we tried to stretch him and get him to third with one out," Yinger said. "It was just unfortunate their shortstop went out and made a fantastic throw."
Hayes' aggression would finally pay dividends in the sixth. Ulmer led off the inning with a double off the base of the fence in left, then scored when pinch hitter Colin Reed reached on a sacrifice bunt and took second on a throwing error by Warhawk catcher Sawyer Allen.
Senior Jake Wright then put another sacrifice bunt down the third base line, and Warhawk reliever Cameron Box threw the ball down the left-field line trying to catch pinch runner Austin Terry at third, allowing Terry to score and Wright to take second.
"We're aggressive on the bases and we do play small ball," Yinger said. "For a few innings, being aggressive caught up to us, but later in the game you have to keep playing your system. Most of the time, it works out for you."
Wright went to third on a balk call, and sophomore Greg Suber drew a walk to put runners on the corners. One out later, South attempted to put down a sacrifice bunt, but the pitch from Box was out of the strike zone, and Wright was caught in a rundown between third and home. Wright still helped his team, though, as senior pinch runner Ethan Nichol was able to move from first to third on the play.
South drove the count to 3-1, then ripped a single to left field that plated Nichol.
"Jake had a situation where he didn't get the squeeze down, and he knew we weren't happy about that, but it's part of the game," Yinger said. "You're not out, so continue playing the game, and he did that. That's a huge lesson to learn."
Central received a one-out double from Allen in the seventh, but Miller coaxed a pair of groundouts to strand Allen at third and end the game.
South and Ulmer led the Pacer offense, both going 2 for 3 with a double and South adding one RBI. Rafeld and Moore each went 1 for 3 with a single.
Box took the loss in relief, going two innings while allowing one earned run, two hits and two walks. Bertelsen allowed just the four hits and one walk while fanning three in four innings.
Allen and Connor Sitz each had a double for Westerville Central, while Matt Bracale, Connor Bush and Bobby Spiers had a single each.

Help for immigrant health-care workers
That first center, based at City College of San Francisco, has expanded to include nine others nationwide. That includes, I'm proud to say, the Northwest Washington Welcome Back Center at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, part of the Welcome Back Initiative (www.welcomebackinitiative.org).
The Welcome Back program, for immigrants who are either citizens or have green cards, helps put their experience, training, and knowledge -- not to mention bilingual skills -- to work in their new communities. More than 65 people -- from 27 different countries and speaking 30 different languages -- have seen positive results from the program at EdCC.
The program's benefit to immigrant health care workers is huge.
Many arrive here and learn that their training does not translate to a comparable job. Consequently, they may find themselves on public support and working low level jobs. But, with help from EdCC's Welcome Back Center, they can obtain their Washington state license, seek guidance in reaching their health care career goals, or explore other options in the health care field.
Just as important is the program's benefit to communities, which can further diversify their workforces. Our cities and towns are better served if more people make appointments for well-baby checks, prenatal care, and other important visits. And research shows that immigrants are more likely to get regular checkups if they feel a connection to their health care providers. It's simply more efficient if patients connect with those who speak their language and understand their culture. There are plenty of success stories. Here's just one:
A doctorate-level pharmacist entered the Welcome Back Center one day, seeking help in qualifying to take the pharmacy licensing exam. A permanent U.S. resident, she was seeking credit for the education, training, and experience she earned in Iran.
Although she trained as a pharmacy technician at EdCC in hope of finding related employment, her real goal was to become a licensed pharmacist. However, the Washington State Department of Health determined that she needed an additional 1,000 hours of clinical supervision as an intern -- almost six months working full-time -- to qualify for the exam.
Prior to arriving at the center, this hard-working woman told me she'd sent out more than 100 inquiries for jobs and internships, with no luck. But although internship opportunities for any health training program are usually limited to currently enrolled students, thanks to the Welcome Back Center this pharmacist was able to secure a spot at a nearby tribal clinic pharmacy.
I'm happy to say she's now well on her way to becoming fully licensed to practice.
Getting back into the heath care field is not easy, as our pharmacist from Iran will tell you. The time and energy participants must put forth takes a concentrated commitment, meaning those who want to enter health-care professions in the U.S. are highly motivated. But it's not simply motivation that's required. Those seeking licensing take the same tests as everyone else, so they must be fluent in English and have a working understanding of current medical practices and procedures in their fields.
Here's the challenge: Helping immigrants assimilate into health care professions is not something accomplished in the short term. Welcome Back Centers are nonprofit, and services are free. We rely on grant funding, which is money well spent for both immigrants and their communities.

National team competitions
22-9, 12-22, 31-12, 22-11
Tofas beat up Group A strugglers ETHA 87-54 as they warmed up for their decisive EuroChallenge showdown with KRKA Novo Mesto next week.
The two will go head-to-head for second spot in the group and a place in the last 16, and in this the penultimate round, Tofas laid down a marker with a dominant performance.
Austin Nichols scored 21 points to lead Tofas, with Joshua Heytvelt and Steven Burtt adding 15 each, whilst Can Altintig had 12.
They came tearing out of the blocks and an 8-0 run to close the first quarter put them 22-9 up.
ETHA rallied in the second quarter and courtesy of a 17-3 run snatched an unlikely lead, 26-25, on Pavel Englicky's free throws.
But Tofas soon restored order and they took a 34-31 lead into the break.
The third quarter then ended all resistance from ETHA as Tofas outscored them 31-12.
It began with back-to-back threes from Nichols and Heytvelt's dunk made it 50-33 just three minutes after the restart.
There would be no let up, either, with their biggest lead the winning margin - one that came on the back of a 14-2 charge to the finish in the final five minutes.
Donte Poole led ETHA with 17 points while Ogo Adegboye had 10.
Tofas head coach Ahmet ÇAKI"The team didn't have any problem in the third quarter, the problem was when we were up by ten, we lost control. I think we progress slowly. We have to win against KRKA. we played well today except the second quarter."
Tofas player Kerem GÜLMEZ"We had to win this game, although we were down by one, we won the game. We got one more game in our group and we have to win that game. We must think about the game in the national league against Hacettepe. Thanks to the coach for giving me time."
ETHA player Taron DOWNEY"At the beginning Tofas played well. They moved the ball and they shared the ball of offense, they played like a team and they are more physical than us."
ETHA head coach Kyriakos ADAMOU"Every away team has a chance to win the game before the game started. We tried to win this game also we thought that but we couldn't. In the first quarter Tofas played well then in the second we played good. We knew that Tofas are stronger than us. We tried to stop them but we allowed the opponent easy scores and we lost the game."
Stiven Bertt

I think the buzz I am getting more the day after the draft and one of the picks generating the most noise is the decision of the Kansas Chiefs selecting Tyson Jackson DE LSU at #3, and passing on OLB Aaron Curry from Wake Forest. I went on record in a real time blog of the first round that I thought this was a horrible move, and with two nights of sleep under my belt to ponder it, my thoughts have not changed. My nephew Nick was sitting at a Kansas City Royals game, when they cut to the draft on the jumbo tron, and he texted me to tell me when the pick went down, the crowd went nuts. The boos were out of control. Good for you Chiefs fans. Don't settle just because your new GM comes with some cache'. I was just going to use this as a chance to vent a little about this, and pimp Aaron Curry but I decided to drop a little knowledge while I am at it.
The 3-4 defense is not a new phenomenon. It's been around for a long time, but only in the last decade has it really become a hot trend in the NFL. And the NFL being nothing more than a copycat league, has seen a huge influx of 3-4 base defenses in the past handful of years. This really helps me illustrated the thesis of my stance. You DON'T draft a 3-4 defensive end with the third overall pick.
First, the college perspective and the philosophy behind the defense. First, name all the college football teams that run a base 3-4 defense? I suspect most college football fans can name the University of Virginia and then the headscratching starts. I did a little digging, and the best I could find is Maryland runs a little, Nevada runs it, and Utah runs some. So what does all this mean? That finding 3-4 defensive linemen and linebackers that are coming from a 3-4 system are going to be hard to come by. So for an NFL team that means whomever you draft to play in your 3-4 scheme will in all likelihood never played in it before so there will have to be some transition to the scheme and in many cases, especially on the line and the outside linebackers a complete position change. Now, I don't know about you, but when you consider how much money is wrapped up in a top 3 pick, do you really want to draft a guy who's going to have to play a new position for the first time? But hey, that's just me. Back to the facts.
Now, as I scan the NFL.com stats section for last year's top defenses a couple of things appear. First, the 3-4 defense last year generated 4 of the top 10 defenses. Now when you consider how few teams run the base 3-4(9 last year) that number is really significant. So, let's analyze those 4 defenses shall we? I think we shall.
Starting at the bottom, New England and their 3-4 was No. 10 in yards allowed. Their starting defensive ends, Richard Seymour and Ty Warren are both first round picks. Now KC fans before you start doing the pee pee dance and saying, "see, see, see?" let's dig a little deeper. Ty Warren has averaged around 55 total tackles, and a smidge over 3 sacks a year during his time in the league. Nice numbers for a 3-4 DE(we'll see how nice or not later). Richard Seymour meanwhile has averaged about 45 total tackles a year, and almost 5 sacks. Once again, respectable numbers for a 3-4 defensive end. Ok on to the next team(more to come later on these guys)
Next up are the Dallas Cowboys. They ranked No. 8 in total defense last year out of a base 3-4 package. Their starting defensive ends are Marcus Spears a first round pick, and last year was Chris Canty(now with the Giants). Canty was a 4th round pick. This year, the Cowboys will still have Spears but on on the other side will be a rotation of Igor Olshansky(a 2nd round pick) and Jason Hatcher(a 3rd round pick). Spears has averaged 28 total tackles per year and 1 sack. Canty has averaged 37 total tackles a year and about a 1.5 sacks.
Ok, movin' on up we come next to the Baltimore Ravens. They were 2nd in total defense. Very impressive. Their starting defensive ends were Trevor Pryce(1st round pick) and Justin Bannan(5th round pick). Pryce and Bannan's stats are tough to compare because both started their careers in 4-3 defense so for comparison's sake, since moving to the Ravens, their stats are comparable to those mentioned above.
And now the final of our Big 4. The Pittsburgh Steelers. They were the no.1 defense in the league last year, and in some eyes on of the best defenses maybe of all time. Their starting defensive ends were Aaron Smith(4th round pick) and Brett Kiesel(7th round pick). Smith's stats have averaged around 47 total tackles and about 4.5 sacks a year. Kiesel has averaged around 42 total tackles and about 2.5 sacks a year.
So what does all this mean, Basil? The numbers themselves are irrelevant to me. They are simply a point of comparison. It shows that a great 3-4 defense doesn't need to have huge statistical numbers from their defensive ends. And the difference in production between defensive ends on the top 4 3-4 defenses in the league is really unrelated to the round in which they were drafted. The reason for this? Because the role of the 3-4 DE is a lot like that of an offensive guard. Their job is to take up space, absorb lineman, and allow the linebackers behind them to make plays. No one expects a 3-4 DE to get 80 tackles and double digit sacks. And in every case above except one(Canty) the player is transitioning to their 3-4 DE role from either a DT role, or a 4-3 DE role.
The best defense in the NFL last year had a 4th round pick and a 7th round pick at end, and were the immovable object of the league. Why was that? Because in spite of everything you hear about building defense starting at the line, the 3-4 is built by the linebackers. James Harrison(Defensive player of the year) Larry Foote, James Farrior, Lamarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons made up what might be the best group of linebackers the league has ever had. And they made that entire defense work. You replace them with the linebackers of the Ravens or Patriots or Cowboys, that team isn't the same. On the reverse of that. You swap lines and put those linebackers behind one of the others, and their rank moves up. That's what I believe. The front 3 of a 3-4, especially the ends are role players. Their expectations aren't what a DE in a 4-3 are. Sorry gang, that middle 4 is where a 3-4 defense is won and lost. And Chiefs fans your middle 4 is going to be Derrick Johnson(gross underachiever), Mike Vrabel(33 years old) Zach Thomas(35 years old) and Tamba Hali(converted DE) with Demarrio Williams and Monte Biesel as top reserves. Good luck with that. Tyson Jackson, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jackson can help that.
Ok, so before I go too far off on my tangent, let's get back to the Chiefs draft. They are now run by Scott Pioli who's a former Patriot front office guy. So I get his approach philosophically to take Jackson at 3. The Patriots have committed plenty of high picks to their line. But in comparison to other 3-4 teams who haven't, have they gotten better production? No, they haven't. The Chiefs had a chance to draft a player in Aaron Curry who can be a difference maker in every game he plays. Tyson Jackson no matter how talented is not a difference maker. he's a space eater. Just like Purdue DT Alex Magee who the Chiefs drafted two rounds later. Now, don't get me wrong, if the Chiefs had drafted Curry they aren't a playoff team next year, but for a franchise that has floundered for a long time, they deserve better than Jackson as the first pick of a new era. They deserve and need a player like Curry who can make plays force teams to gameplan him, and change what offenses want to do. Does anyone think that Mike Vrabel and Zack Thomas are going to force any gameplan changes? Don't kid yourself.
My plan is to keep everyone updated on both Curry and Jackson this season and in the future. Curry went to a great situation in Seattle, and may be part of the best 4-3 group of linebackers in the league, simply by his inclusion. In my opinion, with the nature of 3-4 defensive ends and where they come from and how their succcess translates to the team, Pioli made a grave error. And I also think that every week, Aaron Curry is going to show them the error of their ways, while Tyson Jackson eats up blockers for an old and average linebacking unit. Sorry Chiefs fans. Living here in the midwest I feel your pain. Don't believe the spin on this pick. You aren't that much better today on defense than you were on Friday.

Oh, to be rid of conference call headaches. What a world it would be.
There are few aspects of the modern teleconference that can't be described as a "pain points." Digging up the dial-in and pass-code numbers. That awkward few seconds at the start of the call, when everyone talks at once.
Never quite knowing who is speaking, interrupting or lurking.
The conference call is a chaotic mess, and John Bracken and Danny Boice, co-founders of Dulles, Virginia-based Speek.com, officially Speek Inc., have built a particularly novel fix.

Close call with calamity
Volleyball champ survives health scare
No one would ever accuse Fred McConnell of being a couch potato.
At 70, the program head and professor of engineering at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC) is slim and fit, and plays volleyball three nights a week or more.
So McConnell was not too alarmed at first when his heartburn wouldn't go away.
Even after two months, when the chest discomfort did not respond to medication and his doctor recommended a stress test, McConnell shrugged it off.
"I just had a stress test a couple of years ago," he told his doctor -- who checked his records and countered, "No, it's been seven."
In those seven years, said McConnell, stress tests have changed considerably. His 2005 test was conducted on a treadmill with the physician in the room, monitoring his reaction to exertion.
The 2005 diagnosis? Chronic heartburn.
This time, his stress test was the nuclear version, in which a radioactive dye is injected into the bloodstream to help create images of the heart muscle and valves at work. The pictures showed that one of McConnell's heart chambers wasn't filling up as it should, and he was referred to a cardiologist for a heart catheterization.
Still relatively unfazed, McConnell scheduled the catheterization -- then rescheduled it a week later so that he could play in a volleyball tournament first.
"I was afraid they'd find something," he admits now. And find something they did.
'A real mess'
"I was only half awake," said McConnell, as he recalls coming out of the anesthesia after the catheterization. "But I remember the doctor telling me, 'You have a real mess in there.'"
Later, the cardiologist told McConnell he was surprised he had never had a heart attack -- though he saw signs that there may have been one of the "silent" variety.
McConnell consulted with a surgeon, who drew pictures of the three blockages and scheduled him for surgery two weeks later. Since McConnell was on spring break at the time, he asked the surgeon if it was okay to go back to work.
"That depends," answered the doctor. "Is your job stressful?"
McConnell chuckles as he recalls his answer.
"Not for me -- but maybe for my students!"
Finding a substitute to take over at JSRCC for the rest of the semester, McConnell underwent surgery on March 27. During the operation, a fourth blockage was found.
Nine weeks after his quadruple bypass surgery, McConnell traveled to Salt Lake City and won both silver and bronze medals at the USA Volleyball Open National Championships.
Rum and medals
More than 430 teams from around the world competed in the June championships.
A long-time member of the Richmond Volleyball Club, McConnell earned his silver medal as a member of the GROG-65 Team (pictured above) in one session, and his bronze medal in another session as a member of Team SOTA-70.
Team GROG, he says, takes its name from the acronym for "Greater Richmond Old Guys," but the name hardly fits any more. In addition to the Richmond players, McConnell has GROG teammates hailing from Texas, Colorado and Arkansas.
"Grog also was a rum drink for the British Navy," he adds, "so our uniforms have a rum bottle logo."
Last October, he won a gold medal in the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah, on a 65's team that was a blend of RVC and Canadian players. In a couple of weeks, he will head to Utah for this year's Huntsman tournament, and he looks forward to it.
"The weather in Utah is beautiful this time of year," says McConnell. "And it's a well-run tournament -- like a mini-Olympics."
'A second home'
A native of Gate City, Va., McConnell began playing intramural volleyball when he was a student at Virginia Tech. (The loyal Hokie and season ticket holder is actually a "triple dipper," having gotten his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in civil engineering at Tech.) During grad school, he says, "we would get the gym for an hour and play volleyball instead of basketball. The faculty was really into volleyball."
Moving to Richmond in 1972 to teach at the newly-opened JSRCC, following stints at Germana and Wytheville community colleges, McConnell was invited to play in volleyball leagues that eventually formed the basis of RVC (established in 1980).
"Now it's a second home," the Glen Allen resident says of RVC.
At his other second home, JSRCC, McConnell enjoys frequent visits and contacts from former students -- who, he says with a chuckle, "are often shocked to see I'm still teaching."
His daughter, a freshman at Christopher Newport University, recently told him that she had seen his reviews online on "Rate Your Professor" and noted that the only bad rating he got was for giving too much work.
"But I've never had a student come back and say, 'You worked me too hard,'" says McConnell.
"They say, 'Thank you for kicking my butt. I wouldn't have made it at [the four-year institution attended] if you hadn't."
Not long ago, in fact, McConnell says he got an email from a 1981 graduate of JSRCC who went on to get his bachelor's degree and professional engineer license at other schools.
"He said JSRCC was the best school he attended," recalls McConnell, "with the best professors."
At an age when most people have long ago retired, McConnell has no immediate plans to stop working -- or to stop playing volleyball. In fact, he not only goes to rehab once a week, but also frequently works out on the treadmill at Shady Grove YMCA.
"I don't sit around much. I have to [stay in shape] if I'm going to be competitive," he says.
After competing in the USA Open National Championships every year for 23 years, McConnell says he can't single out any one year as his most memorable -- but admits the 2012 Open is likely to stand out in his memory in years to come.
"Any time you get to the medal stand, that's an accomplishment on its own. But nine weeks after heart surgery?" he exclaims, making it clear that his close call with calamity renders the accomplishment all the sweeter.
And McConnell has a word of advice for anyone suffering from what seems to be chronic heartburn.
"If it doesn't go away, see your doctor," he says emphatically. "Especially if you're not active."

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

SPOKANE -- Spokane Police arrested a man accused of robbing and attacking a woman with an axe in E. Central Spokane.
31-year-old Greggory Pruett faces kidnapping and assault charges.
Officers responded to a robbery call in the area of 1st and Crestline on Dec. 30.
The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, shared her story with KREM 2 News. She said on Sunday morning, she was walking near an alley when a man approached her and asked if she wanted to get intimate with him.
The woman said when she refused him, the man picked her up and smacked her withthe blunt end of ahatchet. She said the man pulled her into an abandoned garage and told her he would kill if she screamed. The man hit her with the hatchet again.
The woman was able to get away, but not before the attacker broke her nose, knocked out several teeth and broke her shoulder.
She said the man also stole her purse before he ran off.
Bleeding, the woman knocked on the door of a nearby home for help.
A responding officer followed footprints in the snow to a home near 1800 E. 1st Ave. A person at the house told the officer Pruett had been there earlier and provided his address.
The officer found shoes outside the suspect s house that matched the footprints in the snow.
The victim s purse was also found inside the home, police said.
Pruett was booked into the Spokane County Hail for 1st Degree Robbery, 1st Degree Kidnapped and 1st Degree Assault.

Riskive, the Social Risk Management company, today announced it has secured $2.2 million in seed funding from Genacast Ventures (a fund formed in partnership with Comcast Ventures), Core Capital and a world-class group of individual investors. Riskive protects government and enterprise organizations from the next generation of security threats: Social Cyber Threats.
Angel investors participating in the round include Frank Bonsal (Founder of NEA) and serial entrepreneurs Greg Cangliosi, Bill Boyle and Andrew Eye, amongst others.
Social Risk Management is emerging as the next great security challenge for organizations which are being continually breached by a myriad of experienced attackers and hackers. Riskive's cloud-based technology platform is currently deployed in beta and leverages predictive analytics to protect against advanced cyber threats in multiple government and enterprise organizations.
"Social network technology and social media have proliferated into every aspect of business as well as our personal lives," said James C. Foster, CEO and Founder of Riskive. "Deploying a security solution based on predictive analytics to prevent attacks before they happen is the new standard for security. It's critical for organizations to understand the potential for malicious threats to invade into the core of a business via social streams. This type of invasion puts every aspect of a business at risk and has the capacity to entirely shut down an organization. With Riskive, organizations now have a constant ally to alert them in advance of these attacks."
Riskive has assembled a proven team of over 12 security experts. This quickly growing team is continuing to enhance Riskive's proprietary cloud-based technology platform that is dedicated to identifying, monitoring and preventing risk across the socially connected enterprise. Riskive's security technology allows for real-time protection of users, applications and social brand assets.

Nathaniel High has been in prison nearly a decade for shooting and killing his father.
The 26-year-old was sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
But that could change.
Because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, High's sentence could be lessened.
And he now has attorneys working on his case.
Death and consequences
High shot and killed his father, Randall High, in their Dallas home in 2002.
He had a co-conspirator, his then-girlfriend, Stephanie Poarch.
Both had guns and both fired them to kill Randall High as he slept.
During Nathaniel High's trial in 2004, defense attorneys said that Poarch brought one of the murder weapons, a .380-caliber pistol, into the High home.
During the trial, police testified that High told them Poarch fired the first shots with the handgun, and he followed with shots from a .22-caliber rifle.
Before the trial, prosecutors made an offer to High: plead guilty and get 40 years in prison.
High declined the deal, went to trial and was found guilty of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence in North Carolina.
Poarch was charged with first-degree murder five years after the slaying.
Rather than go to trial, Poarch accepted a plea offer. She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, common law robbery and obstruction of justice and was sentenced to 16 to 20 years in prison.
Too young for life
High was 15 when he killed his father. Poarch was 13.
The U.S. Supreme ruled in 2012 that it was unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
That ruling contradicted North Carolina's mandatory life sentence requirement.
Now some juvenile offenders sentenced to life in prison are bringing their cases back before judges.
High has found representation through N.C. Prisoner Legal Services, a non-profit law firm in Raleigh.
His attorneys have filed motions that have made their way to Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell.
Bell met with High's attorneys last week, and they'll soon be discussing the matter in front of a Superior Court judge.
"I have to review the file," Bell said. "There's a lot that has to be done."
Bell was not the District Attorney when High was convicted, but he is familiar with the case.
Converted sentence
Once High's case makes its way into the courtroom, a judge will rule about his sentence. The question of guilt will not be on the table, but how much time High serves behind bars will.
A judge could change High's sentence to life with the possibility of parole or determine a number of years that he should remain incarcerated, Bell said.
Because Poarch was not sentenced to life in prison, the Supreme Court decision does not affect her case. Her projected release date is 2024, according to the N.C. Department of Correction website.
According to High's attorneys, more than 80 people serving life sentences in North Carolina were juveniles at the time of their crimes.
Bell disagrees with the Supreme Court's decision. He said such matters should be decided by the state.
"I think the Supreme Court was wrong, but I have to live with their decision," he said.
