'The Blacklist' Recap, Season 1, Episode 7, 'Frederick Barnes'
The recap will be here in a moment, but first, a shout out to the folks who have been burning the midnight oil studying this show and posting numerous theories about it in the comment section. Last week, we had more than 60 theories and ideas about "The Blacklist" posted there. Every week, I am going to highlight some of the best. Several posters pointed out there is a strange carving on the lid of the boxed Liz found under her floor and hidden in Gina's room. Well, it turns out the carving looks very similar to the strange scar on Liz's hand (shown here). There is no way that is a coincidence!
One other cool little note from last week's episode, the painting that Red was admiring so much was Storm on the Sea of Galilee. In the comment section, SpaderLover points out that the painting was stolen from a Boston museum in 1990 in what is widely considered the biggest art theft in US history. Hats off to the show's writers for inserting fun little elements like this into the show, even if it takes a very savvy viewer to notice them.
Ok, enough about old episodes, time to focus on the present…
We begin in a subway car. Robert Sean Leonard (famous for the characters he played in Dead Poets Society and the TV show House) is on the train. He talks to a nice redhead who tells a sweet story about her father. RSL gets off but he has left his briefcase on the train. The redhead tries to get it to him, but the doors shut. Robert presses a button and the briefcase begins leaking a gas. Soon, everyone on the subway car is dead.
Liz and Tom are clearly all better. They are trying to decide what color to paint one of the rooms in the house. They cuddle and Liz admits to feeling terrible for doubting Tom's love. Her phone rings and she is called to the site of the DC subway attack.
At the scene, videotaped evidence shows the killer. Red calls FBI headquarters and tells them that he knows who was behind the attack, a scientist named Frederick Barnes. Red tells them the Barnes is brilliant and has the "tools and knowhow to kill thousands." Red says that Barnes has never executed an attack himself in the past and that worries Red. A motivated Barnes is "the most dangerous man in the world" according to Red.
Liz and Agent Ressler go to the hospital. The doctor there describes how the chemical attack worked. It involves a very rare disease that comes from nuclear materials. It is hard to obtain and Red tells the FBI that there is only one man who could have gotten it to Barnes. Red is going to meet the supplier, but it is out of the country. He invites Liz to come with him, but she refuses. She is angry at Red for framing Tom. Red insists that she will someday find out the truth about Tom. Liz walks away and Red heads to Havana to meet the nuclear supplier.
The FBI goes to meet with a woman who used to work with Barnes. Liz notices that the woman's son has the same rare disease that Barnes gave to all the people on the subway (Barnes' version of it was accelerated). It turns out that the boy is actually Barnes' son. Barnes is killing people with the disease to raise awareness of it and force doctors to work to find a cure. Barnes' motivation is to save his son… though the way he is doing it is to kill dozens of other people.
Red is in Havana, Cuba. He goes to meet with the nuclear supplier, a guy named Manny. Red tells the man he wants to buy the same nuclear material that was sold to Barnes. Red plants a bug so he can listen in when Manny calls Barnes to get some of the material back. Red is able to figure out Barnes' location and he calls Liz to tip her off.
We see Barnes enter a courtroom in Arlington, Virginia. He leaves a briefcase in the courtroom and blocks the doorway. Liz and Ressler arrive at the court but it is too late. Barnes pushes the button and the briefcase begins to leak the deadly gas. As Ressler tries to save the people in the court, Liz spies Barnes and begins chasing him. Barnes gets away by grabbing a security guard's gun and taking the man hostage. Meanwhile, Ressler finds a woman in the sealed courtroom who seems to have escaped the deadly gas.
One of Red's people pays double the asking price to buy a house in Maryland. Hmmm. This is a plot that will be played out over a long time, I suspect.
Back at the FBI, Liz gets in trouble for the way she handled the hostage situation. She is in trouble for surrendering her weapon and for letting Barnes get away.
The woman who survived the attack at the courthouse is in the hospital. Barnes sneaks into her room pretending to be an orderly. He gives her a sedative that knocks her out and pulls out some medical equipment. If I had to guess, I would suspect his attacks were aimed at finding someone who was immune to the disease so he could find a cure for his son.
Liz calls Red asking for help locating Barnes. Red says that Barnes will probably want to finish the job of killing the survivor. At the hospital, they figure out that Barnes is really trying to find a cure to save his son Ethan. Liz is racing to the Ethan's house but Barnes is already there. He drugs Ethan and begins to administer the cure as Liz bursts into the room. Barnes begs her to let him administer the cure. She points out that it is experimental and could kill Ethan. Barnes won't listen and tries to inject Ethan anyway. Liz fires several shots and Barnes is dead.
Somehow, Red defies space and time by arriving at the crime scene as Liz is leaving (even though we last saw him on a plane flying from Cuba). Red makes a crack about how he can sympathize with Barnes' willingness to "burn the world down" to protect someone he loves. Liz thinks Red is talking about their relationship but he says she is being presumptuous. He tells Liz that he will walk away if she asks him to. Liz is silent and Red says, "See you tomorrow."
Back at home, Tom has set up a romantic night for Liz, recreating the first night they spent in this house. They kiss tenderly.
Red pulls up to the house in Maryland that he bought for a ridiculous amount. "Strange," he says, "I remember it being bigger." His assistant asks, "Why this place?" and Red replies that he raised his family in this house. He pulls off a board an sees markings where he tracked the growth of his daughter many years ago. Red's henchmen say they have prepared the house and that it is time to go. "I spend every day trying to forget what happened in this house. Maybe this will help." As he pulls away, the house explodes (in some very cheesy-looking special effects).
And the episode is over…
This was a decent episode. Robert Sean Leonard is a good actor and gave Barnes some humanity, but it wasn't all that important to the overall storyline of the show. We saw a little bit of Red's backstory, though not very much. I continue to think that though they are connected from waaay back, Liz is not Red's daughter. I am still dying to know what is up with Tom, but that story will take a while to unfold, I am sure.
So, what did you think? What are your theories? Chime in in the comments section! I'll see you there!

Veach's, locally owned and operated in Richmond for many decades, is featured in the current edition of Country Living Magazine.
Sitting at my aunt's table tonight, it was quite exciting to see the store we grew up with featured in a national magazine which recognized the success and longevity of the toy store, which was once a five and dime when it began in the 30's.
Shown in the picture highlighted in Country Living Magazine, are the current owner and his granddaughter Baleigh standing amongst the wonderful display of trains available at their store. There is also mention of John Veach, son, and also manager of the daily operations at Veaches.
Memories of the birthday castle and the changes the store has gone through came flooding back as I read the article touting the achievements of maintaining a locally owned store.
When you are looking for that unique toy or game for your special child this Christmas remember Veach's, a now nationally recognized store in our midst, with the same hometown feel that has served us all from our own childhoods to our children's.

Two people were arrested here Thursday, Dec. 5, after a quick drug investigation.
Angela M. Schropp, 38, of St. James, was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and Robert L. Quick, 42, of St. Robert, was charged with one count of the same charge, according to the Phelps County Sheriff's Department.
Bail for Schropp was set at $50,000. Quick's bail was set at $25,000, according to the sheriff's office.
A "short-term narcotics investigation" was conducted by the South Central Drug Task Force, Phelps County Sheriff's Department and Rolla Police Department.
Information gleaned from that investigation led to a search warrant that was served at a residence in the 500 block of Kyle Avenue in St. James.
"During the search of the residence, officers located heroin, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia," the sheriff reported.

2.6-3 Consciousness of Guilt
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified November 1, 2008)
In any criminal trial it is permissible for the state to show that conduct or statements made by a defendant after the time of the alleged offense may have been influenced by the criminal act; that is, the conduct or statements show a consciousness of guilt.1
[<Include if appropriate:> For example,
flight, when unexplained, may indicate consciousness of guilt if the facts and the circumstances support it.
a person's possession of or attempt to conceal anything acquired through the crime may tend to show a consciousness of guilt.
a person's false statements as to (his/her) whereabouts at the time of the offense may tend to show a consciousness of guilt.]
Such (acts / statements) do not, however, raise a presumption of guilt.2 If you find the evidence proved and also find that the (acts / statements) were influenced by the criminal act and not by any other reason, you may, but are not required to, infer from this evidence that the defendant was acting from a guilty conscience.3
The state claims that the following conduct is evidence of consciousness of guilt: <describe specific evidence>.
It is up to you as judges of the facts
to decide whether the defendant's (acts / statements), if proved, reflect a
consciousness of guilt and to consider such in your deliberations in conformity
with these instructions.
1 It is improper to refer to a "guilty connection" as a synonym for "consciousness of guilt." State v. Francis, 228 Conn. 118, 133 n.16 (1993); State v. Murdick, 23 Conn. App. 692, 702-703 & 703 n.6, cert. denied, 217 Conn. 809 (1991).
2 See State v. Lugo, 266 Conn. 674, 697 (2003).
3 See State v. Hernandez, 91 Conn. App. 169, 177, cert. denied, 276 Conn. 912 (2005) (court improperly instructed that statements when shown to be false are circumstantial evidence of consciousness of guilt rather than that they are circumstantial evidence from which may be inferred a consciousness of guilt).
"Once the evidence is admitted, if it is sufficient for a jury to infer from it that the defendant had a consciousness of guilt, it is proper for the court to instruct the jury as to how it can use that evidence. It is then for the jury to consider any ambiguity." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Middlebrook, 51 Conn. App. 711, 720-21, cert. denied, 248 Conn. 910 (1999). "Whether particular conduct is an index of guilt depends on the particular circumstances." State v. Jones, 234 Conn. 324, 356 (1995) (evidence that defendant objected to physical tests on religious grounds was not probative of consciousness of guilt); see also State v. Hinds, 86 Conn. App. 557, 565-67 (2004), cert. denied, 273 Conn. 915 (2005) (false statements to the police could not support inference that they were made in an effort to exculpate the defendant). For an opinion critical of giving this instruction, see United States v. Mundy, 539 F.3d 154 (2nd Cir. 2008).
A consciousness of guilt instruction applies only to the conduct of the defendant, not that of a witness. State v. Stavrakis, 88 Conn. App. 371, 386 (2005), cert. denied, 273 Conn. 939 (2006) (defendant wanted victim's statements to show consciousness of guilt that the victim had been the initial aggressor)
Types of consciousness of
The most commonly offered types of consciousness of guilt are flight, false statements, or concealment or fabrication of evidence. The instruction should be tailored to the evidence of the case, but the court should be careful not to improperly marshal the evidence. See State v. Hernandez, 218 Conn. 458, 461-66 (1991) (court presented a partisan view of the evidence which discounted the defendant's evidence and his theory of defense).
On flight, see State v. Kelly, 256 Conn. 23, 53 n.17 (2001); State v. Scott, 270 Conn. 92, 104 n.7 (2004), cert. denied, 544 U.S. 987, 125 S.Ct. 1861, 161 L.Ed.2d 746 (2005); State v. Groomes, 232 Conn. 455, 473 n.14 (1995). An instruction that does not include innocent explanations, even if presented by defendant, is not erroneous, but it is within the court's discretion to include reference to a possible innocent explanation that is supported by the evidence. State v. Hines, 243 Conn. 796, 811-816 (1998); State v. Freeney, 228 Conn. 582, 593-94 (1994). See also State v. Freeney, supra, 228 Conn. 602-10 (Berdon, J., dissenting) (proposing an even-handed approach to flight instructions).
On false statements, see State v. Marshall, 45 Conn. App. 66, 80 n.9 (1997), rev'd on other grounds, 246 Conn. 799 (1998) (statements meant to inculpate others); State v. Graham, 33 Conn. App. 432, 441 n.3, cert. denied, 229 Conn. 906 (1994) (false testimony at trial).
On concealment or fabrication of evidence, see State v. Coltherst, 263 Conn. 478, 503-507 (2003) (defendant wrote letter offering money in exchange for an alibi).
Flight in relation to the
duty to retreat
"The section of the statute that pertains to the duty to retreat merely allows the state to rebut a claim of self-defense by showing that the defendant could have retreated safely before using deadly force. It does not follow that a defendant is statutorily or constitutionally entitled to use evidence of retreat after using deadly force to bolster a claim of self-defense without permitting the jury to consider other possible reasons for the flight. As in other contexts, evidence of flight after using deadly force inherently is ambiguous and does not logically compel a conclusion that the reason for the flight was self-defense. Although it may be prudent, as a general rule, for the trial court to use greater caution in giving a consciousness of guilt instruction when a defendant has claimed self-defense, we do not believe that such instructions [on consciousness of guilt] inherently are unconstitutional." (Emphasis in original.) State v. Luster, 279 Conn. 414, 424 (2006).
Consciousness of
The court is not required to give an instruction on "consciousness of innocence" because there is no support in the law for such a request. State v. Holley, 90 Conn. App. 350, 364-66, cert. denied, 275 Conn. 929 (2005); State v. Otero, 49 Conn. App. 459, 469-70, cert. denied, 247 Conn. 910 (1998) (defendant not entitled to instruction on lack of flight or voluntary surrender to show consciousness of innocence).

A Byesville woman went from giggles to tears as she received the maximum possible penalty in Washington County Common Pleas Court Wednesday for her role in trafficking drugs in the county.
Erica R. Kohl, 32, of 9540 Indian Lake Road, Byesville, was sentenced to six months in the Washington County Jail, five years of community control sanctions and a five-year driver's license suspension on a fourth-degree felony charge of trafficking in drugs.
Kohl, along with Jonathan Primack, 28, of the same address, is accused of selling 20 Oxycodone tablets to an undercover task force agent at the Adult Mart in Macksburg in March. Kohl was also charged with selling another 20 pills at the same location in April.

The Marietta Times
Convicted drug trafficker Erica Kohl, right, went from smiles to tears in Washington County Common Pleas Court Wednesday as she received the maximum punishment for her crime.
Kohl was initially charged with two third-degree counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, but pleaded on Oct. 23 to a single lesser charge of fourth-degree felony trafficking in drugs.
Primack was indicted in July on one county of aggravated trafficking in drugs, a third-degree felony. There is currently a warrant out for his arrest.
"They took the money and they were on their way to Cleveland to buy more drugs. She is a drug trafficker," said Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Ed Lane.
Kohl got off to rough start when she was more than a half hour late for her 8 a.m. sentencing.
Lane issued a warrant for Kohl's arrest around 8:16 a.m but the warrant had not been signed by the time Kohl appeared at 8:40 a.m.
She also failed to provide the court with mandated documents regarding drug and alcohol assessment and her court-ordered counseling.
"I am concerned the sentencing started late because of the fact that the defendant was not here. Now apparently we do not have an evaluation that the court ordered," said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Alison Cauthorn.
Kohl's attorney, public defender Shawna Landaker, assured Lane that her client had been keeping up with her drug and alcohol counseling.
"How do I know that?" asked Lane.
"I mean I guess we could call and get verification," offered Landaker.
"She is not going to be the tail that wags this dog," Lane retorted.
During a lengthy, rambling statement to the court, during which Kohl laughed several times, she said she could not send the documents because no one returned her calls requesting a fax number for Lane's office.
"I really tried, you know, getting these letters to you, because I wanted you to know, that you know, I was pulling my end," she said before letting out a giggle.
Kohl's behavior in court made is apparent that she was not willing to deal with her drug addiction, said Lane.
"You are willing to make excuses and laugh and giggle in here and smile. I do not think you're willing to deal with it," he said just prior to handing down his sentence.
Recent changes in the Ohio Revised Code prevent judges from issuing prison sentences on most fourth and fifth-degree felony charges, as was the case with Kohl.
Still, Kohl's smiles and laughs quickly faded to tears and distress as the sentence was handed down.
Kohl's six month county jail sentence and five years of community control were the maximum allowable by law, said Lane.
If Kohl commits any other infractions or violates any conditions of her community control sanctions, including missing a single drug and alcohol counseling appointment, Lane said he would send her to prison for the maximum 18 months.
"Ms. Kohl, you haven't done one single thing I asked of you, and you've got every sorry excuse in the book," he said.
Kohl attempted to interrupt Lane at least three times during sentencing, but was hushed by Landaker and Lane.
"Ma'am, I've listened to you...It's over," said Lane before recessing.
After the hearing, Kohl continued to cry and plead for leniency, citing the fact that she would not be able to spend Christmas with her son. She also pleaded for the chance to smoke "one last cigarette" but was denied her request.

OAKLAND -- Steve Blake is really tired of packing bags and getting on airplanes. It was tough enough to be traded midseason, but embarking on a six-game trip just two games after joining the Warriors isn't exactly a welcome junket.
"I just did a trip like that with L.A.," said the veteran guard, who was dealt by the Los Angeles Lakers to Golden State on Wednesday. "So I've already been to most of these places we're playing once."
Indeed, the Warriors will visit Detroit, Chicago, New York, Toronto, Indiana and Boston over the next 10 days, starting Monday against the Pistons. Blake passed through all but two of those cities during a brutal monthlong stretch in which the Lakers played 13 of 16 games on the road, including a seven-game swing through the East in late January.
"I was hurt, too, so I didn't get to play in any of them even though I made the trip," he said. "At least this time, I'll get to play on the East Coast."
Road-weary as he might be, Blake knows this trip will help fast-track his integration with the Warriors. Players are together a lot more when they're away from home, and it can be good for team bonding, particularly for a new player.
"You get to spend a lot of time on planes together and just hang out with the guys," he said. "Then maybe in a certain city you'll go out and grab dinner or something and start to feel more comfortable with them personally, and them with you."
On the court, Blake has gotten a crash course. He played 18 minutes off the bench in his first game against Houston on Thursday and 16 in the Warriors' 93-86 victory over Brooklyn on Saturday night, including 6½ in the fourth quarter. He made two 3-point baskets during that stretch and also had some key assists that helped the Warriors stave off the stubborn Nets.
Blake, who turns 34 this Wednesday, believes he's already made some assimilation strides.
"You start to figure out the style of play pretty quickly, how pick-and-rolls are run and defensive concepts," he said. "When you talk about them off the floor, you understand them, but you don't really get a feel for them until you get on the court and play. Then it really starts to sink in.
"There are some things that are a little different from L.A. that I'll have to get used to, but I just hope to make progress from game to game."
Blake has a checklist of on-court priorities he hopes to achieve on this trip.
"The first thing is understanding the terminology," he said. "I have to learn that stuff quickly so when coach (Mark Jackson) calls something out, I know what to do. That's pretty important. After that, it's just learning and understanding my teammates -- who likes the ball where, what plays different guys like to run the most, what their strengths are. It'll take a little bit of time."
It's not much of a secret that Blake enjoyed his 3½-year stint with the Lakers, and even with the allure of going to a winning team that needed him to help secure a playoff berth, it wasn't easy emotionally to leave. But he said the rousing reception he received from Warriors fans during his debut made him feel a lot better about it.
"I was pleasantly surprised," he said. "I was just tying my shorts, and I heard this roar. I didn't realize what was going on, and I finally looked up and figured it out."
Blake knows there's more to be done, though, before he feels fully integrated.
"Changing teams is a learning curve," he added. "But I've done it before, so it's nothing new to me. Basketball is basketball. I did spend a lot of time (in L.A.), got used to the area and settled in my family, so that side of it is a little bit harder. But I feel a lot more comfortable than I thought I would."

Experimental program aims to show cycling can slow down the disease By BARBARA PETERS SMITH,
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 10:58 p.m.
Inside a sweat-steamed cycling studio at the Frank G. Berlin branch of the Sarasota YMCA, members of a highly select class are pedaling their hearts out.
"I shut off my phone and throw it in the glove box, because I don't want to be tempted to use it."
Mehgan Pariseau, 19, a member of SADD -- Students
Against Destructive Decisions
In the narrow, dimly lit room, the cyclers seem intent on a bright screen before them that looks like something from a TV game show, with colored squares that display their first names and their real-time heart rates. Each square is green, yellow or red -- depending on how close that participant is to an individual, pre-set goal for sustained high-energy exercise.
When the session ends, the riders dismount, beaming with exhilaration from their efforts, softly chatting and laughing with each other. Some show the off-kilter posture or slightly fluttering hand that is a hallmark of the Parkinson's disease they have in common. Others may sway their hips from side to side as they speak about the class.
But all of them -- at an average age of 71 and 12 weeks into their experimental cycling program -- believe they are better off than when they started.
The 17 participants, from age 60 to 78, are local patients diagnosed with Parkinson's -- an age-related progressive neurological disorder that limits movements, balance and the ability to have a normal life. They volunteered for a study conducted by the Neuro Challenge Foundation, a Sarasota non-profit, with a grant from the Roberta Leventhal Sudakoff Foundation. Once the research data are analyzed and published, Sarasota's fledgling "Pedaling with Parkinson's" class could become a model for offering hope to patients like them everywhere.
This observational study is intended to quantify what so far has been anecdotal evidence that twice-weekly cycling sessions at top speed can soften or delay many symptoms of the disease.
"Some of the benefits we have already seen are improved speech, improved gait and balance," says Jennifer Williams, a care adviser for Neuro Challenge who has tracked the volunteers through the 12-week study. "A lot of folks are coming in without their walkers and their canes. Now they are getting on and off the bikes by themselves, which is huge. And the camaraderie of the class has helped with a lot of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, the depression and anxiety."
Doug Tate, 64, was diagnosed with the disease about a year ago after he and his wife noticed some early signs, like a new habit of tapping his foot. Now he has tremors in his right arm and leg. But a week into the study, he noticed that the tremor in his arm vanished temporarily as a result of the cycling sessions. Even better, his overall energy level rose.
"It's the trying that gets you going," he says. "It's one thing to notice the progress on those charts, and it's another to notice the changes yourself. Even my neighbors have noticed it; they said to me, 'Your facial expression is brighter, you're walking more upright, your pace has picked up.'"
Serendipity on a bike
Tate is right; trying harder is the secret behind this low-tech treatment for the ravages of Parkinson's. When biomedical engineer Jay Alberts was an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in 2003, he went on a summer long-distance cycling event with a friend whose wife had the disease. Riding a tandem bike, the couple "had the traditional difficulties that married people do," and Alberts offered to ride with the wife.
"I remember that one time she said, 'It doesn't feel like I have Parkinson's when I'm on the bike,'" recalls Alberts, now at the Cleveland Clinic. Then one night at the camp, Alberts saw a birthday card the woman had written to a cyclist in their group.
Instead of her usual "micrographia" -- the tiny handwriting typical of Parkinson's sufferers, "that card looked perfect," Alberts says. "That was my first idea that there might be something going on."
In 2009, Alberts published a research paper in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, reporting experiments at the Cleveland Clinic using a stationary tandem bike that increased Parkinson's patients' speed to 30 percent more than their preferred cycling pace. This forced exercise, he and his co-authors wrote, led to "global improvements in motor function."
The paper caught the eye of Sarasota neurologist Dean Sutherland, the medical director for Neuro Challenge. Sutherland knew Alberts' cousin, who lives in Sarasota, and used the connection to invite him to speak at the foundation's annual symposium here.
Sutherland calls this chain of events "serendipitous," the same term Alberts applies to his initial mental link between pedaling and Parkinson's.
"We wound up putting an idea together to obtain a grant to do a pedaling study," Sutherland says. While the motor skills measurements from the study have not yet been crunched, he says, "The people who've done the spinning classes -- in or out of the study -- are more mobile and have better endurance and balance than other patients."
Because the program is so new, researchers do not yet know why these improvements occur or how long they might last. But after years of having to tell people they have an incurable disease, Sutherland is heartened by the idea of having something helpful to offer them.
"It's fantastic," he says. "It's such a positive thing and it's not even that complicated -- ultimately, not even that expensive. It shows them they have more capability than they realize, and that gives them self-confidence and hope."
Alberts, now studying why forced exercise lessens the motor impairments of Parkinson's, says the Sarasota pedaling project can prove that what works in his lab will achieve comparable results in the real world.
"I give the Sudakoff organization a lot of credit for supporting something that's not necessarily what you would typically consider for medical support," he says. "I think what's really important about this study is that the volunteers set an example. Now Sarasota can be this crown jewel with respect to a program that can be emulated across the country."
The smell of cookies
Charlie Campbell, a senior cycling instructor at the Berlin YMCA, has been part of the Parkinson's project since it began as a trial effort in November 2011. Now the Potter Park Y also offers a class, and a video and training manual are in the works for YMCAs nationwide.
"We started out with one time a week, because we were trying to learn what we were doing," Campbell says. "We really wanted to go slow because we were concerned that nobody had ever done this before. If we were going to make mistakes, we said, let's make as few as we possibly can."
Campbell admits he had some doubts when the first Parkinson's patients -- many of them older and not used to exercising -- had trouble even mounting the stationary bikes. But he and the instructors learned to step up the workouts gradually, lengthening their intervals and speeds so they could begin to feel benefits.
"After they do it for a while, you see consistent results," Campbell says, "like tremors being reduced, and feeling a lot better about their balance. And their hearing, taste and smell come back. If you haven't smelled a chocolate chip cookie in a while, and then you can, it's a big deal."
Christine Ludwig, diagnosed 14 years ago, had not ridden a bicycle for years when she agreed to participate in the study. She has enjoyed watching her classmates' confidence levels rise as they "walk taller and straighter."
Although she has not yet seen her own before-and-after measurements, Ludwig says, "I absolutely believe that the progression of the disease has been slowed in my case. With Parkinson's, even just to hold your own is wonderful, and I was not as good before as I am now."
George Mass, 72, has lived with the disease since 2000. Since his wife signed him up for the study, he has gone from a stationary bike at the Y to being able to ride a recumbent bike in his Sarasota neighborhood. He describes the class as hard work, but worthwhile.
"Well," he says, "you have to earn a lot of things. And that includes your health when you're my age."

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Cancer or treatment for cancer may cause you to feel pain.
Tumors, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy may cause you pain. Patients with advanced cancer have more severe pain, and many cancer survivors have pain that continues after cancer treatment ends.
Pain control can improve your quality of life.
Pain can be controlled in most patients with cancer. Although cancer pain cannot always be relieved completely, there are ways to lessen pain in most patients. Pain control can improve your quality of life all through your cancer treatment and after it ends.
Pain can be managed before, during, and after diagnostic and treatment procedures.
Many diagnostic and treatment procedures are painful. It helps to start pain control before the procedure begins. Some drugs may be used to help you feel calm or fall asleep. Treatments such as imagery or relaxation can also help control pain and anxiety related to treatment. Knowing what will happen during the procedure and having a relative or friend stay with you may also help lower anxiety.
Each patient needs a personal plan to control cancer pain.
Each person's diagnosis, cancer stage, response to pain, and personal likes and dislikes are different. For this reason, each patient needs a personal plan to control cancer pain. You, your family, and your healthcare team can work together to manage your pain. As part of your pain control plan, your healthcare provider can give you and your family members written instructions to control your pain at home. Find out who you should call if you have questions.
This summary is about ways to control cancer pain in adults, including the following:
You and your healthcare team work together to assess cancer pain.
It's important that the cause of the pain is found and treated quickly. The first step in controlling pain is to assess and measure it. Your healthcare team will help you measure pain levels often, including at the following times:
To learn about your pain, the healthcare team will ask you to describe the pain with the following questions:
This information will be used to decide how to help relieve your pain. This may include drugs or other treatments. Your healthcare team will work with you to decide how much pain you can stand and how much improvement you should expect. After pain control is begun, the doctor will continue to assess how well it is working for you and make changes if needed.
The family or caregiver may be asked to give answers for a patient who has a problem with speech, language, or understanding.
A physical exam and tests will be done to help plan pain control.
The assessment will include the following:
Your healthcare team will also assess your mental and spiritual needs.
The doctor will prescribe drugs based on whether the pain is mild, moderate, or severe.
Your doctor will prescribe drugs to help relieve your pain. These drugs need to be taken at scheduled times to keep a constant level of the drug in the body to help keep the pain from coming back. Drugs may be taken by mouth or in other ways, such as by infusion or injection.
Your doctor may prescribe extra doses of a drug that can be taken as needed for pain that occurs between scheduled doses of drug. The doctor will adjust the drug dose for your needs.
Acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used to relieve mild pain.
NSAIDs help relieve mild pain. They may be given with opioids for moderate to severe pain. Acetaminophen also relieves pain, although it does not have the anti-inflammatory effect that aspirin and other NSAIDs do.
Patients, especially older patients, who are taking acetaminophen or NSAIDs need to be closely watched for side effects. See Treating Pain in Older Patients for more information. Most NSAIDs affect the blood platelets so that it takes longer for blood to clot and stop any bleeding. Aspirin should not be given to children to treat pain.
Opioids may be used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
Opioids work very well for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Some patients with cancer pain stop getting pain relief from opioids during long-term therapy. This is called tolerance. Larger doses or a different opioid may be needed if your body stops responding to the same dose. Tolerance of an opioid is a physical dependence on it. This is not the same as addiction (psychological dependence). Opioid doses can be safely increased by your doctor as needed for your pain, without causing addiction.
There are several types of opioids:
The doctor will prescribe drugs and the times they should be taken in order to best control your pain.
Most patients with cancer pain will need to receive opioids on a regular schedule.
Receiving opioids on a regular schedule helps manage the pain and keeps it from getting worse. The amount of time between doses depends on which opioid is being used. The correct dose is the amount of opioid that controls your pain with the fewest side effects. The dose will be slowly adjusted until there is a good balance between pain relief and side effects. If opioid tolerance does occur, it can be overcome by increasing the dose or changing to another opioid.
Sometimes, the opioid dose needs to be decreased or the opioid is stopped. This may be done when you no longer have pain because of treatments such as nerve blocks or radiation therapy. The doctor may also decrease the dose if it makes you too sleepy or if your kidney function decreases.
Opioids may be given in different ways.
Opioids may be given by the following ways:
Common side effects are nausea, sleepiness, and constipation.
Your doctor will discuss the side effects with you before opioid treatment begins and will watch you for side effects. The following are the most common side effects:
Sleepiness and nausea most often occur when opioid treatment is first started and usually get better within a few days.
Opioids slow down the muscle contractions and movement in the stomach and intestines, which can cause hard stools. To keep the stool soft and prevent constipation, it's important to drink plenty of fluids. Unless there are problems such as a blocked bowel or diarrhea, you will be given a treatment plan to follow to prevent constipation and information on how to avoid problems with your intestines while taking opioids.
Other side effects of opioid treatment include the following:
Talk with your doctor about side effects that bother you or become severe. The doctor may decrease the dose of the opioid, change to a different opioid, or change the way the opioid is given to help decrease the side effects. See the following PDQ summaries for more information about coping with these side effects:
Other drugs may be added to help treat your pain.
Other drugs may be given while you are taking opioids for pain relief. These are drugs that help the opioids work better, treat symptoms, and relieve certain types of pain. The following types of drugs may be used:
There are big differences in how patients respond to these drugs. Side effects are common and should be reported to your doctor.
Bisphosphonates are drugs that are sometimes used when cancer has spread to the bones. They are used to decrease pain and reduce risk of broken bones. However, bisphosphonates sometime cause severe side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have severe muscle or bone pain. Bisphosphonate therapy may need to be stopped.
The use of bisphosphonates is also linked to the risk of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis (BON). See the PDQ summary on Oral Complications of Chemotherapy and Head/Neck Radiation for more information.
The use of cannabinoids given with pain medicine is being studied for cancer-related pain.
Radiation therapy may be used to relieve bone pain.
Radiation therapy is used to relieve pain in patients with cancer that has spread to the bone. This is called palliative radiation therapy. It may be given as local therapy directly to the tumor or to larger areas of the body. Radiation therapy helps drugs and other treatments work better by shrinking tumors that are causing pain. Radiation therapy may help patients with bone pain move more freely and with less pain.
The following types of radiation therapy may be used:
External radiation therapy
External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation toward the cancer. External radiation therapy relieves pain from cancer that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy may be given in a single dose or divided into several smaller doses given over a period of time. The decision whether to have single or divided dose radiation therapy may depend on how convenient the treatments are and how much they cost.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. This type of radiation therapy causes less damage to nearby normal tissue. SBRT may be used to treat tumors that have spread to the bone, especially spinal tumors. SBRT may also be used to treat areas that have already received radiation.
Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain a radioactive substance that may be used to diagnose or treat disease, including cancer. Radiopharmaceuticals may also be used to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bone. A single dose of radioactive agent injected into a vein may relieve pain when cancer has spread to several areas of bone and/or when there are too many areas to treat with external radiation therapy.
Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses a special probe with tiny electrodes to kill cancer cells. Sometimes the probe is inserted directly through the skin and only local anesthesia is needed. In other cases, the probe is inserted through an incision in the abdomen. This is done in the hospital with general anesthesia. This procedure may relieve pain in patients who have cancer that has spread to the bone. More studies are needed to learn about possible risks and benefits.
Radiation therapy with bisphosphonates
The use of radiation therapy given together with bisphosphonates is being studied in patients with cancer that has spread to the bone. More studies are needed to find out if this relieves pain better than radiation therapy alone.
When radiation therapy does not relieve pain, other treatments may be used.
Other therapies can be used along with drugs and radiation therapy to manage pain. You can help decide which methods work best to relieve your pain.
Nerve blocks
A nerve block is the injection of either a local anesthetic or a drug into or around a nerve to block pain. Nerve blocks help control pain that can't be controlled in other ways. Nerve blocks may also be used to find where the pain is coming from, to predict how the pain will respond to long-term treatments, and to prevent pain after certain procedures.
Neurological treatments
Surgery can be done to implant a device that delivers drugs or stimulates the nerves with mild electric current. In rare cases, surgery may be done to destroy a nerve or nerves that are part of the pain pathway.
Physical treatments, such as heat, cold, and exercise, can help relieve pain.
Physical methods to treat weakness, muscle wasting, and muscle and bone pain include the following:
Integrative treatments include massage therapy, acupuncture, and music.
Integrative therapy combines conventional (standard) medical treatment with complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies that have been shown to be safe and to work. CAM therapies treat the mind, body, and spirit.
Massage therapy
Massage therapy has been studied as supportive care in managing pain related to cancer. Massage may help you relax and improve your mood. Studies show that massage therapy may do the following:
Massage has a direct effect on body tissues and should be used with care in patients with cancer. Studies show that massage therapy may be safe in patients with cancer. However, when massage is used in cancer patients, the following precautions should be taken:
(For more information on massage, see Exercise 2 in the following section.)
Acupuncture is an integrative therapy that applies needles, heat, pressure, and other treatments to one or more places on the skin called acupuncture points. Acupuncture may be used to manage pain, including pain related to cancer. See the PDQ summary on Acupuncture for more information.
Music has been used to relieve pain and anxiety caused by cancer and cancer treatments. Studies have reported that music may work on areas of the brain that increase pleasant feelings and decrease unpleasant responses. Your favorite music may help you the most. Music is more helpful if you begin listening before a procedure than it is during or after a procedure. Music may be used along with pain medicine.
There are two main types of music treatments—music therapy and music medicine:
The use of music for pain related to cancer is still being studied.
Music is also used in relaxation exercises.
Some methods help relieve pain by changing how you think about pain and teaching you ways to relax.
Treatments that change how you think about pain and respond to it are also helpful in treating pain. These are called psychological interventions. Psychological interventions give you a sense of control and teach you coping skills to deal with the disease and its symptoms. Staying calm when you feel pain may keep you more comfortable. You may try several methods and choose one or more to use regularly.
The following relaxation exercises may help relieve pain:
Exercise 1. Slow rhythmic breathing for relaxation
Exercise 2. Receiving touch, massage, or warmth for relaxation
Especially for the elderly person, a relaxing back rub may be no more than 3 minutes of slow, rhythmic stroking (about 60 strokes per minute) on both sides of the spine, from the crown of the head to the lower back. Keep one hand on the body at all times by starting one hand down the back as the other hand stops at the lower back and is raised. Set aside a regular time for the massage. This gives the patient something pleasant to look forward to.
Exercise 3. Peaceful past experiences
Exercise 4. Active listening to recorded music
Many patients have found listening to music to be helpful. It tends to be very popular, probably because playing music is a part of daily life and easy to do. If you are very tired, you may simply listen to the music without marking time or focusing on a spot.

Older patients with cancer pain may have special needs.
Some problems are more likely in older patients. For caregivers of older patients, the following possible problems should be kept in mind:
Having more than one chronic disease and source of pain
Older patients may have more than one chronic disease and take several drugs for different conditions. This can increase the risk of drug interactions. Drugs taken together can change how they work in the body and can affect the patient's chronic diseases.
Problems with vision, hearing, movement, or ability to communicate
Older patients may need simpler and more frequent tests to find out how much pain they are having.
Side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Side effects of NSAIDs, such as stomach and kidney damage, memory problems, constipation, and headaches, are more likely in older patients.
Effects of opioids
Older patients may be more sensitive to the effects of opioids. This can give better pain relief that lasts longer. The dose of the opioids may need to be adjusted.
Patient-controlled pain relief
Patient-controlled pain relief must be used carefully in older patients, since drugs are slower to leave the body and older patients are more sensitive to the side effects.
Changes in living arrangements
When older patients move (for example, from hospital to home or nursing home), their needs for pain control may change. These needs should be checked so that pain control methods can be adjusted if needed.

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the causes and treatment of pain. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

text: As the 90's drew to a close, the state of rock music was slipping into a state of decay. It was lazy to conflate all modern rock bands, sentencing them to live under the title 'post-grunge', but there was always a grain of truth to be found in the stereotype. After the grunge movement came and went, the color had been sucked from the palate, and rock music became a bland canvas where every painter assembled their art from the same template.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, June 21, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- News 12 joined the Aiken County Sheriff's Office on a special mission looking for a different type of suspect -- out-of-state plates.
"After you've been here for 45 days, you're required to at least pay the property taxes on your vehicle," said Deputy Brad Terry with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Deputy Terry writes a stack of warnings to people who haven't paid their vehicle property taxes.
"They use these resources, they put their kids in Aiken County schools, and they use Aiken roadways, and it creates a much larger tax burden for those of us who do pay taxes here," he said.
The program started last October. Equipped with an iPad, Terry finds out who has paid and who hasn't. Vehicles that haven't paid get a neon green warning, but there are some exceptions.
"This person's a full-time student at USC Aiken, so they were exempt, and the case has been closed, so they won't be getting anything," he said.
Active military and visitors are exempt, too. But even with the exceptions, Terry stays very busy earning the county extra revenue.
"Last year, the county, in out-of-state vehicle revenue, was up to like $125,000," he said.
That means he paid back the county the amount of his salary a few times and the price tag of his vehicle, too. The program has been so successful Aiken County Council recently approved a new tag officer to help Terry tackle a massive workload.
Terry says most people pay without a problem. He says they just didn't know they had to.
Of course, Terry's job isn't an easy one. He writes so many warnings a day, and in addition, has to follow up on old ones.
Ultimately, he says the program has some other benefits, too. With him and other deputies riding around apartment complexes, particularly at night, it really discourages break-ins and burglaries. He says the impact really can't be quantified.

SANTA CLARA -- They flocked to the Santa Clara Convention Center with all manner of relics and the hope of discovering that their heretofore unseen treasures hold a lot more than personal value.
Trucking dollies loaded with old furniture, lugging paintings -- and even shouldering musty rifles -- thousands of Bay Area residents braved long lines and expert scrutiny Saturday to be part of the venerated PBS staple "Antiques Roadshow," which made Santa Clara the second stop in an eight-city summer tour across the United States. It was the program's first time in the Bay Area since a visit to San Jose in 2009.
Emile was among those who got good news as one of the rare entrants chosen for a taped segment, for his framed 1920s-era caricature map of San Francisco. It was distinguished by the absence of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges and the depiction of a defunct trolley line that went to the Sutro Baths, as well as four cemeteries in the middle of the city.
After buying it from a personal owner for $140, he learned from Christopher Lane, appraiser for the Denver-based Philadelphia Print Shop West, that recent trends have made it worth 10 times that.
"I liked it a lot before, and I like it a whole lot more now," Emile said.
Like all participants whose possessions were examined by the program's nationally renowned assembly of appraisers, Emile was barred from publicly revealing his last name and hometown -- which producers said was for security purposes. Emile did say he was a fourth-generation resident of a city whose cartography had just earned a good deal more significance for him.
Lane said the maps were practically throwaways during the era when they were printed, but within the past five years have become a cultural darling.
"Five to 10 years ago, these were worth nothing, and now they're the hottest thing," Lane said. "People started paying attention to them and how wonderful they are. And they've gotten quite scarce since people would just tack them to a wall."
The maps that did survive their intended expendability are getting swallowed up by museums and personal collections, making a find like Emile's pristine, framed incarnation the kind of rarity "Antiques Roadshow" has in mind.
"This (map) might come up two or three times over the next decade," Lane said.
Emile doesn't plan to cash in on his new, albeit modest, windfall. He says it will stay in his home's front hallway.
"I'd miss it," he said. "I find something new in it every day."
Most people whose item gets a glowing appraisal on the show make the same decision, longtime Executive Producer Marsha Bemko said.
"No matter what the worth, they don't sell it," she said.
Myriad reasons can be behind the choice, she said. The item could be a family heirloom. Or owners might fear that it will appreciate steadily after selling it, making it difficult or impossible to buy back if they change their minds.
But in most instances, an item its owner hopes will be a cash bonanza turns out to be worth little. Bemko said items presented tend to be more common than their owners think and valued at $500 or less in the vast majority of cases.
Even when the monetary value is unspectacular, entrants can discover a whole new kind of worth in the process. In presenting an old set of pens made from bakelite, an early plastic, Kim learned her great grandfather was a recognized San Francisco artist at the turn of the 20th century.
"I just found this out today," said Kim, a Bay Area resident of contractually undisclosed origin. "I thought it was way cool. I knew he was an artist, but not this."
On top of that discovery, an appraisal for a separate set of pins and ribbons affirmed that her grandmother was a World War II-era ship machinist whose work was embodied by the famed "Rosie the Riveter" icon.
More than 6,000 people were expected to come through the appraisal lines for the "Antiques Roadshow" visit, stemming from 3,000 allotted entrants -- each was allowed a guest -- randomly selected from a pool of nearly 23,000 applicants. Producers said Saturday's event will yield three episodes that will air in January.

Kansas weather is constantly changing and Storm Team 12 Meteorologist Mark makes it his job to keep you one step ahead of what's coming your way. "Every day it's a new challenge; winter time, where's the rain-snow line going to be and will we need to shovel or sweep the snow? In the spring and summer, where will the severe weather be and what are the threats to our viewers? It keeps me busy… I love it", says Larson.
He's been the morning Meteorologist for KWCH, and now the KSCW, for over fifteen years and loves waking up with his viewers preparing them for their day.
After Eyewitness News This Morning you'll often find Mark at one of our area schools talking to students about Atmospheric Science and severe weather safety. "I try to make my classroom weather discussions age appropriate. I take complicated concepts and make them understandable all in a fun and entertaining way", he says. "I have a passion for sharing what I know with kids. Weather's all around us, it affects us everyday and I think most of us have a natural curiosity about how it all works and why".
Larson caught the weather bug as a ten-year old flying in a small plane with his pilot – father during a springtime trip from Chicago to Minneapolis. "We ended up pretty close to some colossal thunderstorms. I got an eye-full, an up-close and personal view of a few monsters. We landed safe and sound after a bumpy ride but that was it for me I knew I wanted to be a Weatherman. I just couldn't wait to learn and understand what made those storms so powerful and dangerous yet so awesome to watch grow and move".
Mark is a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle. After College, Larson's first TV job was in Fargo North Dakota, not far from where he grew up in Bloomington Minnesota, just south of Minneapolis. "I am still a die-hard Minnesota Vikings and Twins fan to this day" says Larson. He enjoys golf, running biking, tennis, and reading and is often just as busy outside of work as he is in the weather office.
Larson says he's been married to his best friend for nearly 30 years. Their three children ranging in age from a college graduate to high school to their youngest in elementary school keep them hopping too!

Tuesday, Jan. 2016
THOMPSON, Ga. -- A judge up holds the conviction of James McGuyton, who was arrested and found guilty in the death of McDuffie County man.
McGuyton was found guilty of murdering Kenneth Seek, Jr. in 2012. Seek's body was found in a wood area near Marshall Church Road in November.
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Nov. 23, 2012
THOMPSON, Ga. -- In a small town, everyone knows everyone and word travels fast. When something like a shooting happens, everyone's affected.
"It's a small place. You don't expect it to hit here, and it does add a little bit of reality that things aren't always what they seem," said friend of the victim Maria Cavnor.
Cavnor lives just a few roads over from where investigators say 33-year-old Kenneth Seek Jr. was shot and killed on Thanksgiving Day.
She says she's known Seek for years, and now that he's gone, the community just won't be the same.
"This small community is used to him test driving his cars and just being Kenny," Cavnor said.
Cavnor is deaf, but she says she always knew when Seek was around.
"I feel vibrations since I don't hear things, and I would feel something, and my husband would say, 'Oh don't worry, that's just Kenny,'" Cavnor said.
Seek's body was found in the woods near Marshall Church Road.
Officials say 45-year-old James Ethiredge McGuyton Jr. killed him. He's in jail, charged with murder.
Don Brown lives right down the road from where Seek's body was found. He thinks he saw the shooter earlier in the day.
"Yesterday as I was going down to get some ice for our Thanksgiving dinner, I passed a man walking down the road with a big stick that I thought was maybe looking for cans or something. I was gone about 10 minutes, came back by, and the police and all had the road blocked and had him in possession," Brown said.
Neighbors say the road was blocked off for about five hours yesterday while cop cars and helicopters flooded the area.
Both the GBI and the McDuffie County Sheriff's Office were out combing through the woods.
For those that knew Seek, the reality of what happened is just starting to set in.
"He was very outgoing, he loved cars, he loved to work on cars, and he loved to drive really fast. Seems strange saying past tense," Cavnor said sadly.
McGuyton is in jail, but the investigation is still going on, so details are limited at this time.
The Sheriff's Office says they should know more in the next couple days.

|Rathmann at Indy in 1961.
(Courtesy IndyCar Media)
-With Takuma Sato looking like at least a decent possibility for a seat at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing next year, I put up a poll over at Trackforum asking which driver out of the current names being circulated they'd like to see in a second RLLR seat. The responses were all over the place, with Paul Tracy, Buddy Rice, Bertrand Baguette, and Pippa Mann the top vote-getters. It doesn't prove a thing, except to illustrate that seat has become one of the more intriguing ones of this silly season, perhaps only behind Andretti's GoDaddy Car and the second seat at KV in terms of intrigue.

If you're deranged dedicated enough to be out shopping in the midst of the pandemonium, don't forget Brickyard Authentics will be having special sales now through November 28, perfect for that loved one or favorite blogger on your list.

CORPUS CHRISTI – For the third straight year, the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open will feature an all-Islanders men's singles final. Sophomore Ricardo Mayagoitia and freshman Kevin Bettendroffer will face each other at 3 p.m. at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center in the finals of the singles draw. The women's doubles draw will also feature an all-Islanders matchup with the duo of Stefania Nicolae and Maider Martin set to take on Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan at 3 p.m.
"A lot of gutsy efforts out of our players today," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "I thought that Kevin Bettendroffer and Paul Cook showed great maturity and mental toughness today. I like the way our team managed their bodies and made good choices through two very long days. It takes a lot of discipline to stay ready, hydrated and loose when you arrive at 7:30 a.m. in the morning and don't leave until 8:30 p.m. two days in a row. That's how you build mental toughness in players. If it was easy there would be a lot more tougher players out there.
"I can't thank Marco and Cathy Mattolini enough for bringing every player, coach and staff in this tournament breakfast, lunch and dinner today. I also want to give a heartfelt thanks to Gerald Tjon-a-joe and HEB Tennis Center for allowing us to use their facility on back-to-back rain days. This is a very prestigious event for our university and we would have been rained out if it weren't for the Corpus Christi Athletic Club and the HEB Tennis Center."
After another day of inclement weather the Islanders had another impressive day at the HEB Tennis Center. In the men's draw, freshman Paul Cook powered his way to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over senior Matt Westmoreland to advance to the semifinals. After dropping the first 6-2, Cook bounced back to win the second set 6-4. In the super tiebreaker, the freshman fell behind 6-2 and rallied back to win 11-9.
Bettendroffer also secured his quarterfinals match with a 6-4,6-4 victory over Jair Assuncao of UIW and faced Cook in the semifinals. The two freshmen battled it out in the semifinals with long rallies until Bettendroffer sealed a 6-4, 6-4 win.
The other Islanders' quarterfinal match featured Mayagoitia and Pietro Jordao. Mayagoitia captured a 6-1, 6-1 victory and followed it with a 6-1, 6-4 semifinals win over Josip Smoljan of UIW. The sophomore will take on Bettendroffer in the singles final at 3 p.m. It will mark the third time the Islanders will crown a men's single champion. Last season, Peter Nagy topped Westmoreland in the finals and prior to that Aurelien Tave beat out Westmoreland for the title.
Sophomore Javier Pujol won all three of his consolation singles matches to advance to the finals of the consolation draw tomorrow. In his first match of the day, he squeezed out a 7-6 (0), 3-1 victory over Mauricio Fosado of UTPA, who retired due to an injury. In the quarterfinals, Pujol won in straight sets, 6-0, 6-3 over Boburjon Kamijanov of UTSA and followed it with a 5-7, 6-2 (6) clinching victory over Leonard Ivic in the semifinals to move on to the consolation finals at 10 a.m. He will face Sebastien Job of UTPA.
The doubles finals will feature the pair of Bettendroffer and Guillaume Rauseo against Harley Pearson and Kamijanov of UTSA at 10 a.m. The freshman-sophomore duo notched an 8-5 victory over Ricardo Hopker and Chetan Panditi of UTPA in the semifinals to advance. Pearson and Kamijanov topped Islanders duo Westmoreland and Cook this morning 8-2.
The women's doubles draw will feature an all-Islanders matchup after the pair of Nicolae and Martin and the duo of Burges and Horan clinched their semifinal matches. Nicolae and Martin pulled out an 8-7 (3) quarterfinals win over Florence Boinon and Sasha Khadzhyan of St. Edwards. The Islanders pair then clinched an 8-7 (3) win over Rocio Fernandez and Tina Rupert of Houston in the semifinals to advance. Saturday's matches ended with the duo of Burges and Horan sealing an 8-4 victory over Phillips and Sanders of Houston in the semifinals to advance. Prior to that, the Islanders pair secured an 8-3 quarterfinals win over the Islanders duo of Celia Rodriguez andAshley Garza. Nicolae and Martin and Burges and Horan are set for a 3 p.m. start but the match could be pushed back depending on the women's singles final matchup.
Nicolae and Martin also both advanced to the semifinals of the singles draw and depending on the outcome could face each other in the final round. Nicolae topped Hana Elving of Lamar 6-2, 6-3 and followed it with a 3-6, 6-2 (6) win over Charlotte Phillips of Houston. She will face Fernandez in the semifinal round at 10 a.m. Also advancing to the semifinal round is Martin. The reigning Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open women's singles champion won in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals over UIW's Ivana Catavia. She will face Dariya Dashutina of Lamar in the semifinals at 10 a.m.
