The 5 Most Awesomely Bad Comic Book Movies
#2. The Justice League (1997)
Speaking of movies no one cared about, this Justice League movie cast Charles Emerson Winchester III as the Martian Manhunter. That's like covering the smell of a fart with a skunk who is farting. Did that make sense? It will if you watch this movie. You could arguably spend some time trying to puzzle out whether he or Miguel Ferrer is the bigger star in this movie, and I suspect some of you will even spend time Googling both of these people because you've never heard of either of them and aren't even aware that Charles Emerson Winchester III was not a real person.
X-Men has a quick scene in which Wolverine makes fun of the idea of costumes and cracks a joke about yellow spandex, which is funny because, in the comics, Wolverine wears yellow spandex. Or something. They never really state that it's spandex, and I can't imagine Wolverine is going out and darning spandex for himself, but whatever it is, it's pretty form-fitting. Anyway, the valid point he makes is that, on film, you can't dress a character exactly like his comic book counterpart, otherwise you get that 1970s Spider-Man look, which is essentially a guy in footie pajamas. Or, for a little exotic erotic ball flair, the Justice League. Every hero in this movie looks like a fetish club reject. The Green Lantern may as well be breathing heavily and watching people whip each other. The Flash commands all the respect of an adult baby. Fire looks like a bored housewife who found a way to spice up her relationship with the mailman by pretending to be a fairy princess, and the Martian Manhunter looks like Frankenstein's first draft of the monster he came up with after a night of drinking absinthe and watching Igor shower.

Google me yet? I'm a fuckin' hero!
The thing that puts Justice League above a merely terrible movie -- and let's be honest, this thing sucks like a Dyson -- is its insistence on trying to be cool and funny when it not only doesn't possess those qualities, but wouldn't be able to find those qualities if it mounted a million-dollar expedition into the mountains of CoolFunistan with highly trained Sherpa guides and a legendary map made by Bill Hicks himself.
The movie is constantly broken up by reality TV-esque interview scenes with the heroes as "normal" people, and for some reason they all live in the same Big Brother-style house and have wacky lives outside of their superhero lives because fuck you for wanting to watch this movie. However, appreciating it on that level kind of makes this movie awesome, because it's like no one at all involved in the movie had ever really heard of comic books before and they just decided it'd be cool to try to make this movie, in the same way you think it might be cool to eat a ghost pepper or watch the Octomom porno.
#1. Swamp Thing (1982)
People rag on Swamp Thing as a prime example of piss-poor comic book movies, but they should really go see the far suckier Man-Thing if they're interested in how to make an unfun, stool-laced polyp of a comic book movie that takes place in a swamp. Swamp Thing and, to a degree, it's awesome sequel, The Return of Swamp Thing, were pretty great for terrible movies that clearly no one involved cared about on even the most perfunctory level.
Swamp Thing was awesome for two reasons, only one of which is Adrienne Barbeau. That's a boob joke for you older folks. The other reason was the fact that the movie was mildly popular, but not popular enough. Follow along here, this shit gets deep.
DC Comics started up a new Swamp Thing comic to try to make some money off of the movie release, and it didn't work -- no one bought the thing. Eventually they pawned the title off on Alan Moore, deranged Englishman and creator of V for Vendetta, From Hell, and The Watchmen, to do with as he pleased. Swamp Thing became the first comic to ignore the Comic Code Authority and use ultra-violence and swears and boobies to increase its awesomeness. This is what made Alan Moore famous and allowed those other titles to be written, and that is arguably what allowed Frank Miller to do what he does in comics with things like Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns. The same for all the other Vertigo comic book writers who created actual art: They made real stories that are imaginative and well-written and awesome, and that is what inspired people to start making good comic book movies instead of shitty ones, and that is why we even entertain the idea of comic books being more than goofy stories for kids today. Because Swamp Thing was an OK movie that wasn't good enough to make people want to read his comic.
After writing this, I discovered that I am not the first person to hatch this theory, so kudos to other people out there who actually spend time watching Swamp Thing and pondering its greatness while also enjoying Adrienne Barbeau topless. Boobs!

Technical Notes
The winemaking team at Dalton is lead by winemaker Naama Sorkin, Na'ama grew up in the north of Israel and comes from a family with close links to the wine industry. Na'ama joined Dalton in 2002 after completing her studies at the world famous Roseworthy faculty at the University of Adelaide, and with work experience in California and Australia. Naama is aided by Australian wine consultant John Worontschak. John has worked with the winery since its establishment in 1995 and has offered the winery both technical expertise and an international perspective in winemaking.
The winemaking philosophy is essentially new world fruit driven wines as befits a country with an abundance of sunshine, though lately the winery has been looking to develop some of its premium wines into more classical styles reminiscent of the European wineries.

Spring 2013 Registration Information
The official advising period for all students is listed in the calendar section. All students are encouraged to see their academic advisors and plan their class schedule prior to the opening of registration. Advising times/schedules can be obtained from the student's advisor or academic department.
Students in General and Basic Studies must schedule an appointment to discuss classes, registration, etc. with their advisor. Appointments are scheduled through the Appointment Plus system on the General and Basic Studies website.
Each student is personally responsible for completing all requirements established for his/her degree by the university, college, and department. It is the student's responsibility to be informed of these requirements. A student's advisor may not assume these responsibilities, and the advisor may not substitute, waive, or exempt the student from any established requirement or academic standard. Although it is the student's responsibility to meet graduation requirements, advisors can offer valuable advice to help meet goals.
Alternate (Registration) PINs
Alternate PINs have replaced advisor registration holds. Groups of students who are required to meet with an advisor prior to registration are assigned alternate PINs.
The alternate PIN allows students to access the registration and drop/add services on the web. Students obtain the alternate PIN from their advisor or academic department prior to attempting to register. Once a student logs in with his/her Banner ID and PIN and selects the Registration and Drop/Add Classes option, he/she is required to enter the alternate PIN before the system will allow registration functions.
The alternate PIN is a randomly generated, six-digit number that is unique to the student. Additionally, the alternate PIN is term specific. For example, a student's alternate PIN for summer will be different from the alternate PIN for fall.
The following groups of students must see their faculty advisor to obtain an alternate PIN:
- All undergraduate students (except ADN Nursing) who have earned 59 hours or less;
- All ADN Nursing students who have earned 25 hours or less;
- All student-athletes,
- All Honors College students
All students should check with their faculty advisor to determine if an alternative PIN is required.
Registration Holds
Students who owe a debt to the university are blocked from scheduling classes and must contact the Cashier's Office in person in Smith Hall or by phone at 475-5107.
Students may have registration holds placed by other university offices and must contact the office in question to have it removed. Only the office placing a hold may remove it. The Office of the Registrar does not have the ability to remove a registrati on hold placed by another office.
Planning a Class Schedule
To effectively plan a class schedule, students should consult with their advisor and refer to the online class schedule and the McNeese Catalog. Steps should include:
- Organize and plan the class schedule using the registration worksheet and final exam schedule.
- List class choices in order of priority. Also, list alternate classes, as some courses or sections may be closed or cancelled.
- Schedule only classes for which all course requirements are met. If a student schedules a course for which he or she is not eligible, enrollment in that class may be cancelled at any time.
- Schedule only courses that apply to the degree or are desirable for other reasons. If a student is unable to create a complete schedule of appropriate courses, he or she should consult with the faculty advisor or academic department to investigate alternate choices.
Registration Instructions
McNeese logs all registration transactions to trace activity and to obtain information that can be used to improve registration.
After completing the planning steps outlined above, students should go to www.mcneese.edu and click Banner Self-Service. Then they should:

All financial aid and scholarship recipients must return the Financial Aid/Scholarship Authorization form, or their classes may be purged from their schedule. See Fee Payment Section.
Priority Registration Begins October 29
Priority registration will begin at 1 p.m. on Monday, October 29. Students who plan to register during this time should see their advisors during the official advising period, October 15 - October 26. (The advising period for student-athletes is October 16 & 17, 5:30-7:00 p.m.) Students needing permits or overrides with registrations can contact academic departments for assistance.

Regular Registration for All Students Begins November 1
Regular registration for all students is open from 1 p.m. on November 1 to 11:59 p.m. on January 9. (See calendar for details.) On Wednesday, January 9, registration closes at 11:59 p.m. Students who fail to register during regular registration must late register.
Late Registration - January 14
Students who fail to register during regular registration, which ends Jauary 9, may late register online or with their faculty advisor. Late registration begins at 7:45 a.m., Monday, January 14 and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 17. There is a $50 late fee for students enrolling in more than three hours during late registration; however, first-time freshmen are exempt from this fee.
Late registrants must pay fees in Smith Hall by 4:30 p.m., Friday, January 18, or their classes may be purged from their schedules. Bills will not be mailed for courses scheduled during late registration.
Dropping and Adding Courses
Once students have registered, classes can be dropped or added any time the registration system is available. Students are encouraged to drop/add courses as soon as they are aware that changes need to be made.
Any additional fees for classes added during late registration must be paid by 4:30 p.m., Friday, January 18, or the classes added may be purged from the student's schedule. Students will not receive a bill in the mail for classes added during late registration.
Withdrawal from Courses and Resignation from the University
To withdraw from a class after late registration ends, a student must complete a Course Withdrawal Form with his/her advisor and submit the completed form to the Office of the Registrar. The student will then be withdrawn from the course, and a grade of "W" will be assigned. Withdrawal from a course becomes official only after the properly completed Course Withdrawal Form has been received and recorded in the Office of the Registrar. Students must keep a copy of the official form in the case of a discrepancy.
Although "W" grades do not affect a student's grade point average, excessive course withdrawals reflect negatively on the student's record, increase the amount time needed for degree completion, and may result in the loss of scholarships and other types of financial aid. Because of this, the University recommends that a student have no more than 8 course withdrawals in their academic career.
A student who wishes to withdraw from all courses must resign from the University. A student who officially resigns prior to a designated date will receive a grade of "W" in all courses. Resignations must be received in the Office of the Registrar by the designated date published in the University calendar. A resignation form may be completed at the Office of the Registrar. A student who is unable to come to campus may mail or fax a signed letter of resignation to the Office of the Registrar. The letter of resignation must include the student's full printed name, address, student ID number, signature and date. The resignation is effective when the completed form or letter is received in the Office of the Registrar.
The deadline for withdrawing from a course or resigning from the University is approximately 75 percent into the semester or summer session. After this date, a student may not withdraw from a course or resign from the University. In extraordinary cases, a student may appeal to his/her academic dean to withdraw from a course or resign after the published deadline, but before final exams begin. Any approved requests must be submitted by the dean to the Registrar's Office prior to the beginning of the final exams.
|Hours Earned
|Maximum Number of Withdrawals
120 or more
Cancellation of Registration
Students who complete the registration process then decide not to attend McNeese must officially cancel their registration and resign from the university before the end of late registration or tuition and fees will be assessed. To officially resign, a student must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing by mail or fax (337) 562-4234, or in person before the end of late registration. The statement requesting cancellation of registration must include the student's full printed name, address, student ID number, signature and date.
Special Course Information
Auditing Classes
Students have the option of attending a class for non-credit. This is called auditing a class. Students who wish to audit a class must register in the office of the Assistant Registrar. A student may not enroll for audit through Banner Self-Service.
A grade of AU will be assigned for audited courses, and audited courses do not count toward fulfillment of any degree requirements. The deadline for changing from credit to audit or vice-versa is the close of business on the last day of late registration. After that time, a student may not change the status of his or her enrollment. Classes for audit count in total hours to determine fees owed but do not count toward full-time status.
Scheduling Honors Option Courses
Qualified students may request an honors option for most university courses. Honors options require additional work designed to enrich the learning experience. Honors options must be approved by the teacher of the course, the department head in which the course is being offered, and the director of the Honors College.
To qualify for an honors option course, a student must be admitted to the university honors college or have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and permission from the department head offering the course. To register for an honors option, a student must register in the Assistant Registrar's Office.
Students may choose to add or drop an honors option during the regular or late registration periods; however, once late registration ends, students may not add the honors option without the written approval of the Honors College director. If a student wishes to drop an honors option course after late registration ends, he or she must withdraw from the entire course, which will result in a grade of W being assigned.
Maximum Course Loads
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students carrying 12 or more semester hours are considered full-time students during the summer. The maximum number of semester hours an undergraduate student may attempt is 22 hours. In order to schedule more than the maximum load, a student must 1) have a 3.25 grade point average the previous semester or a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and 2) obtain the appropriate form and approvals from his/her academic department.
Graduate Students
Graduate students carrying 9 or more semester hours are considered full-time students during the summer. The maximum number of semester hours a graduate student may attempt is 16 hours. With approval from the student's major professor, department head and the graduate dean, students whose cumulative GPA is 3.6 or better may enroll in 3 additional hours. Refer to the Graduate School's academic standards in the McNeese Catalog for details.
MAAP 200: Midpoint Assessment of Academic Progress
Every undergraduate student enrolled in a four-year degree program must take the Midpoint Assessment of Academic Progress (MAAP) examination. This examination should be taken as soon as possible after earning 48 semester hours and must be taken before earning 80 semester hours. Additional information can be found in the McNeese Catalog.
Students may schedule a MAAP test as they would any other course. There is no charge for registering for this exam and no credit hours will be awarded. All MAAP tests will be in the Parra Ballroom of the Student Union Building. (If a change in location is necessary, signs will be posted.) Students will need #2 pencils, identification, and a calculator (optional). Questions about the MAAP should be directed to the Testing Officer by calling 475-5140 or by visiting the Scholarship and Testing Office in Room 204 in the BBC.
Resolving Time Conflicts
Occasionally a student may wish to take two classes which overlap by a few minutes. If the department head(s) offering such classes are willing to make accommodations, students may enroll in conflicting classes. The student should pick up a Time Conflict Resolution form from his or her faculty advisor, seek written approval from the necessary department head(s), and return the completed form to the Registrar's Office who will then override the time conflict. Conflicting classes may not be scheduled if the overlapping time is greater than five minutes, or if the department head(s) deny the request.

A fashionable someone who is not rich or famous, just an ordinary person who utilizes what they have to create a really whacked out sense of personal style. A street hero is NOT a hipster; they are up with trends, but prefer to set their own. Street heroes are more like modern-day gypsies who equate the balance of the horribly dressed.
Rumi from fashiontoast is my favorite street hero.

One week after two fires exploded to life northwest of Bend and eventually merged to burn nearly 7,000 acres, the Two Bulls Fire was declared fully contained Saturday, officials said.
An Oregon Department of Forestry team transfered command of fire management to a Type 3 team working out of the Sisters unit of the ODF at 4 p.m. Saturday, the time at which the fire was declared 100 percent contained.
Five crews and support totaling 100 personnel remained on the lines Saturday, along with two helicopters, nine engines, two bulldozers and two water tenders.
The transition team will work to extinguish any remaining smokes and recover equipment. The local ODF fire staff will patrol the fire and monitor for smokes frequently throughout fire season. If residents spot smoke, they are advised to call 911.
The Skyliners Road area evacuation alert was lifted Friday. No evacuation levels remain in effect.
Forest Service Roads 4601, 4602, 4603, and 4606 remain closed. The Phil's Trail Mountain bike area is open.
The Two Bulls Fire burned 6,908 acres and its firefighting cost has reached $5.7 million.
For questions or information about the Two Bulls Fire, call (541) 549-2731.
In the final message from Two Bulls Fire officials read: "Thank you Bend area community, the local Joint Information Center (JIC) agencies (the City of Bend Fire Department, City of Bend Communication and Media Department, Deschutes County Sheriff's Office, Deschutes County Public Communications Office, the American Red Cross Oregon Mountain River Chapter, and U.S. Forest Service) for your support, hospitality, and understanding during the #TwoBullsFire. We're hoping not to have any, but if there are future large fires, please monitor the blog for updates.
"To help thank and protect the firefighters, protect your community, and protect your homes, get FireFree. FireFree can help you create a fire-resistant zone around your home!
"Thanks again and have a great summer!"
Early Friday afternoon, the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office lifted the Level 1 pre-evacuation advisory for about 50 homes near Skyliners Road west of Bend where residents were urged to flee last Saturday and were out of the area for two days.
County Emergency Services Manager Sgt. Nathan Garibay noted that are still some U.S. Forest Service Road closures in place, and urged residents to visit the Central Oregon Fire Information blog at http://www.centraloregonfireinfo.blogspot.com for more information on the changes.
Garibay added, "The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the Oregon Department of Forestry, Deschutes National Forest and all of the other agencies involved in the response and management of the Two Bulls Fire."
"We would further like to thank the citizens and visitors of Deschutes County for their overwhelming support and patience throughout this incident," he said.
Here's the Friday morning fire update:
"As firefighters expand the mop-up zone around the fire, the current Incident Management Team prepares to transition command of the Two Bulls Fire back to local control forces.
"This transition time is an organized process to account for equipment, package documentation, and send excess resources home for needed rest and preparation for future events. The "hand-off" to local forces should occur on Saturday.
"Many local residents reported smoke plumes Thursday. Gusty winds created swirls of ash which mimicked smoke columns. Residents can be assured that firefighters are patrolling in these areas and continue mopping up to create a 300-500 foot buffer zone around the fire perimeter.
"State Forester Doug Decker and Fire Protection Division Chief Nancy Hirsch visited firefighters at camp Friday. They also made a visit to the Joint Information Center which coordinated fire information among all involved agencies and kept the local community informed.
Decker commented, "I was pleased to see and impressed by the immediate and direct action on the fire, both during initial attack and in the days that followed. "
"Those combined efforts, in the face of some very challenging fuels and burning conditions, stopped the fire. I was also struck by the amazing outpouring of community support. It really made a difference for the team and was an expression of the high level of cooperation that has occurred throughout this incident."
As evacuation alerts are reduced or end, the U.S. Forest Service has reopened much of the closed area in the woods west of Bend -- including most of the popular Phil's Trail mountain biking area.
The "current fire information" on the Thursday morning update from the Central Oregon Fire Information Center painted a picture of how things looked, starting the sixth day of the battle:
"More than 630 firefighters rolled out of the Two Bulls Fire Camp this morning, rumbling to their fireline assignments in crew-carrying vans, pickup trucks, fire engines and water tenders.
"The men and women assigned to fight the fire had gotten out of their tents at 4:30 a.m., breakfasted on chorizo sausage, fried potatoes, beans, tortillas and salsa, swallowed countless gallons of coffee, juice and milk, and reported to morning briefing at 5:30.
"At the briefing, the firefighters crowded around a small stage where a large map of the fire was stapled to a sheet of plywood, and heard the day shift operations chief outline their work objectives.
"Most of the firefighters would be spending their day on the Two Bulls Fire's west and southwest flanks. Their mission was to extinguish every lick of flame, every smoke within 300 feet of the fireline – and then go farther.
"The mission to steadily increase the dead-out ring of black around the fire decreases the chance that the fire could escape, should some places inside the heart of the Two Bulls Fire rekindle during the afternoon when strong winds (gusts to 25 mph) are expected.
Earlier report:
Operations Section Chief Joe Hessel said Wednesday's day-shift crews were "whole-hog into mop-up," the tedious process of completely extinguishing the fire, now extending 300 feet and farther in from the east flank fire line, 150 to 300 feet on the west and south sides, and 100-200 feet inside the north line.
Hoses now encircle the blaze – which began as two fires Saturday afternoon, now deemed "suspicious" – and were being used by the more than 160 night-crew firefighters as they keep putting out every flaming log or smoking stump.
More than 230 firefighters were released from the fire Wednesday, and more overnight, leaving 638 personnel Thursday using three helicopters, 46 inches, 11 bulldozers and 15 water tenders.
In less than a week, the estimated suppression cost has climbed to about $4.3 million.
While the reward fund money flowed in for whoever provides information to solve the possible arson, totaling $26,500 by late Wednesday, the widening fire lines have allowed for dropping evacuation alert levels, to Level 1 starting Thursday for previously evacuated Skyliners Road homes west of Bend, and no more Level 1 (or any) alerts for close to 2,000 homes on Bend's Westside.

West Virginia has extensive sets of regulations for gas and oil wells, including even rules for access roads to them. But the pipelines carrying gas away from wells are a different story.
As a story in the News-Register of Wheeling noted, the state seems to have few rules on mapping the locations of some pipelines.
The federal government has requirements on interstate pipelines and both states have some oversight on environmental matters regarding where lines can be placed. But it appears state rules are far less comprehensive than those regarding wells.
One concern is the lack of requirements for maps showing smaller lines, such as those used to gather gas from individual wells. "It's not like inspectors are out there tagging these lines. Companies are just building them," explained Tim Greene of Land and Mineral Management of Appalachia. Greene, formerly a West Virginia oil and gas inspector, added, "I seriously doubt that, 10 years from now, anyone with the state will know where these pipelines are."
It is in the gas companies' interests to have that information, of course. But in case of an emergency - such as a pipeline break that causes an explosion and/or fire - it will be vital for state and local officials to know, too. Minutes or hours wasted in contacting a gas company to obtain information about a pipeline can result in unnecessary property damage - perhaps injuries or even deaths.
State officials have worked hard during the past few years to write and implement extensive rules for the gas and oil industries. It is doubtful any of them want to revisit the controversy that accompanied that process.
But rules for pipelines are important, too. Requirements should be put in place to ensure maps are provided.

There was earlier talk of ousting Gov. Tom Corbett from office. Well, let's do it! He has no feelings for the people here in the U.S.
On the news, it was said he wants to sell the Pennsylvania Lottery to the British for billions of dollars. Why? I am one of the elderly, and the lottery pays from many of the senior programs we need. We depend on the senior centers and all they do for us with the van services and so many other programs. I can see why Corbett's popularity rate is low.
I've never seen a country run as poorly as ours - where there's no concern for the people. If we keep selling all we have, what will we have?
If they would use the money to help save Social Security and Medicare, then I could understand. If they're selling the Pennsylvania Lottery just to load their own pockets, again, I think it's shameful that we have a government that is so full of greed.
I'm tired of hearing about all their pay increases when they can only give those on Social Security a small allowance.
Let's fight to get rid of Corbett. He is not doing good for us. He just wants to keep taking more away, and he will continue to do so if we let him!
Connie Grenz, Altoona
Editor's note: The Corbett administration is considering a proposal from a British company to take over management of the state lottery for 20 years. Pennsylvania would continue to own the lottery. Corbett believes private management could be a way for the lottery to generate more revenue to support programs for seniors.

The residue from last night's 14-inning loss:
- The Cubs need to win today to take the series and finish with a .500 road trip
- After pitching 8 innings last night, the bullpen is all beat to hell, with a Memorial Day home game on tap tomorrow
- The Wood-to-setup-man and Marmol-to-closer discussion can begin anew
- Alfonso Soriano got to play a 4-hour and 21-minute game on that calf muscle which isn't "injured" but sure looks like it when Soriano runs
- Any Cub fan who stayed up until the bitter end will be haunted the sight of Henry Blanco playing first base
Regarding today's lineup, Soto, who caught all 14 innings Saturday night, gets the day off, with Johnson moving all the way up to fifth in the order and Henry Blanco filling the 8th spot.
Rich Hill appeared on WSCR Radio Sunday morning after throwing a simulated game in Iowa. He attributed his recent back troubles to "an overdeveloped muscle," the result of years and years of pitching, and he said the back pain which caused him to leave his last start for the I-Cubs had been troubling him, to a lesser degree, going back to Spring Training.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Reed Johnson in the 5 hole...label me confused although it could be worse if he put Blanco there.
Sure seemed like it would have made more sense to put Sori in the 5 hole with Johnson leadoff but hey, Sori's leg isn't hurt and he's comfy leading off with a limp.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Here are the Top 10 best offensive numbers for Cubs minor league position players over their last ten games played:
1. Josh Lansford, 3B (Daytona) - 412/444/529
2. Darwin Barney, SS (Daytona) - 361/410/527
3. Eric Patterson, 2B (Iowa) - 390/432/488
4. Dylan Johnston, RF (Peoria) - 297/350/541
5. Jovan Rosa, 3B (Peoria) - 361/439/444
6. Matt Murton, LF (Iowa) - 333/378/500
7. Luis Bautista, 1B (Peoria) - 324/362/471
8. Marquez Smith, 2B (Peoria) - 281/413/406
9. Matt Craig, 1B (Tennessee) - 323/488/323
10. Nate Spears, 2B (Tennessee) - 273/333/424
IOWA: With Matt Murton and Eric Patterson on fire at Iowa, the Cubs finally might be able to get a deal done for Murton (who is finally starting to generate XBHs), and they might take the opportunity to trade E-Patt, too.
TENNESSEE: After not doing much over the two years since he was acquired from the Orioles in the Corey Patterson deal, Nate Spears is finally starting to develop into a decent (albeit not exceptional) 2B prospect at AA.
DAYTONA: With 3B Kyle Reynolds and SS Joe Simokaitis mired in season-long slumps at AA Tennessee, Josh Lansford and Darwin Barney could get promoted from Daytona to Tennessee sooner rather than later.
PEORIA: Dylan Johnston is finally starting to realize his offensive potential after moving from SS to LF at Minor League Camp (and to RF after Kyler Burke got demoted to EXST), and Jovan Rosa has been hitting all year (he's tied for the MWL lead in doubles) and now it looks like he's starting to play a lot more 3B (his best position), Look for either Rosa or Marquez Smith (who's best position is also 3B) to get promoted to Daytona if Lansford moves up to Tennessee.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Rob - In Internet Explorer lately the blog entries are not staying inside the borders. Like the "Soriano gets a leg up" entry it just keeps going off to the right side.
The entries are fine if you press comment and it looks fine in FireFox, so I don't know. Something to look into.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
yeah, noticed the same thing. Not positive, but it started happening for me around the time that the long line of mugshots was put up.

fixed....it was the long line of player photos causing the problem. IE couldn't seem to handle wrapping them like Firefox.
Should be fixed.
Re: Samardzija to Tenn bullpen
After 3 horrific starts, Samardzija started the 8th inning in relief last night, got one fly-out and pulled after allowing 2 hits (no HR's or walks) ... was bailed out by other relievers. With the 3-2 win over Mississippi, Tenn on a rare 2 game win streak.
Colvin 0-4, now hitting .232 on the season
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
ERIC S: Jeff Samardzija has yet to develop any effective secondary pitches to complement his power sinker. If he threw only the two-seamer, he'd get better results in AA, but he'd also never learn the additional pitches he will need to have if he is to be an MLB rotation starter.
He'd be turning his back on some big bucks if he did it, but he really might want to start thinking about a career pro football.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)

Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)

Well, that sucked ass.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
That sucked the butter right out of my ass.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
And to make it worse the Pirates act like they have won the World Series after they win...
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Did you see their act yesterday? They went nuts for a walk off 'sac fly'. I say sac fly because if they were playing at normal depth it was going to be a sac fly to win the game.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Part of me says that might foster bad blood. Somebody like Bay might get some chin music the next time they play.
The other part of me says if you don't want to see them celebrating an everyday win like the Mickey Mouse organization that they are, finish the fucking deal. Don't lose to a bunch of scrubs.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Man, kicked two games away that were pretty much in the "W" column. Should be an interesting plane ride back to town - wonder what Lou said in the clubhouse after the game.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
I'm not usually a huge Soriano critic, as I am aware that when he is hot he can carry an offense and when he is cold he can be a non-factor, but he really hurt the Cubs in those two losses. Going 0 for his first 6 ABs last night was terrible, and then when he finally got on base in extra innings he got picked off of second. Today he fails to catch that "homerun" that I think Matt Murton and certainly Reed Johnson or Jim Edmonds would have caught, then he drops the ball to give up the tie that I'm sure Matt Murton would've caught, and probably Cliff Floyd. Maybe even Daryle Ward, since he likely could've gotten to it in time. I realize that he is going to be hot and cold at the plate, but he needs to be consistent on the bases and in the field, places where one is expected to be disciplined and consistent, not hit-or-miss streaky. The homerun today was nice, but he more than made up for it with his terrible defense. He was better than this last year, and I honestly thought he was getting better. Apparently I was mistaken.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Also, just to finish of the cranky-jerkness that is me today, having two chances in one inning to throw LaRoche out and failing to do so is poor. Theriot should have had him at second but received the throw on the wrong side of the bag. The play at home is more excusable and not really caused by any mistake, but that run should also have been erased. The Cubs should've won this one 5-2 by my count.
Re: CIN/SD
and its over in the 18th...3 run homer bottom 18th, 9-12 final.
Re: CIN/SD
You forgot to mention who hit it. Adrian Friggin' Gonzalez, MEXICAN POWER!
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Orioles RHP Steve Trachsel, who allowed nine runs over 1 2/3 innings in Saturday night's loss to the Rays, thought he might have been tipping off his pitches. Trembley doesn't think that was the case. "it was a bad case of being fucking useless," Trembley said. *
Wow, ol' Steve might be nearing the end of his career.
* I edited the quote for added drama.
Iowa Cubs
Was at I-Cubs 9-2 win this afternoon against Oklahoma Redhawks (Rangers). Felix Pie looked totally lost at the plate. His AAA batting average going into the game was .086 and he went 0/5 with a K. Only once did he put the ball into play with any authority. Two ABs in a row he flied out and Eric Patterson was doubled off first. Murton had two groundouts and two walks.
Koyie Hill was the star with a no doubt HR and 4 RBIs.
Today's Essay Assignment
Shaq at the foul line in the final seconds of a close game vs. Soriano trying to catch a fly ball in the 9th inning with the Cubs leading. Discuss.
I'm a big Lou fan, but leaving a gimpy-legged, lethally-bad outfielder in the game with a one-run lead in the 9th is simply ridiculous. If you can double-switch Blanco in for Lee (or take Shaq out of a close game...), you can pull Soriano for defense. Other than Soriano (who has missed several catches), I don't remember anyone else whiffing on fly balls. Enough with the kid gloves for him -- sit him in the 9th with a lead until he proves he can catch the damn thing.
Rough couple of days for Lou -- the Blanco switch backfired (although Theriot's throw was inexcusably bad) and leaving Soriano in cost them another game.
Also -- what is the record for HBP by a releiver? Kerry is on track for 15 HBP. Remarkable.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
That is one lousy was for Marmol to get a blown save.
The Pirates gave us a couple of games early in the year -- after the last 2 games, I would say we are even.
What CF can we get at the deadline?
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Even worse than I thought for Marmol -- the boxscore is calling Soriano's drop a "hit", and thus the run is earned.
The ball hit his glove, for cryin' out loud.
These losses could be a good thing if Lou learns from it
Soriano should never be out there in a save sitution in the 9th. Johnson, Edmonds, and Fukudome are 10x the OF he is. Also he needs to stop mangaging his bench like Dusty using his bench guys like their tap water and will never run out. Honestly if wants to manage the Muts I would let him go.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
1. soriano now leads the majors in blown saves by left fielders. will be interesting to see what sort of reception he gets today from the bleacher crowd: adoration for the screaming hot soriano who left town last sunday, or derision for the return of the cooled-down version.
2. some how these last 2 days appear to me to be the baseball gods getting even with the cubs (and the pirates) for the extra inning games from the cubs earlier trip to pittsburgh. with out dredging up old box scores, i have the general impression that the cubs escaped with a sweep thanks to some very good extra inning fortune in april. i could easily be wrong.
3. ryan dempster's mandate will surely be to pitch 7 or 8 innings today. here's hoping ! and that ascanio gets a chance in the near future to recapture the win that got messed up on sunday.
4. have the overlords of t/c/r generated a pool on how soon jim "warning track power" edmonds is sent packing? my virtual five bucks says saturday june 14.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Remember-- the Cubs signed Fonzie to play play CF.
Oh, brother.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
I wonder if they consider playing Hoffpauir in LF and DH Soriano with the upcoming interleague road games in Toronto and Tampa mid June...I doubt it but it would be interesting.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
Probably not, but they might consider playing both Johnson and Edmonds and DHing Soriano.
Re: Game 50 Thread / Cubs @ Pirates (3 of 3)
He keeps this up, I think we should move him to DH for the rest of the year.
Recent comments
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Marceil Freda (Walker) Wiseley
Dec. 10, 1923-Jan. 7, 2013
Age: 89
Residence: Missoula, Mont.
Marceil Freda (Walker) Wiseley passed away Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, after living a full and rewarding life of 89 years. She was born Dec. 10, 1923, the daughter of Sara McLean Walker and Frederick Angus Walker, pioneering residents of the small town of Pierce, Colo.
After schooling there and briefly attending Colorado State A&M in Fort Collins, she went to the Colorado Training School for Nurses, graduating near the end of World War II. There she met her future husband, Allen N. Wiseley, an intern at Denver General Hospital. They married in 1945, began a family and after moving through various Army Medical Corps posts and finishing Allen's residency at the Cleveland Clinic, settled in Missoula, Mont., in 1950.
Marceil and Allen became ardent Montana outdoor enthusiasts and went out in all seasons in their pursuits. They loved fishing, and by the mid-50s were pulling a camp trailer or boat to any reputed fishing lake within striking distance.
Skiing began even earlier and they later became snowmobilers. She took up golf, hiking and swimming, and urged her kids to participate in various team sports.
After the nest was empty, she and Allen turned to square dancing, rock hounding and lapidary work; joined United Methodist church groups and Senior Citizens. Marceil enjoyed cross-stitch, knitting, rug hooking, and doll collecting and constructing. Both she and Allen loved international travel and hosting in Friendship Force, and Elderhostel.
In recent years, they became snowbirds, enjoying the Arizona climate and friends they could join there.
After Dad died in 2003, Mom took up residence in the Village Senior Residence and found many new and old friends she enjoyed living near and was thankful for all opportunities her life had afforded her.
They raised three sons, Allen IV, now of Victoria, British Colombia, Thomas of Yakima, Wash., and Dale, of Missoula. Marceil also had five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Doris Jane Dunbar of Lansdale, Penn., and by Trinh Hoe, a Vietnamese refugee whom the family sponsored in 1975, his wife, Linh Tran and their two sons, Michael and Daniel.

The South Carolina In-Water Boat Show is set for Friday through Sunday at Daniel Island's Waterfront Park.
The existing city of Charleston dock will be complemented by about 1,000 linear feet of portable floating docks and spud barges to accommodate an array of motor and sailing watercraft.
Ticketholders can tour boats and enjoy land-side attractions.
The event includes dozens of boats on land, boat-building displays, presentations, boating and fishing demos, live music, local food and a children's area.
Vapor Apparel's new line, Altered Latitudes, is the official apparel brand of the boat show. It's in 75 retailers from Maine to the Caribbean, including Charleston Angler's four stores.
Tickets to the boat show are available online for $8. They will be $10 at the gate. Children 12 and under enter free, and a discounted ticket is available for students and active military at $5.
It is sponsored by the S.C. Marine Association. For information, go to www.sc inwaterboatshow.com.
Final strokes
After 19 years as the home to local artists, Pink House Art Gallery in one of the oldest buildings in Charleston at 17 Chalmers St. will close.
The circa 1694 building is on the market for residential use, and the tenants have been told to vacate so the Realtor can stage the property for better viewing by potential suitors.
The last day the property will be open to the public is April 15.
Springing back
A West Ashley yogurt shop that closed after Thanksgiving for the winter has reopened.
Fro Yo In Paradise at 1710 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in Village Square Shopping Center continues to offer 16 flavors of yogurt with 75 toppings, but it has added sandwiches, paninis, soups and adult and children's combinations.
It's open seven days a week after 11 a.m. with abbreviated hours on Sunday.
Discounts are offered to seniors, students and military personnel.
Pam and Robert Polk are the owners.
Taking applications
The third annual Mount Pleasant Towne Centre Farmers Market begins May 11 and will be open 9 a.m.-1 p.m. each Saturday through Aug. 17 on Theater Drive.

The Altoona Area school board plans to close Wright and Washington-Jefferson elementary schools at the end of this school year.
"We didn't want to do one this year and another one next year," Sharon Bream said. "We wanted to get it all done at the same time."
The board is pursuing the option to close both schools after having deliberated 16 building closing options proposed by architect Vern McKissick, who evaluatied of all of the district's buildings.
Closing the schools is supposed to result in more efficient use of excess building capacity and balance class sizes districtwide.
During a public meeting on Wednesday, attended by about 16 district employees, the board scheduled public hearings on the closing of both schools on March 11 beginning at 5:30 p.m in the Altoona Area Junior High School. Following the March 11 hearings, the board must wait 90 days before voting on the closures.
McKissick said current elementary class size will be maintained and, in fact, improved districtwide if the schools are closed. His target size is to have 26 students in a class, and up to 30 students in intermediate grade classes. Currently, there are classes greater than 30, he said.
Overall, the district would save more than $1 million annually on utility and personnel costs, he said.
The closings will mean up to 10 teachers from any of the district's schools could lose their jobs, he said. In addition, he said about eight secretarial, custodial and other noninstructional positions could be cut.
While many questions need to be answered, board members and school administrators said they believe the change is in the best interests of students and the district.
All schools will be affected positively in the long-run because of the closings and consequent realignment of school attendance areas, Rich Adams, Juniata Gap Elementary School principal, said.
"Essentially, it will stabilize class sizes," said Adams, whose student population will decrease with the change. "I think we will be able to better provide education for students."
McKissick could not say how many students might be reassigned to a different school as part of a realignment of attendance areas.
Students from Wright will attend Juniata Gap and Ebner elementary schools. Some Juniata Gap students who live near Irving School will be reassigned to Juniata Elementary, some students who attend Baker Elementary and live in Lakemont will go to Pleasant Valley Elementary and students who attend Washington-Jefferson will transfer to Logan and Penn Lincoln Elementary schools, McKissick said.
Wright Elementary School Principal Jill Daloisio is concerned for her staff's jobs.
"I want to know how seniority will come into play," she said. She also has concerns about breaking up the close-knit staff at Wright.
"They will be dispersed. I am concerned for them," she said.
Acting Superintendent Mary Lou Ray said there is a "slew of work to be done" prior to the March 11 hearings, including redefining attendance areas and transportation.
"You can't deny it will save district costs, especially in the long run," Ray said. "And as an educator, I'm hoping it will spark and cultivate and create new friendships. Change can be stimulating."

Watchdog I don't necessarily like Cyndi because she is a sweet person Actually I don't know her and never met her in my life. But I do like her ideas she has posted on here and her voting record, she seems to have her head on straight. I guess I just didn't understand what you were trying to get across concerning Cyndi. I took it totally the wrong way from what you apparently intended.

Well alright, tell me how I function in life. Tell everyone. You seem to have a file on me, so why not open it up? I have nothing to hide and the scariest part about that to you is that I'm not scared of anything you can say about me. I do have crane rentals to worry about, in fact, I likely just locked down a rental at the new hospital building for a discounted price. If you'd like to continue talking about my productivity I'd welcome it. If you're attempting to mock my business then I'd welcome that to, that's only going to serve to destroy Watchdog's reputation further--though I'm certain you aren't incredibly worried about that since you aren't willing to but your real reputation on the line behind your words. Watchdog the scaredy-cat, how ironic.

Oh and concerned. She is still a politician and elected official. She is fair game. Your comment surprised me. I know you like her. Who doesn't. She is a sweet women...too sweet.

OMG concerned, quite the contrary, I'm not attacking her, she happens to be one of the two on council with that entire bunch that even gives me a glimmer of hope for progress in this city. Go read my other comments she is noted in on other news articles. She has a voice. She is on the same page with the entire city. I want her to dig her heels in deep. All you have to do is watch the city council meetings and you can see who is controlling the majority. Like she said on another article...she faces opposition on COUNCIL. She needs the public to support and strengthen her. She can't do it alone. She is about the only one that makes it about the people. We lose her it's over. I light the spark under her because I want to see her fighting mad. Salem needs her. Like I said, concerned this is not a popularity contest. If she was upset from what I threw at her...then she's not the City council woman I believe she is.
So I was harsh. She will live from it.

I mean, forget running for council, you would never even go to a meeting and present an idea for fear of using your own name, prove your credibility and be held accountable would you?
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Guarantee you can't do it. You can't tell us who you are and be held accountable for your words. You're hammering a woman for the money she receives for her public service and telling her to worry about our money, not hers, after she agrees with a move that saves tax payer dollars. Do you understand why that strips you of any credibility? You're a bigger whiner than a fat, spoiled 5 year old who wants an ice cream cone. Seriously, you find a way to complain about anything and rarely can you really articulate a reason past saying "we the taxpayer". I honestly believe that even if they hired more cops youd complain about paying them after screaming about not having enough for years. It's getting old. Step up to the plate, tell us who you are and quit hiding. Be accountable!

Someone talking about credibility while hiding behind a screen name. Why should anyone take you seriously Watchdog? Why a tirade against Cyndi? Remember when you essentially said I wasn't allowed to argue with Patti Hannah because of her supposed credentials? What are your credentials? Why don't you run for council? You're a coward, that's why. You can't even speak for yourself, only or "Watchdog". At least Cyndi is willing to put herself on the line and sit on council. And on top of that, she's going above and beyond by throwing herself into the discussion here...and she could easily do it behind a pseudonym like you do. But here you are, talking about ACCOUNTABILITY.
Just an FYI, I will respond to everything you say from now on that you need to be held accountable for your words and you won't be credible until you speak for yourself and not as "Watchdog". There is no dog in you, you're a scaredy-cat.

This nice club is getting old. So Councilwoman, take from this what you will, laugh if you must…but I can promise you this. I will seize every golden opportunity I can to light spark under a resident or even your butts. You wanted community input to the important matters of this city. I will wake every resident up one way or another. When you are successful…I am successful…this city is successful. Any other goal is just leaving us spinning our wheels.

We need to know where our Council and leaders stand on these issues and the fight or questions that brought you there. Now that you are probably mad.
I don't want your job. I am not going sit and pretend that I could do your job better then you. I am not going to pretend this job is not hard and challenging. I would have no business sitting on council. I could not pull off "politically correct" as many of you do. I would be out the door within weeks. I don't have the patience to pacify the public that storm chambers with their busy body complaints. I despise "popularity contests". The public has a responsibility to attempt to solve their own problems first. Not just dump on council. You are not referees. You are not a complaint department. You are legislatures. The last resort to holding other elected officials accountable.

Cyndi says: "Also I was participating. But it is easy to sit on your log and judge."
My response: Yes it is, because you make it easy. All of you on Council make this very easy. Plus it my responsibility as taxpayer to hold you accountable. You many not like that but that is our democracy. Instead of playing wounded, take off your councilwoman shoes and put on a pair of resident shoes and watch all three videos. YOU may know what those issues, ordinances, numbers consist of but I can promise you 80% of Salem's population doesn't have a clue. They will see those videos just like I did. The public's faith in Government is at an all time low and that is your biggest enemy… not me. Each of you holds the power to change that. The public needs you to start asking the tough questions. You have the voice…USE IT. We don't need these one liners reported from the Salem news.

Well of course you do Cyndi. After viewing the last three city council meeting video's it is MORE than fair taking into consideration you sat there like a bump on a log. In fact, the only issue you completely had interest in was "asking for well wishes and prayers for your Children's marriages".

How effective is this going to be? It looks like a lot of the weekend warrior politicians, particularly township trustees and small town mayors, are still making enough to meet the new standard for getting a full pension. These figures were taken from just one of 88 counties in Ohio. What's the grand total across the state to give out all of these pensions? When your local police and fire departments have patrol officers and firefighters that are working well into their sixties or more, then you will know why.

While he's a great player, can someone please explain to me why we need him of all people? I just don't get it. Veteran leadership? Most of our core team are seasoned veterans!
Datsyuk - 33
Zetterberg - 31
Franzen - 32
Kronwall - 31
Bertuzzi - 37
Sammy - 36
Clearly - 33
Given this, it seems we have plenty of veteran leadership and I just fail to see what Doan could possibly provide except some toughness and some more goals. We should be trying to get younger, trying to get a sniper to play wing with Pav. Another 35+ player on a team of aging veterans? I just don't get it.....

Perfect for immediately postpartum Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
Yes they are horrific looking and ugly. But I'd never go without them. Immediately postpartum, when bleeding is heavy, these are perfect to hold a giant maxi pad or folded up blue underpad. If you need an icepack, these stretch enough to fit. You will likely only use these for a few days at most, but you will be glad to have them for comfort, and even more glad that you can just toss them away when you are done! I've used these after all 5 of my births and a 4-pack is perfect. (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Not my thing Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
While immediately postpartum these were helpful for heavy bleeding, they were not for me and I couldn't wait to get them off. I found them uncomfortable (too high in the rise and gathered in the thigh) and found a larger sized panty than I normally wear worked better for me. Having the disposable feature wasn't a draw for me. (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.

Couple hit by car on Emerald Bay Road
Ryan Summerlin October 4, 2013
Two people were injured when they were hit by a car Friday morning on Emerald Bay Road, South Lake Tahoe police reported.
SLTPD Lt. Brian Williams said the victims were walking across U.S. Highway 89 when they were hit by a motorist who reportedly did not see them. Williams said alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.
"The driver stopped immediately and got out," Williams said.
The woman was treated for her injuries at Barton Medical Center, while her partner was flown by helicopter to Reno. The male victim was in critical condition Friday morning, but no updates were available by press time.

One such person, who prefers to remain nameless, wrote to The Freeport News with an account of the events regarding the arrest of the young British woman for not having the proper paperwork for offering her voluntary services.
"As many of us expats do, since we do not have the right to work — whether we are retired, winter residents or are married to some legally employed husbands with the proper work permits — we throw ourselves into volunteer work in one or many of the charitable organizations on the island," her letter states.
"This young woman, who has been giving her time freely to help at The Crisis Centre, the library, and was now helping in a kindergarden for free, was arrested by the Immigration people and has spent the night in jail."
She was told that to be allowed to do any volunteer work, one has to have a letter from the Immigration Department giving their permission, and this lack of letter was the reason for the volunteer's arrest.
"As a retired resident, with quite a large investment on this island, my husband and I have been involved in quite a few fund-raisers," she said, adding that through the American Women's Club, she has been the island co-coordinator for the Women's Auxiliary Nursing Division Services (WANDS) for a few years.
For more than 30 years now this particular organization has been visiting schools across the island conducting health assessment examinations on students, testing the children for vision and hearing deficiencies.
Obviously, the writer explained, "this work requires a lot of women volunteers.
"As anyone knows, it is hard enough to cajole and beg people to give up their time or often their money, but when this story gets out, as it surely will in our small community, it will become nearly impossible," she explained.
The ramifications of this new information she fears are too numerous to contemplate, as it relates to all the organizations where foreign volunteers are involved.
"I personally know of over 100 women involved in one or many of these groups," she revealed.
Meals on Wheels, the Crisis Centre, the Home for the Aged, the Library, the Children's Home, the Adult Literacy Program, the Humane Society, the Red Cross, the Cancer Society and the Rand Nature Centre are among those groups.
Noting that no one she knows has or ever had any permission from the Immigration Department to do volunteer work, the writer said it would be interesting to find out what percentage of foreigners make up the volunteer staff of these organizations.
"Of course, many Bahamians do the same thing and this is not to minimize their input and efforts, but usually they are working and raising their family and don't have the same amount of free time," she explained.
The Freeport News went out into the streets to find out how other persons felt about these regulations and while some felt that it is simply regulations that need to be followed, others felt it would be so discouraging for those that help out when many Bahamians don't have the time or the interest to help.
