TRUCKEE, Calif. — After shutting out Mount Rose League rival North Tahoe on the road last Thursday, the Incline boys and girls soccer teams did not fare as well Tuesday at Truckee. The girls came back from a 3-0 deficit only to fall a goal short, 3-2, while the boys lost 5-0.
The girls played what seemed like two separate games, with the Wolverines winning the first one and the Highlanders taking the second. In reality, they were two separate halves, and Truckee's 3-0 advantage in the first half proved too much for Incline to overcome, despite a valiant effort.
"I'm very happy with our effort and that we basically won the second half. We just didn't win it by enough," said Incline head coach Tom Canino.
The hosts jumped out to an early lead when junior forward Quinn Parker intercepted an intended clear-out from the Incline defense and slipped a low shot past the diving reach of Incline goalie Sarah Wright in the second minute.
Seven minutes later, Truckee's Kaylee Neill crossed a ball to Melissa Cardoza on a breakaway, and Cardoza finished for a 2-0 Truckee lead.
Then in the 38th minute, Parker found a small pocket of space between two Incline defenders and sent another low shot past Wright, this time to the goalie's left.
"We need to get over our early mistakes. We gave them every one of those goals," Canino said. "That's not to say the Truckee girls didn't play well. I thought they handled and moved the ball well. But if we didn't make so many mistakes, it would have been a different ballgame."
The Highlanders came out of the half looking energized as they steadily began pressuring the Truckee defense, which for 20 minutes bent but never broke. Incline's relentless attack finally paid off in the 60th minute, however, as freshman Vanessa Andrade received a through ball from Hannah Johnson and blasted a shot that was nicely blocked by Truckee goalie Cassandra Sawyer. But Elise Nelson, who followed the play, was there to clean up the rebound, cutting the lead to 3-1.
Incline added a second goal in the final minutes of the contest when Haley Derr crossed a ball to Andrade directly in front of the goal, and the freshman buried it into the back of the net.
"I thought the first half was pretty bad, but the second half we picked it up," Andrade said. "We were just motivated to not end the game badly. We started playing good through balls and we shot it every opportunity we had."
Incline is now 1-2 in Mount Rose League play and 10-4 overall.
The Wolverines controlled the boys game from the onset, scoring three goals in the first half off of corner kicks and four of the five goals in the game.
"That's certainly not the way we wanted it to go," said Canino, who coaches both Incline teams. "We gave up four corner-kick goals, so obviously that's something we'll need to emphasize in practice."
The first goal came in the 14th minute when Jose Sarabia lofted a corner kick directly in front of the goal, where Incline keeper Andrew Bessette tried to punch it and missed, which left an open shot from point-blank range for Truckee senior Jesse Fereira.
Truckee added to its lead in the 30th minute. This time Thomas Arnstein took the corner kick, and Austin Simonpietri got a foot on it for a 2-0 lead. Simonpietri then took another Truckee corner 9 minutes later, and Arnstein kicked in the rebound to extend the lead to 3-0.
"That's one of those things we try to work on, and our corner kicks were good today," said Truckee head coach Casey Eberhardt.
Simonpietri scored the Wolverines' fourth goal in the 68th minute, assisted by Sarabia, while Colten Roderigue rounded out the scoring with Truckee's fourth corner-kick goal in the 77th minute.
"We played a little better in the second half, but we made too many mistakes for a game like this," said Canino, who complimented the play of junior defender Oscar Gudino.
Incline is 2-1 in league and 7-5-1 overall.

A challenge to the city's ban on underage patrons at bars in the Chippewa entertainment district stumbled this week when a judge denied a request that the city lift the ban while the case plays out in court.
Two Chippewa bar owners and an individual brought a suit against the city, challenging its policy of prohibiting individuals ages 18 to 20 in bars around Chippewa Street.
The plaintiffs – bar owners Daniel Valentine of Lux and Adam March of Bayou, and 19-year-old Colin Miller – asked the city to lift the ban and allow younger patrons to visit the bars while the legal challenge was decided in court, but State Supreme Court Justice James H. Dillon denied that request.
The plaintiffs will appeal that decision, attorney Elizabeth A. Holmes said Thursday.
The city saw a victory in the decision, in that the initial attempt to stop the ordinance was unsuccessful.
"We're well positioned in the litigation," said Corporation Counsel Timothy A. Ball. The parties are due back in court April 9.
The city had allowed younger patrons in Chippewa bars on Thursdays, but that policy, known as commingling, ended in October, and it was not renewed in the Common Council.
"The motivation was always, has always, been about public safety," said Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen. "It was never intended to take away anyone's rights, it was intended to keep people alive and safe."
Bars can ask the city to allow commingling on certain nights, and the Council reviews these applications.
Pridgen, who represents Chippewa, has been approving these applications and allowing the Brown administration to deny them if it sees fit.
The Council cannot know whether the Police Department will have the staff to adequately patrol the area on a given night, but the administration does, Pridgen said.
The administration and Council are working on a better way for the applications to flow through City Hall,he said.

49ers fans in Wisconsin? QB's relatives root for SF
Not too far from Green Bay
In a city not too far from Green Bay, a tiny contingent of football fans will be rooting for the 49ers when they meet the Packers in Saturday's playoff game at San Francisco.
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's love of football has roots in Wisconsin, where Packer fans' loyalty runs deep.
Aunt Pat Kaepernick, in New London, has a photo of young Colin and her son Brett posing outside Lambeau Field in their Brett Favre jerseys.
WLUK-TV says the 49ers quarterback lived in Fond du Lac until he was four and his family moved to California. Extended family remain in Wisconsin.
And while Kaepernick grew up as a Packers fan, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers cheered for the 49ers as a boy. Rodgers grew up in Chico, about 3 hours northeast of San Francisco.

The facts are facts. The justice system has ruled. The place was just dealt a bad hand, and had to fold. Unfortunately, at stake were a good number of jobs, quite a few hopes and dreams, and a few dollars. Not to mention this sad facility that desperately needs total renovation, due to its extreme neglect over the last 10 years. Those are the facts. I guess that's all that matters. The constant backstabbing and sabotage between the previous owners, it's just the history of this place. Just like the old mans ghost, that roams the halls at night. It "could" have been saved. Now, with all the money needed to "really" fix this place, it would never show a profit. That's iy

I worked for both Roy and Melissa also, but he is MUCH more of a business-person than she will ever be!! He CARES about his customers, where all she saw was dollar signs to finance her trips to Vegas! She deserves everything she gets and more. She screwed many of her employees over bigtime, while pampering others to get what she wanted from them. I have no pity for her or any of her family.

We are a country of laws and why I'm so outraged when our President continually breaks and even makes his own laws.
If this young lady broke the law, she will and/or should pay the price. Anyone else breaking laws is no defense...but I do feel sorry that she made these choices. I hate to see anyone go to prison.

Now before I get bashed. I HATE THE GOVERNMENT with a passion. This is the same thing I complain about every day of the week but yet everyone always disagrees with. Government has wrecked our economy and everybody is suffering from it. Including Melissa. This is just that big picture everybody is willing to overlook. This is the trickle down affect. She was fighting the economy, you made the wrong choice and she is being held accountable by the same Government that contributed to it. The system in American is falling apart.

You don't like this law take it up with your legislators. But I am not going too. If this sounds harsh so be it. I'm sorry she got busted. I know the argument will be she had many things that probably contributed to this financial problem. Her nice and sweet ways may or may not be taken into consideration of her sentencing. It all depends.

She broke the law. That is the point and nothing else matters. Do you know what the concept of a law is? TO DETER CRIME. In other words, you might not like the law but it's the law and if you are ignorant enough to violate that law that is the choice you make and the consequence you will suffer from that bad choice. 5 years is a harsh sentence no doubt about it. Exactly why you better think twice before you try to screw over the Government when it comes to taxes.
Peopleperson every thing you wrote is a moot point. This is not about a popularity contest. I don't care if she was the sweetest most loving woman in the world...SHE BROKE THE LAW. Her employees are victims and unless you are willing to admit it and how the tax system in this country is setup to protect even them...it makes you no better than her.

MACON, Ga. – Stetson University sophomore catcher Jessica Griffin has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference's Softball Player of the Week, the league announced Monday. It is the second weekly honor of Griffin's career and the fifth time this season a Hatter has either been named Player or Pitcher of the Week by the A-Sun.
Griffin began the past week with a 4-for-4 performance in a win against Bethune-Cookman, where she tallied a double, four RBI and had the game ending, walk-off hit. She then took her hot hitting into the weekend series with FGCU where she was 2-for-2 on Saturday, with another two bagger, a walk and 2 RBI.
Griffin went 7-for-11 (.636) during the week, with 7 RBI and nine total bases. She also had a .818 slugging percentage during that stretch and her 2 RBI double in Saturday's 5-4 win vs. the Eagles proved to be the difference. Griffin's offensive efforts helped guide Stetson to a perfect 4-0 week and extend the Hatters' win streak to a season high 10 games.
Griffin has played in all 30 games, making 29 starts behind the plate. The second year starter is hitting .303 on the year, with four doubles, a triple and two home runs to go along with 23 RBI.
She and the Hatters will look to continue their winning ways this coming weekend as they travel to Northern Kentucky to take on the Norse in a three game set, starting on Saturday with a doubleheader.

MARTINSBURG - Sgt. Scott Funkhouser of the Martinsburg Police Department described taking part in last year's Police Unity Tour, a three-day, 236-mile bicycle ride in memory of officers killed in the line of duty, as the greatest and must humbling experience of his life as a law enforcement officer.
Funkhouser, Lt. Glenn Macher Jr. and Cpl. Stephen Strickler, all members of the department's bicycle patrol, participated for the first time in the tour -the goal of which is to bring awareness of all law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their services and sacrifices - last year.
They now hope to take part in the tour again this year, which will be held over three days in May, and are asking the public's assistance in reaching their fundraising goals.

From left, Lt. Glenn Macher Jr., Sgt. Scott Funkhouser and Cpl. Stephen Strickler of the Martinsburg Police Department pose with their 2012 Police Unity Tour bicycle jerseys. The three officers hope to raise enough donations to participate in the tour again this year. The tour, started in 1997, is done in memory of officers killed in the line of duty and raises funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Each officer who takes part in the tour is required to raise $1,700 in donations. Proceeds from the annual tour all go toward the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Since the tour's founding, it has raised nearly $12 million for the fund and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum in Washington, D.C.
"I would like to encourage the public to donate," Macher said. "It comes right down to a grassroots effort to support law enforcement, as we remember officers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice."
The deadline for the fundraising goal is April 30.
Strickler asked the public to support him and his fellow officers in their fundraising goals and to support the ride in order to remember the 126 officers who died in the line of duty last year.
"That's about one officer every three days killed in the line of the duty. Most people's contact with law enforcement is usually in a negative way, and I think that the public forgets that police officers are simply people. These men and women are fathers and mothers. The gentleman that I'm riding for is a father of three, who no longer have their dad because he was just out doing his job that day. I think that's one of the main reasons that I'm riding," Strickler said.
Funkhouser said said the ride isn't about themselves, but rather honoring the memory of those that have been lost.
"We ride in honor of the officers that gave the ultimate sacrifice. We're not doing this for us. We're not getting anything out of it. It's in memory of the officers that made the ultimate sacrifice and they are brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers to others also," Funkhouser said.
Each officer is riding in memory of a specific officer who was killed in the line of duty last year. Funkhouser is riding in memory of Sgt. Michael Todd May of the Monongalia County Sheriff's Department, who was killed Feb. 18, 2012 in an automobile accident while in pursuit of a drunk driver.
Strickler and Macher are riding for Cpl. Marshall Lee Bailey and Trooper Eric Michael Workman, respectively. The two West Virginia state troopers lost their lives when they were shot and killed in August 2012 near the Roane-Clay county line. They were shot by a suspect from the back of their police cruiser.
Strickler will also be riding in memory of Chase, a Lee County (Va.) Sheriff's Department police K-9 that was abducted from his handler's car in July 2012 and was later found dead.
The Police Unity Tour was founded in May 1997 by Officer Patrick P. Montuore of the Florham Park, N.J., Police Department, with the hope of bringing public awareness of all law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, and to honor their service and sacrifices. The tour started with just 18 riders on a four-day fundraising bicycle ride from New Jersey to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., which raised $18,000. This past May, more than 1,600 members made the same trip from points beginning in New Jersey, New York and Virginia, raising $1.65 million for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
The 2010 Police Unity Tour pledged to support the restoration of the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. The $1.1 million restoration project included the re-engraving, coating and sealing of the nearly 19,000 names on the memorial, as well as the cleaning of the walls and other memorial improvements.
Today, there are eight chapters within the Police Unity Tour, with members participating from more than 40 states. Funkhouser, Macher and Strickler are part of Chapter IV, which was created in 2010 and made its inaugural ride on May 10, 2011.
The group will begin the ride in Richmond, Va., and will ride for three days more than 230 miles to Washington, D.C. Once in Washington, the chapter will join the other seven chapters taking part in the tour and will ride as one into the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, greeted by thousands of supporters and survivors.
"From a law enforcement aspect, there's probably been no better situation to be involved with as far as the true meaning of law enforcement, which is comradery," Macher said of his experience on the tour last year. "Being with those guys for three and four days through the course of that ride was just very special."
Those wishing to donate to the officers can visit policeunitytourchapter4.com and donate online. Donations can made to individual officers. Donations can also be made at the Martinsburg Police Department. For more information, contact the department at 304-264-2100 or email the officers at email@example.com, email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Free Teleconference Training
Promoting Acceptance and Social Inclusion for People with Mental Health Problems in the Workplace
SAMHSA's Resource Center to Promote Acceptance, Dignity and Social Inclusion Associated with Mental Health invites you to register now for a free teleconference training titled, "Promoting Acceptance and Social Inclusion for People with Mental Health Problems in the Workplace."
Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2009
To register for this training teleconference, please click here for the registration page.
Please pass this invitation along to interested friends and colleagues.
Training Summary
The workforce includes many individuals with mental health problems who, like other employees, contribute greatly to the success of the organizations that employ them. However, unlike their colleagues, people with mental health conditions may experience misunderstanding, social exclusion, and discrimination by employers or other employees due to prejudicial beliefs and attitudes about people with mental illnesses in the workplace.
Some of these misperceptions include beliefs that people with mental health problems cannot handle work-related stress, are unreliable, and need special attention. The fact is that work is often the best platform for recovery and most individuals benefit greatly from purposeful, meaningful activity that is socially valued and respected. Economic security and self-sufficiency also increase with stable and fulfilling employment. And, in addition to providing a living, work gives people a sense of belonging and community that provides the opportunity to create a network of friends and colleagues.
There are benefits to employers and employees when a business decides to promote a mentally healthy workplace. A mentally healthy workplace can positively affect productivity, cost-containment of health care, and employee retention. When employers value practices and policies that promote the mental health and well-being of their employees, perceptions and attitudes about mental illnesses improve and acceptance of these issues in the workplace increases. Some of the factors involved in a mentally healthy workplace include an atmosphere that welcomes diversity; health care that treats mental illnesses with the same urgency as physical illnesses; programs and/or practices that promote and support employee health-wellness and/or work-life balance; and training for managers and supervisors in mental health workplace issues.
Send in Your Questions
We invite you to send in your questions related to addressing the challenges of medical providers in treating persons with mental health issues in advance of the teleconference. speakers will answer as many questions as possible during the teleconference. please send your questions by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The following is a copy of an e-mail that I recently sent to Penn State President Rodney Erickson.
We as consumers need to start thinking for ourselves and not following aimlessly like lemmings who follow each other to their deaths by jumping over cliffs into the ocean. We need to stand up in every way we can to the NCAA.
Hit them in their wallets - where it hurts.
As an alumni who has attended Penn State football games since my high school years in the late 1960s, I feel I need to address yet another shall I say misstep by the university that I so love.
The NCAA felt it necessary to sanction innocent players, fans and alumni in many ways.
The one I need to address is the ban on bowl games for four years. As we the fans, alumni and players have no control over this, we do have verbal input. To that end, I find it extremely disappointing that the university continues to sell/promote Tostitos by selling them at the stadium.
The Tostitos (Fiesta)?Bowl is an NCAA-sanctioned bowl game. If we are not good enough or moral enough to play in their bowls, then we shouldn't be promoting their products.
We need to stand united on all fronts and control the small things that the NCAA so ungraciously allowed us.
Throw out the Tostitos as they threw us out. Why bankroll them when they sanction us? Let's support local businesses - those who continue to support the university.
Jacklyn Bartley Kephart
Playoff schedule puzzling
Once again, Major League Baseball can't get it right.
If the Steelers and Ravens were even after 16 games in the NFL regular season, one team would be declared the North Division winner and the other a wild card or nothing at all if their records weren't as good as two other potential wild-card teams in the AFC.
There would be no extra tiebreaker game just to determine a division winner from a wild-card team and thus give all the other playoff-bound teams a decided advantage heading into the playoffs by resting up an extra week, licking their wounds as if they had a bye week.
We saw it play out last week with a multiple scenarios involving the Orioles, Yankees, A's and Rangers.
It doesn't make sense for a five seed (loser of A's-Rangers) to sit and rest while the potential one seed or at worst a two seed must play an extra game with the four seed for the right to play a five seed on Friday.
And don't even get me started on the ridiculous 2-3 format the Eastern League started this year. Anyway you slice it: If the Curve would have backed into the playoffs as the two seed, a season-ticket holder never had the opportunity to see his team (Altoona, of course) clinch the division title or Eastern League title at home.
Any way you start (0-2, 2-0 or split 1-1), you still are forced to win it all on the road as opposed to the traditional 2-2-1 format just to save a few bucks in gas.

Safe to say, Anne Schrage has a bright tennis future ahead of her.
The Incline freshman made the Highlanders proud as the sole representative at the NIAA Division I-A State High School Tennis Championships in Reno this past Friday and Saturday.
The Incline girls doubles team of Tara Lincoln and Amanda Pretti also advanced to the state championship tournament as a No. 7 seed, but they forfeited their match because it conflicted with homecoming
Schrage carried a No. 1 seed into the state tournament after winning the Northern I-A division title the previous week in Truckee. She ran into some stiff competition in her quarterfinal match, however, as she fell 1-6, 0-6 to Anjali Daulat of The Meadows to end her season.

Penn State Shenango will Host Penn State Western Campuses for MLK Day of Service
Penn State Shenango will host dozens of students from other Penn State campuses in western Pennsylvania for this year's Martin Luther King Day of Service on Monday, January 20, 2014. Each year, one campus is chosen to hold the MLK Day service event—an event where Penn State students come together to volunteer at various organizations in that community.
Students who will participate in the MLK Day of Service hail from campuses including DuBois, New Kensington, Greater Allegheny, Shenango, Fayette, and Beaver. Students, along with staff members, will do volunteer work at charitable and community-centered organizations. In previous years, the students have volunteered at a variety of sites, including local pre-schools, animal shelters, nursing homes, food pantries, and more.
Penn State students do not have classes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so they will be giving up their day off to help serve others. This program also gives students an opportunity to connect and bond with fellow Penn Staters, as well as to visit other Penn State campuses.
For more information, contact the Penn State Shenango Student Affairs Office at 724-983-2836.
Below is an agenda for Monday's program. The welcome and keynote speaker address will be held in the Penn State Shenango Great Hall (Sharon Hall located on Penn Avenue in downtown Sharon, PA.)

Islamic terrorism continued to be a primary concern for governments around the world in 2005, as terrorists intent on establishing religious rule and driving foreign influences from Muslim lands killed hundreds of civilians and military personnel.
Islamic terrorists were particularly active in the Middle East, where Iraq remained a hub of terrorist activity and Egypt suffered the deadliest terror attack in its history. Some Islamic terrorist groups also began to expand their operations to neighboring countries such as Jordan and Israel.
South Asian Islamic terrorist groups, particularly those fighting over Kashmir, expanded their scope of activities in this historically volatile region, conducting attacks in areas previously untouched by Islamic terrorism.
Western Europe also experienced an escalation in terrorist activity, as the continent suffered the first suicide bombings in its history. European law enforcement agencies, however, also registered a number of victories in 2005, foiling planned terror attacks and arresting a large number of terrorists in their respective countries.
Al Qaeda and its affiliate groups continued to be responsible for many of the world's deadliest attacks in 2005. These groups claimed responsibility for devastating attacks in England, Egypt, Jordan and Indonesia. Perhaps Al Qaeda's foremost affiliate, Al Qaeda in Iraq, launched nearly daily attacks on various targets in Iraq, including the nascent Iraqi police forces as well as U.S. soldiers. The group's leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has become one of the most influential terrorists in the world and has indicated that he plans to strike targets outside Iraq.
Other significant trends in 2005 included electoral successes of terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood, and the increasing use of the Internet by terrorist groups to communicate, train, spread propaganda and plan attacks.
Although law enforcement and intelligence agencies successfully foiled a number of potentially deadly attacks and arrested top terrorist leaders, many Islamic terrorist organizations were able to continue and even increase the frequency and severity of their attacks in 2005.

It's Burke's Law
LHP (ex-OF) Kyler Burke threw three innings of no run/no hit ball with five strikeouts and Jeimer Candelario and Dan Vogelbach cracked back-to-back RBI singles in the top of the 8th to tie the game at 3-3, but the Mariners pushed across a run in the bottom of the 8th to take back the lead and added three more in a tack-on 9th to defeat the Cubs 7-3 in AZ Instructional League action this afternoon at Mariners Field #2 at the Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria, AZ.
The game was extended an extra half-inning so that Cubs LHRP Andrew McKirahan could get his pre-scheduled one inning of work, but he probably wishes the team had just gone home after the top of the 9th with a 4-3 loss because he surrendered two long home runs (one to Phillips Castillo and the other to Jaban Blash) in the bottom of the 9th,
In addition to his game-tying RBI single, Dan Vogelbach walked three more times today, giving him seven walks in his last 12 Plate Appearances (over three games). So far at Instructs, Vogelbach is hitting just .241, but with a 406 OBP.
And with a triple and a single today, 17-year old switch-hitting 3B Jeimer Candelario is now hitting a robust 333/379/518.
While the Cubs were playing the Matiners in an AZ Instructional League game on Mariners Field #2, Goodyear (Reds/Indians) was playing Peoria (Padres/Mariners) in an AZ Parallel League (APL) game on Mariners Field #1.
The APL (AKA "Advanced Instructional League") is designed for players too advanced for traditional Instructs, but not advanced enough for the Arizona Fall League (AFL). At present only the MLB clubs that have their minor league HQ based in a shared facility in western Maricopa County (CIN & CLE in Goodyear, CHW & LAD in Glendale, SEA & SD in Peoria, and TEX & KC in Surprise) are fielding teams in the APL.
It would be more complicated for MLB clubs based in eastern Maricopa County to field an APL team, because five of the seven east-side teams (LAA, MIL, OAK, SF, and the CUBS) do not share a facility with another MLB organization.
Here is the abridged box score from today's Cubs-Mariners AZ Instructional League game (Cubs players only):
1. Danny Lockhart, 2B: 1-2 (K, 1B, BB, BB, R, RBI)
2a. Yaniel Cabezas, C-DH: 0-3 (F-8, 4-3, 6-3 DP)
2b. Justin Marra, PH: 0-0 (BB, R)
3. Jeimer Candelario, 3B: 2-4 (3B, 4-3, 6-3, 1B, RBI)
4. Dan Vogelbach, 1B: 1-1 (BB, BB, BB, 1B, RBI)
5. Neftali Rosario, DH-C: 0-4 (P-4, K, 6-3 DP, 5-U FC)
6a. Shawon Dunston, Jr, LF: 0-3 (K, F-8, K)
6b. Trey Martin, LF: 0-1 (E-5)
7. Carlos Penalver, SS: 0-4 (P-6, F-8, K, F-7)
8. Jeffrey Baez, CF: 0-3 (L-4, BB, E-5, 6-3, R)
9. Mark Malave, DH #2: 1-4 (3-U, 1B, F-8, K)
10. Garrett Schlecht, RF: 0-3 (K, BB, 2-3, K)
1. Kyler Burke: 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 39 pitches (25 strikes), 2/2 GO/FO
2. David Henrie: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 2 WP, 33 pitches (19 strikes), 1/4 GO/FO
3. Ian Dickson: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, (1 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 GIDP, 23 pitches (16 strikes), 2/3 GO/FO
4. Jose Rosario: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 1 K, 31 pitches (14 strikes), 1/2 GO/FO
5. Andrew McKirahan: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R (3 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 2 HR, 1 PO, 22 pitches (13 strikes)
NOTE: Add-on bottom of the 9th was stopped with two outs when McKirahan reached his pre-planned pitch limit
1. Yaniel Cabezas: 0-2 CS
2. Neftali Rosario: 0-2 CS
WEATHER: Partly cloudy and VERY breezy with temperatures in the 70's
Re: It's Burke's Law
DET vs TEX

Re: It's Burke's Law
Third time that NL Central teams have played in the NLCS ('04, '05).
Re: It's Burke's Law
Eff the Cardinals
Wainwright-less in the LCS, I hate them so much, so, so much.
I'll take Det vs. Mil
which means it will be Cardinals vs. Rangers
Re: It's Burke's Law
I wonder if Philly is now regretting allowing StL into the playoffs by giving them a couple wins and choking the life out of the floundering Braves.
Re: It's Burke's Law
I'll go Milwaukee vs. Texas. Texas just looks too well-rounded right now. Over a 7 game series, not sure Detroit can overcome their balance. That said, Detroit's Benoit/Valverde tag team is nasty, so if they can build a lead, get enough SP, who knows. I think Milwaukee's pitching will be too much for St. Louis, though.
Re: It's Burke's Law
Re: It's Burke's Law
That seems like a fair read, but don't underestimate what Detroit has in the rotation. 1-4 I think I'll take the Tigers rotation over the Rangers. Scherzer has come on nicely, Fister is having a breakout year, and Porcello is inconsistent but has the potential to dominate any one game.
The real problem with the Tigers is that the offense is hot and cold. You know the Rangers are going to score at least some runs, so they need to be consistent enough to get 4 of 7. The Rangers probably won't score than less than 3 runs more than once in the series.
Re: It's Burke's Law
How good do those Greinke and Marcum trades look now?
Re: It's Burke's Law
Compated to the Garza trade? Excellent. Marcum trade, probably not so good. They would have been better served paying less for a lesser pitcher.
Re: It's Burke's Law
On a related note.....Does any team make more sense than Milwaukee for Aramis?
Figure that Mat Gamel at first and Aramis at 3rd will be at least the production of Fielder and Casey Mc provided this year. Gives them at least one more year to keep that window open.
Re: It's Burke's Law
Yeah. Figure they are going to have to pick up at least one solid producer or think about trading off some of those guys who are in their prime soon.
Re: It's Burke's Law
I'd argue Anaheim makes as much sense, if not more, than Milwaukee. They desperately need a middle of the order run producer. Even with some bad contracts, you could still occasionally hide Aramis' defense by DH'ing him.
Re: It's Burke's Law
I thought it then, but I thought the Greinke trade was a steal for Milwaukee. I did not like the talent KC got for him. I wasn't a big fan of the Marcum trade since they gave up Lawrie for him, and Lawrie looks like he's going to be a superb offensive player.
Re: It's Burke's Law
AZ Phil, just wondering if you think Burke could be added to the 40 man if he keeps throwing like this, or even Lake or Hatley based on AZ Fall League performance?
Re: It's Burke's Law
my hunch is that it's too early. First, Burke doesn't have to be protected until after 2012. 2nd, this is instruct work and Burke hasn't done anything to suggest that he could definitively move up the ladder quickly. 3rd, there's simply enough lefties ahead for pen duties that it seems quite unnecessary to force such an action. I mean, in Marshall, Russell, Beliveau, Gaub, Maine, there's more than enough pen lefties in the upper levels.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs gave Burke a rotation slot in Daytona to start 2012, though. Would give them some flexibility on his future while continuing his development against tougher competition, giving them a better gauge of his potential as a pitcher.
Re: It's Burke's Law
Thanks, Toonster
Re: It's Burke's Law
Thanks as always, AZ Phil.
Re: It's Burke's Law
you know, before Howard tore his achilles there, I was wondering if they'd think about trading him and trying to sign Fielder.
Wouldn't surprise me if Yanks make a run at Pujols or Fielder and possibly trade Teixeira, could also DH him, but that's a tougher sell to the FA that he's coming to take Teix's job with the guy still there.
of course, this goddamn Cardinals run, just makes it more and more likely Pujols signs his extension before he even tests the market.
Re: It's Burke's Law
of course, this goddamn Cardinals run, just makes it more and more likely Pujols signs his extension before he even tests the market.
I'm OK with that. He's older than Soriano was when we got him, and showed signs of decline this year (though onr non-typical sign). Let the Cardinals give him an eight year deal.
Carlos Marmol
I'd like to give a personal "Fuck You" to Carlos Marmol for nailing down a playoff spot to the Cards.
It is comforting to know that Jim Hendry sealed him up for two more years.
I hate the Cardinals more that the Packers, if that's possible.
Although it is incredible that the Cards organization has seen such success over the last 60 years, while the Cubs have done nothing.
Re: It's Burke's Law
"I hate the Cardinals more that the Packers, if that's possible."
True. At least the Packers do it with talent. The Cardinals have four stars, and one hasn't played all year.
Re: It's Burke's Law
Probably five stars with Berkman.
Re: It's Burke's Law
I must not hate the Cardinals if I can be coaxed into their camp by the mere fact of my mother-in-law being an avid Phillies fan.
But if I did hate the Cardinals I would be pissed at Marmol for prying open their coffin-lid on that last Saturday in September.
Re: It's Burke's Law
you know, before Howard tore his achilles there, I was wondering if they'd think about trading him and trying to sign Fielder.
per rotoworld, the last line is key to Reuben Amaro Jr's newest pain (5/125). Achilles ruptures are usually described as feeling like getting hit in the calf with a baseball bat or the "pop" has been described as hearing a gunshot go off. I kinda like the flat tire description too.
Although some achilles ruptures can be treated non-surgically, most performance athletes get this injury surgically repaired. The re-rupture rate is lower with surgical repair and the rehab can be started much sooner. Still, this will leave him with some permanent calf muscle deficit even after full rehab. Because he's not much of a runner before the injury and plays 1B, it probably won't have much impact. It might affect his fielding range a bit.
Ryan Howard believes he may have torn his left Achilles tendon while attempting to run out a ground ball on the final play of Friday's Game 5 loss to the Cardinals in the NLDS.
Howard suffered the injury as soon as he got out of the batter's box and was unable to run to first base. "I was trying to run, and I just felt this pop," said Howard. "The whole thing just went numb, like it was on fire. Just tried to keep going, and went down. It literally felt like I was on a flat tire. I tried to get up. Couldn't go." Howard is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday, but could miss part of the 2012 season if the injury requires surgery. Coincidentally, next season is the first year of his five-year, $125 million contract extension.
3 GM Spots Open
Cubs, Angels, O's
Re: It's Burke's Law
The winning finalists for Chicago and Los Angeles will accept the Baltimore job, acquire Soriano and Wells, and then "upgrade" themselves. Let it be.
Re: It's Burke's Law
it's not the first year of the ARam deal that should concern them (unless they are the team that moves back to the AL, then he can DH).
Re: It's Burke's Law
if the angels don't sign aram there's something weird with the world, imo...or aram don't want to play there, one.
more theo
something about Red Sox not giving permission yet and Theo is "torn" about what to do.
Re: It's Burke's Law
rsox need to just give him an extension already and get this over with.
i totally believe 3+ cubs suits flew all the way out to boston just to have some really really fresh clam chowduh.
Re: It's Burke's Law
You gottah try it wicked fresh. It's ta die fah.
Re: It's Burke's Law
r.howard out until may/june 2012 according to mlb network..."preliminary reports"
Re: It's Burke's Law
Carlos Pena landing spot?
Re: It's Burke's Law
may/june isn't exactly worth $7-10m of replacement i'd imagine...also, unless the new GM has other ideas pena could be a cub for another 1-2 years.
Re: It's Burke's Law
"Other ideas" includes not flushing money down the toilet, hopefully.
Re: It's Burke's Law
followup on Ryan Howard...from rotoworld:
Ryan Howard has indeed been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon and will undergo offseason surgery... He's likely to miss the entire first half of the 2012 season, and could even be out the entire year.
Source: Danny Knobler on Twitter
and Knobler followup tweet: I know people are assuming Howard is out for all 2012, but trainer I talked to said unless surgery goes bad, it's usually 6 month recovery.
My thoughts: He should be healed and released for baseball activities by spring (Oct-Feb is 4 1/2 months) but may not be running well enough to play until mid season.
Injury replacement Depth at 1B is so to speak, the Phillies Achilles heel.
Ross Gload and a platoon from AAA (lh, Jeff Larish and rh, Cody Overbeck) are the official depth behind Howard. Something will be done to shore up that hole. Makes Bryan LaHair look better every second.
Dusty would have acquired Neifi for such a dilemma and moved Utley to 1B.
Re: It's Burke's Law
they got j.mayberry and b.francisco at least...don't think francisco has played 1st, though.
mayberry's slotted to take over in LF i'd imagine, but francisco or mayberry could handle it. ...plus outside cheap options. meh.
Re: It's Burke's Law
believe D. Brown is slotted for LF
Mayberry to 1st is most likely, but they can find a spare 1b for 3 months by throwing a dart at a board.
Re: It's Burke's Law
Phil Nevin is still available?
Re: It's Burke's Law
I was thinking the same thing, crunch. Pancakes to the Angels makes too much sense.
(that was in response to crunch a little higher up...don't know why it didn't thread off of his comment)

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.

Rescuers pull off a miracle
We salute the FBI agents who safely rescued a 5-year-old boy Monday who had been held hostage by an armed man in an underground bunker in Alabama.
When the hostage crisis began nearly a week earlier, the prospect it would end badly was undeniable. The armed man stormed a school bus and shot the driver to death before taking the boy hostage. Yes, the slain bus driver deserves recognition for his heroism, too.
But the rescuers performed a miracle, freeing the boy while making sure his captor did not harm him. Unfortunately, the kidnapper had to be killed in the process. But then, the abductor will never harm anyone again.

Environmental Toxin "Acrolein" May Help Cause Multiple Sclerosis

Researchers use hydralazine to counter it
Researchers from
Purdue University
have discovered that an
environmental toxin
may aid in the cause of multiple sclerosis.
The study's lead researcher is Riyi Shi, a medical doctor and professor of neuroscience and biomedical engineering in Purdue University's Department of Basic Medical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Center for Paralysis Research and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. Shi and his team of researchers have found that a certain environmental toxin could be held partially responsible for causing multiple sclerosis (MS).
The toxin, acrolein, is found in
air pollutants
like auto exhaust and tobacco
. It is also created inside the body when nerve cells are damaged.
Nerve cells are insulated with myelin, and when a person has MS, the myelin is dismantled and the nerve fibers are damaged. Researchers believe acrolein is responsible for the dismantling of the myelin as well as inducing the creation of free radicals, which are compounds that cause further injury to tissues that are already damaged due to trauma or disease.
"Only recently have researchers started to understand the details about what acrolein does to the human body," said Shi. "We are studying its effects on the central nervous system, both in trauma and degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis."
To see if the researchers were correct about acrolein's effects, Shi and his team of researchers used a disease much like MS to elevate the acrolein in the spinal cord tissues of mice by nearly 60 percent.
To neutralize acrolein and temporarily halt the onset of MS, Shi used the drug hydralazine, which is an FDA-approved medication normally used to treat hypertension. Previous studies conducted by Shi and his team have shown that hydralazine prevents acrolein from causing
neuronal death
For this particular study, researchers concluded that a connection existed between acrolein and MS because the elevated acrolein levels within the mice were reduced by 50 percent when given hydralazine. According to Shi, this study is the first concrete laboratory evidence showing a link between acrolein and MS.
"The treatment did not cause any serious side effects in the mice," said Shi. "The dosage we used for hydralazine in animals is several times lower than the standard dosing for oral hydralazine in human pediatric patients. Therefore, considering the effectiveness of hydralazine at binding acrolein at such low concentrations, we expect that our study will lead to the development of new neuroprotective
therapies for MS
that could be rapidly translated into the clinic."
In addition, the researchers have also discovered the specific chemical signature of hydralazine, which could lead to synthetic alternatives with less side effects.

RE: Good
The 90% ballpark (it might actually have been 95%) is from the results of recent studies done by Dr. Zamboni and/or colleagues in Europe, on hundreds of MS patients (probably from all over the world). I haven't checked out the work myself, I heard it second hand from my mom, who keeps up to date on this topic.
It's a simple test nowadays: if a person has MS, give them an MRV scan, and any venal constrictions show up clear as day. So that's what these doctors are doing, and the 90% ballpark is what they are finding. It's that simple.
The difficult part is that
you actually have to do the damn test to find the problem.
Big Pharma wants a magic pill to sell, and they do not want anything else to come along (they do have a lot of money invested after all). The upper echelons of neurological research have huge reputations and budgets tied up in this "auto immune disorder" dogma; they could find their jobs quite suddenly obsolete if it's a dead end. And MS societies, well, they only stay in business so long as MS remains an incurable mystery disease; who would donate to "find a cure" for a mundane problem that's now solved. All together, that's all the big players with all the big voices (ie it's all the moneyed parties, and not the public at large). Those parties exert a lot of pull on the medical establishment, and/or they are the medical establishment. They out and out call the shots on what medical policy is, and they proclaim what the accepted truth is, concerning MS. And thus, much of the medical community is unwilling to even do the MRV testing, and the whole topic gets subjected to FUD smear campaigns, calling for never ending research and studies and "proper" approvals. It's just too radical (ie threatening) for them, that someone might have discovered a real cure in a place they weren't looking, so they refuse to look.
Seriously, they are talking about doing double blind studies, only pretending to operate on half the MS patients, just to prove that it's not all imaginary placebo or something. I bet that bright idea never came up once for broken bones, clogged arteries, strokes or aneurysms, or malfunctioning heart valves. I detect some seriously evil heel dragging (people are still dying from "MS"). CCSVI is a bloody mechanical plumbing issue, and we have the tools at hand.
If you actually scan people, as more and more doctors and clinics are doing world wide, you might just get a 90%+ hit rate like they are. That's what you get when you finally figure out how to look in the right place; you find the true cause of the problem.
Here in Canada, if you go to a doctor, and complain about just one of your "MS" symptoms on its own, you can get an MRV fairly easily (true example: progressing numbness in feet). And when it shows up that you have serious venal constrictions, they can treat you for that, not a big deal.
But if you have ever been diagnosed with "MS",
even though you have symptoms that would each justify the same test on their own
, they will deny you the testing because "you have MS", and "this hasn't been proven", and "this needs more research" (oh the irony of that last one). And of course we all know that "MS is an incurable autoimmune disorder..." ...don't we?
My mom knows a guy who just came down with MS over the last few years. He managed to get tested and treated for CCSVI before it got really bad, because his family doctor was willing to stay quiet on his behalf about the MS diagnosis, and snuck him through the system for an MRV test, based on the numb feet symptom alone. He was one of the lucky few MS patients to have an open minded doctor that does his homework, and who was brave enough to sneakily arrange for the testing. Of course when the MRV scan results were in, there was no possible doubt that there was a serious problem, so getting treatment was a given. The skeptical specialists (radiologists and cardiovascular surgeons) who would not have granted the testing up front (because of the MS), had their eyes opened wide, and will hopefully be more receptive in the future.
Thankfully the truth of CCSVI is easy enough to demonstrate, and many clinics are just going ahead with it, on the basis that it's all completely normal testing and surgery, just applied to a newly recognized issue. And they
doing it
because it works
. The clinic that treated my mom is compiling results, and they will eventually publish. Many others are doing the same. The numbers will come out. But especially now at the beginning of this new treatment, many of the people involved are too busy helping people (how doctors make money) to focus on the research aspect, so it will take a while.
As for the lesions, the most involved researchers are thinking it's iron buildup caused by excess blood pressure in the brain. If you want details, I'm sure Google is your friend. Of course the resulting lesions are permanent or long term brain damage. If you cure the CCSVI, then you stop them from forming, so the sooner the treatment, the less permanent damage. If you stop the progression, you have cured the disease. We might also cure diabetes soon, but don't expect those who have been blinded by it to get their eyesight back, just because they no longer need insulin shots. Likewise, don't expect someone who's been 10 years in a wheelchair to suddenly jump up and tango, and cheer loudly if they ever stand again. And cheer again that they won't progress to lose the ability to eat or breath, and die.

The federal government shutdown, the debt ceiling showdown and the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are serious matters.
But those objects of public debate are also fodder for the comic relief Jon Stewart airs nightly on "The Daily Show."
And though the liberal host launches most of his sarcastic barbs at conservatives, he aimed on-target ridicule at U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius while interviewing her Monday night.
Mr. Stewart started the segment by pulling out a laptop computer and telling the plainly chagrined Ms. Sebelius: "We're going to do a challenge. I'm going to try and download every movie ever made and you are going to try to sign up for Obamacare — and we'll see which happens first."
What happened next was a series of fair questions from Mr. Stewart, and evasive answers from the secretary.
Ms. Sebelius conceded that the website where Americans are supposed to sign up for insurance under the law has been a mess. When asked how many people had enrolled on the site since it supposedly became available on Oct. 1, she said she didn't know.
That was embarrassing enough for the HHS secretary.
Then it got worse for her — and the administration.
Mr. Stewart decried the White House's decision to postpone the mandate requiring businesses with 50 or more employees to provide health insurance to them: "If I'm an individual that doesn't want it, it would be hard for me to look at a big business getting a waiver and not having to do it and me having to."
After inartful dodging by Ms. Sebelius, Mr. Stewart asked: "Let me ask you this — am I a stupid man?"
No, he's not.
Yet like too many other Americans, Mr. Stewart has been slow to spot the folly of Obamacare.
But at the end of Monday night's show, long after Ms. Sebelius had left the stage, Mr. Stewart gave this withering conclusion on Ms. Sebelius' failure to effectively defend the double standard on the business and individual mandates: "And then I think to myself, 'Well, maybe she's just lying to me.' "
There's no "maybe," though, about this law being pitched on false pretenses.
The president, while pushing the bewildering legislation through Congress without a single Republican vote, repeatedly said that it would let people who liked their insurance plans keep them as they were. He also said the law would produce widespread reductions in insurance rates — and a widespread increase in the number of Americans with health insurance.
None of those assurances has been fulfilled.
Meanwhile, the law has predictably powered a shift toward more part-time — and fewer full-time — workers by employers wary of the law's burdens. Ms. Sebelius further undermined her credibility by denying that obvious side-effect Monday night.
As for that mess of a website, Luke Chung, an online database programmer who supports Obamacare, told CBS News: "I would be ashamed and embarrassed if my organization delivered something like that."
And Obamacare's fundamental flaws go far beyond the ongoing cyber-debacle in this latest rollout.
Yes, Republican lawmakers have foolishly created a distraction from the law's shortcomings with their ill-advised, futile attempt to "defund" it, a strategy that triggered the ongoing federal shutdown.
But they're not the ones blocking Obamacare at this point.
President Obama is, by issuing self-serving edicts delaying many of the law's most onerous consequences beyond next year's congressional elections.
The good news Thursday was that the GOP House and the president appeared to be moving toward a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
The bad news is that the Affordable Care Act, with or without a workable website, remains an unaffordable law.
And that's no laughing matter.

text: Marian Sofferin Make a Donation Make an Appointment Ask a Question Marian Sofferin, 57, has experienced far more than her share of health problems over the years, but none puzzled her doctors in Seattle as much as Mycobacterium Avium Complex, or MAC. Then, she discovered National Jewish Health. Marian's history with difficult illnesses began nearly 40 years ago, when she was 18 years old and being treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer of lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes. She had surgery and received radiation treatments to her chest and owes her 38 years of being cancer-free to these treatments. But, she also knows that they affected her health over the years. More than a decade later, when she turned 30, Marian began to experience lung problems that included frequent bouts of pneumonia and chronic infections. In 1996, Marian and her family moved from Southern California to Seattle. Still experiencing respiratory difficulties, she began coughing up blood. Her primary care doctor sent her to a pulmonologist who conducted a bronchoscopy. Initially, Marian's doctors thought she had tuberculosis, but the results eventually came back as MAC, a germ related to the tuberculosis germ. It is not contagious and is believed to enter the lungs or body through air, water or soil. Marian's doctors put her on a year-long course of antibiotics, and said that at some point, surgery might be an option. In addition to the damage caused by the MAC infection, her lungs had been damaged by the radiation treatments for cancer years earlier. The antibiotics resolved the infection, but six years later, in 2002, she began coughing up blood again. Marian went to a different pulmonologist in Seattle who put her on a battery of multiple antibiotics for two years. She started to feel better, but still had low energy and didn't feel like herself. The doctor wanted to take a wait-and-see approach, so Marian went to another pulmonologist for a second opinion. The pulmonologist told her that they see very few cases of MAC in the Seattle area and recommended that she come to National Jewish Health. Marian is one of thousands of patients who are referred to National Jewish Health each year because of our expertise and unique approaches to treatment of respiratory, cardiac and immune diseases. In February 2005, Marian came to National Jewish Health for a two-week stay. After a full work-up, Marian's doctors, Scott Worthen, MD, and Gwen Huitt, MD, determined that surgery was the best treatment. "After years of searching for an answer, it was wonderful to have my doctors make a definitive treatment decision," Marian said. "I had no life, and no one else wanted to make a decision. National Jewish saved my life." Marian underwent three months of IV infusion and then had the surgery in May 2005. She returned to Seattle and stayed on antibiotics for two years. Marian felt healthy for the first time in years and had the energy to resume one of her favorite activities, mowing the lawn. Marian has experienced other health problems related to the radiation treatments, including open-heart surgery in 2010, but she knows she can always rely on National Jewish Health if necessary. "There is no place like it. When all else fails, I know I can go there," she said. Through it all, Marian maintains her positive outlook on life and makes the best of what, at times, can be a difficult situation. Despite the problems that the radiation treatments caused, she is thankful that they allowed her to live a full life with her husband and two daughters.

The Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers haven't won the championship of the Curve Classic since 2005, but they hope to change things Sunday.
Following a first-round win over Indiana on Friday, the Golden Tigers exploded for a 16-4 semifinal victory over Claysburg-Kimmel on Saturday afternoon at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
The Tigers will face newcomer Bellwood-Antis in today's title game at 1 p.m. at PNG Field. The Blue Devils knocked off six-time champion Altoona, 6-4, in the other semi.
"Every year we play in this tournament we like to take one game at a time," Hollidaysburg coach Jon Szynal said. "You always like to think you can make it to the finals, get to Sunday and anything can happen."
The Tigers dominated from start to finish against C-K, exploding for six runs in the first inning and then adding 2, 4, 1 and 3 to finish off the Bulldogs in a five-inning mercy rule contest.
"To have a big inning like that is always a bonus," Szynal said of his team's fast start. "We scored two in the first yesterday [Friday against Indiana], and when you put up a big number like that, it takes a little bit [pressure] off your pitcher.
"He [sophomore starter Jordan McCall] didn't have his best stuff today," Szynal noted, "but he stayed out of the big inning, which was good for him, and then Corey Sell came in and threw a lot of strikes and put together some nice innings."
Szynal couldn't have asked for much more offensively than the Tigers gave him. All nine starters hit safely as the Tigers collected 15 hits off two C-K pitchers.
Trent Sipes and Brett Hileman each had two singles and a double and both scored three runs. McCall and Thayne Russell had two hits apiece while Andy Crum and Luke Glass had three RBIs each.
"This being our second game, I thought some of our at-bats were better than yesterday, as far as being patient and seeing some pitches," Szynal said. "Guys had more quality at-bats."
Hileman, who is expected to be one of the Tigers' leaders, said the first inning was key.
"It really lifted us up," Hileman said. "It's only our second game and we were all pretty tense, so it was good."
Reaching the finals also was big, according to Hileman.
"It feels pretty good," Hileman said. "We're working hard and come every day with the same mentality. My goal is to help make all of my teammates better, and that will just make the team better."
C-K coach Justin Harris was disappointed with his team's performance after beating Bishop Guilfoyle, 3-2, Friday.
"To spot a team like that six runs ... there's not a whole lot you can do," Harris said. "Plus, you can't make seven errors. They're a good team so you've got to make every play, and we didn't make very many today."

Anyway, I was on the radio and they asked me about my own Mom, how did I listen to my mother? And I honestly look back and feel like I wasn't very good at listening to my mother. I feel like I gave her the hardest time and that makes me sad. That is maybe why it was uncomfortable for me to think about having my own daughter. I might have to go there. I might have to face that stuff.
And yet, without knowing it, I was listening. Things got past my stubborn will to be an individual and someone not molded by anyone, especially my parents. Little did I realize... they made the clay, they created the very thing I was made of. They instilled in me the spark that always lit the way leading toward my dreams, and away from what is practical and "normal". They designed me to be that radical person I was becoming despite my adolescent thinking that it was the opposite. They led me to believe it was all my own doing. Hahahaha. I see that so much now in my own children.
You think they are not listening. But they are. They just don't know it.
My Mom wanted me to believe I could do anything. She told me to follow my dreams and didn't just say it, she showed it. She still does. I do believe I can do anything. I can't not follow my dreams. It's the air I breathe.
Mom, thank you. Happy Mother's Day. I only hope that I continue to become a better listener to you as I need it now more than ever, and I hope I make you proud. Love you.

A heffalump is a creature mentioned in the Winnie the Pooh stories. Original books depict heffalumps as looking very much like elephants. Pooh and Piglet fear heffalumps, and in an attempt to cover their fears they attempt to bravely capture a heffalump in a trap. But no heffalumps are ever caught in their trap, and indeed no heffalump is ever met within the course of the books aside from those that appear in Pooh's nightmares, wherein they are very fierce and are intent on stealing Pooh's honey.
A heffalump has also become a term of abuse for a fat person and or oaf, similar to Jabba, as in Jabba The Hutt.

That heffalump simply can't play Jenga what what.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Forget the fake blood and ghoulish costumes - I'll tell you what's really scary about Halloween. It's the swapping out of the summer clothes for your winter gear. The act itself isn't so bad. It's the having to look at how many of those carefully planned outfits you didn't wear during the warm season.
Even more frightening when you find yourself putting them into storage "for next year." You know what else is really scary about Halloween? How quickly you break your resolve "not to eat any trick or treat candy." Somewhere around Labor Day you find yourself purchasing a bag of mini (right) Almond Joys knowing everyone in your household hates coconut.
You know what else is really scary about Halloween? Its arrival coincides with the year's first snowfall, and suddenly you decide you must bake, even if it just scoops from a huge tub of Nestle's Cookie Dough. (Killer.) Why? Because you know with your Burka line of winter coats you can get away with a few more pounds.
That is, until it starts all over again next summer. And you know the only thing really scary about those Halloween movies? Jamie Lee Curtis looks better now than she did 30 years ago. This is a woman who probably swaps out her annual summer clothes because she was so active they got too big for her.
Lychee Evil Eyes
3 15 oz. cans peeled, whole lychees in heavy syrup (I got mine at Village Market in Incline)
1 cup whole, roasted almonds
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
red food coloring
Preparation: Drain lychees and pat dry before placing them in large bowl. Put almonds in a smaller bowl and the cream cheese on a plate. This is your assembly line. Using a very small spoon or a chop stick, fill a lychee whole with about 1/4 tablespoon cream cheese and then insert an almond.
Pointed in first, so it protrudes out just enough to look like an eye. Next, take the red food coloring and very lightly touch the tip of the bottle to around the almond area of the "eye." Repeat. Each 15 ounce can of Lychees has about 20 whole fruits, so you will end up with 60 eyes on a platter. Be sure to arrange them frightfully.
