The Green Wave boys basketball team had mixed results during the 20th annual Roundball Classic tournament last weekend.
Summerville bounced back from an opening-round loss to claim a 61-36 victory over James Island Friday. The Wave shot 52 percent from the field and out rebounded James Island 35-23.
John Jenkins led the way, posting 23 points. Brandon Wilkerson chipped in 21 for the Wave. Brady Schuck and DaVon Fludd both had 10 points for the Trojans.
The next day, Summerville wrapped up its participation in the tournament by battling Goose Creek. The game was tied six times and featured four lead changes before the Gators pulled out a 44-42 victory.
With 2.7 seconds remaining, Summerville got off a three-point shot that just missed so the Wave fell to 8-4 on the season while Goose Creek improved to 10-2. John Jenkins led the Wave with 18 points and Christian Kalacanic chipped in 10 points. Goose Creeks Dantez Bennamon led all scorers with 25 points.
Pinewood went 0-3 in the tournament, but did fare better in its third game than it did in the first two rounds. The Panthers (6-7) fought Stratford (8-6) to a tie late in the second half, but then the Knights pulled away for a 78-70 victory. Reid Radebaugh scored 26 points for Pinewood while Ryan Felder added 12 and Jimmy Thomas added 10.
However, TeAndre Hansley scored 43 points for Stratford and made six rebounds. Thad Thompson added 12 points for the Knights.
The day before Pinewood fell 65-47 to Charleston Collegiate. Felder led the Panther scorers with 16 points.
This year teams from out of state battled for both championships. In the Rotary Bracket championship Mt. St. Joseph of Maryland earned a 77-57 win over Charlotte Christian of North Carolina. In the Communities In Schools Bracket championship Thomas Jefferson of New York earned a 67-50 win over Our Lady of Good Counsel, another Maryland school.

The Amherst Town Board weighed two rezoning requests Monday to build apartment complexes on two different sites. In both cases, neighbors have raised objections.
One would put a senior apartment complex on the southwest corner of Maple and Ayer roads.
Another would add a 70-unit "luxury" apartment complex between Sheridan Drive and Transit Road, by the Sheridan Meadows office park.
The first public hearing at Monday night's meeting involved a proposal by developers Paul Bliss and Michael Connors to rezone three single-family residential properties at the corner of Maple and Ayer as "multifamily residential" for the purpose of building an independent senior living apartment complex.
The complex would involve a single building with three stories, comprising 98 units. Most would be two-bedroom apartments, while 18 would be one-bedroom units, said lawyer Sean Hopkins. Each unit would have one designated parking space.
Hopkins said this intersection already is home to a commercial plaza, gas station, urgent care facility and medical offices, and that the use for this corner would be far less intensive than other commercial developments.
Residents who live on Ayer Road generally oppose the project, however.
Resident Tom Peters came forward with a petition of nearly 70 signatures in opposition to the project, citing traffic and other concerns. While one neighbor immediately to the south of the planned development submitted a letter of support, most other residents on the street are opposed, he said.
"I've only had two 'nos' of all the people I've asked to sign," Peters said.
Hopkins, however, responded that senior apartments generate very little traffic overall, adding less than 10 cars to vehicle traffic counts during high-traffic periods.
"It doesn't get any better than this in terms of the impact on traffic at peak times," he said.
The board delayed voting on the rezoning request until its next meeting on Dec. 17.
Finally, the board heard a proposal by Uniland and developer Paul Bliss to rezone mostly vacant land at 6275 and 7610 Transit Road from its "office building" designation to "multifamily residential" in order to build a "luxury" apartment complex.
The proposal calls for creating 70 luxury apartments, ranging from one to three bedrooms, spread out among a dozen two-story buildings. The project would also include 140 parking spaces (52 garage spaces and 88 open spaces).
The plan also calls for creating three access points to the development, including access to Transit Road and Sheridan Drive via the existing Sheridan Meadows South office park, which would be adjacent to the project and is also owned by Uniland.
The development also calls for a connection through the small Tennyson Terrace community, which consists of homeowners who live on a narrow, dead-end street.
Those residents, however, expressed strong opposition to having their development opened up to the new apartment complex and possibly become a cut-through for office park and other traffic.
Rita J. Schlabach referred to a petition signed by more than 50 residents, as well as about 35 objection letters, and additional traffic diagrams given to the board in opposition to the project accessing their residential road.
Supervisor Barry Weinstein asked residents if they would withdraw their objections to the apartment project if the developer would agree to give up access to Tennyson Courts.
"Yes!" the audience responded.
The developers said they would accept that condition if it meant they would receive rezoning approval. The board agreed to vote on the rezoning request at its next meeting.

Who says rural life is boring? There's never a dull moment in the country.
My beloved rooster, Roy, went missing two weeks ago and I've been in a terrible funk. I thought I found him in a pen a half-mile away, and yes, I was creeping on other people's property looking for my bird.
I hollered, "Roy, is that you?" and he crowed and flapped his wings. I debated knocking on the door of the house—"You have my boy Roy!"--but people in our town already think I'm crazy, so I decided to return with Widdle later.
"Later" wasn't soon enough. The next day the pen contained just a couple of forlorn hens. No sign of Roy. I suspect he was sold on the side of the road, which is how he came to us: Witnesses say he escaped the seller and ran across the highway to our spread. (Which finally answers the question, "Why did the chicken cross the road?")
I loved Roy, but he's gone and my heart must go on.
Which brings us to the latest critter.
Widdle keeps an automatic dog feeder in the shed out back for Molly, his ancient Lab. A few nights ago he walked in looking puzzled and said, "Either Molly is now eating five pounds of kibble a day, or a varmint is raiding the feeder."
Now, I couldn't care less what goes on in that shed. It's dark and cobwebby and I stay away from it. So I said, "Mmmmmmm," and kept reading "Garden & Gun."
The next day Widdle checked the feeder about 7 p.m. "The raider struck again. The top was knocked off, so I tied it down with cord," he announced.
Twelve hours later he came roaring in the back door like someone slapped his mama. "It's untied! And half the food is gone!" Widdle does not like to be bested by man or beast, so he was furious.
He rooted around in the spare bedroom closet for a few minutes, and emerged triumphantly waving a length of electrical fence string. (I feel about the spare bedroom closet the same way I feel about the shed. But that's another column.)
Widdle went back outside and tied that lid shut with every Boy Scout knot he could remember.
The next morning the string was untied and neatly coiled beside the feeder, which was empty. "What the heck could it be?" Widdle fumed.
"Maybe it's Sasquatch," I said, giggling at my own wit… until I saw his face. Then I quickly began baking his favorite cookies.
That day he borrowed a friend's trail camera, which takes photos when motion is detected. He hung it above the feeder, whose lid was now strapped down with approximately a quarter-mile of duct tape.
The next morning Widdle went out and downloaded the photos to a memory card. He forwarded the file to me, without comment. There they were: sharp, color images of a huge raccoon patiently trying to unpeel the duct tape. This coon was gigantic. And hungry.
Later Widdle texted me: "Did u c the big she-coon? I'll get a live trap & relocate her this wknd."
I texted back: "U can't do that. In 1 pic, u can c she's a nursing mother." He didn't reply, and now I'm writing this column.
I don't often defy my husband, but he's not going to relocate Mama and leave her babies to starve. Maybe we'll use the trail cam for that spat, and u can c it 4 yourself.

Lincoln Middle High School's Middle School is scheduled to visit Washington, D.C. on April 8-10 as an effort to build schema for students who receive Title I funding and to increase their literacy scores. The middle school has been receiving a lot of attention recently as they have improved from "at risk" to "average" at the state level with a good absolute rating overall for the middle school. The school's federal report card rating has also improved from "F' last year to "A" this year.
With initiatives such as after school tutoring, teacher mentors and the 21st century program which is a grant from Clemson University, middle school students are receiving individualized attention to meet their learning needs. It is the teachers at LMHS's hope that this trip will further enhance student learning and encourage the idea that education can extend beyond the classroom.
Students have been participating in a variety of fundraisers including selling chocolate bars; they will also be selling food, ornaments, bracelets and other affordably- priced holiday gifts at the McClellanville Art Walk on Dec. 6 and 7. While students are taking this active role in fundraising for this trip, they need additional help. Interested donors should look into the Donors Choose Grant, entitled Building Schema for Rural Students: A Trip to DC or use the link posted below. http://www.donorschoose.org/project/building-schema-for-rural-students-a-tr/1109173?challengeid=252880&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=proposal&utm_campaign=copyURL&rf=copyURL_dccontent_2013_11_teacherid_1554189
"It is our hope to provide a trip for our students that they may not otherwise be able to take," says Margaret Crouch, who has been teaching in McClellanville for 10 years and whom Principal Dr. Commodore credits with being one of the driving forces behind raising test scores at the middle school level. LMHS is asking media outlets and interested donors for any assistance with funding this trip and helping the school promote literacy, build schema and ultimately enhance our students' education as a part of vision 2016.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting - discharge; CAS - discharge; Endarterectomy - carotid artery - discharge; Angioplasty - carotid artery - discharge
You had an angioplasty done when you were in the hospital. You may have also had a stent (a tiny wire mesh tube) placed in the blocked area to keep it open. Both of these were done to open a narrowed or blocked artery that supplies blood to your brain.
Your health care provider inserted a catheter (flexible tube) into an artery through an incision (cut) in your groin or your arm.
Your health care provider used live x-rays to carefully guide the catheter up to the area of the blockage in your carotid artery.
Then your health care provider passed a guide wire through the catheter to the blockage. A balloon catheter was pushed over the guide wire and into the blockage. The tiny balloon on the end was inflated. This opened the blocked artery.
You should be able to do most of your normal activities within a few days, but take it easy.
If your surgeon put the catheter in through your groin:
You will need to care for your incision.
Having carotid artery surgery does not cure the cause of the blockage in your arteries. Your arteries may become narrow again. To lower your chances of this happening:

It was not the finish to the regular season the Hatters were hoping for, but a new season will commence at 7 p.m. Tuesday night as no. 2 seed Stetson hosts no. 7 seed Kennesaw State in the Atlantic Sun Tournament quarterfinals at the Edmunds Center.
The game will be broadcast live on ASun.TV and on WSBB AM1230 New Smyrna Beach, AM1490 DeLand, and online at myam1230.com.
The Hatters finished the regular season with a brilliant 24-6 record overall, 16-2 in the Atlantic Sun. Stetson is looking to bounce back from a one-point overtime loss to Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday.
"We are motivated, and we are ready," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I thought Kennesaw played us a lot tougher here than at their place. They are a team that has gotten better, so we are clearly going to have to be ready. It is a one game season right now, and we have to stay locked-in and focused on the team in front of us."
Stetson swept the season series from the Owls (6-23), earning a 98-75 win in Kennesaw on Jan. 18 and a 87-57 victory in DeLand on Feb. 13. Amber Porter averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks in the two games vs. KSU.
The winner of Tuesday's game will face the winner of the USC Upstate vs. ETSU quarterfinal game. The semifinals and championship game will be hosted by the highest remaining seed, which would be FGCU if the Eagles defeat Lipscomb in their quarterfinal match-up. The winner of the single-elimination tournament will earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
Stetson, the defending Atlantic Sun Conference champion, is 8-1 in its last nine A-Sun tournament games. The Hatters will be hosting a postseason game for the first time in 17 years.
"It's going to be fun," Bria said. "It's always nice to be on your home floor."
Tickets start at $7 for general admission seats ($5 for students with valid ID) and can be purchased at the Edmunds Center box office or online at GoHatters.com/tix.
Live stats, the Stetson women's basketball twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts will provide in-game updates as well.

A fire on Tuesday afternoon damaged the top unit of a three-story apartment building on the 2700 block of Broad Avenue.
The family that occupied the apartment had been in the process of moving out and wasn't there at the time of the blaze, according to Steve Michelone, assistant city fire chief.
Ron Smith, a passing worker from the Altoona Water Authority, alerted the family that occupied the second-floor apartment, after seeing flames and smoke from the street, so they could leave safely, Michelone said.

Altoona firefighters battle a structure fire at 2720 Broad Ave. on Tuesday afternoon.
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
City firefighters work inside a fire-torn building on Tuesday afternoon at 2720 Broad Ave.
The first-floor apartment was unoccupied, he said.
Firefighters arrived to find the third floor "fully involved," but contained the blaze there - although smoke and water might have damaged other areas of the building, according to Michelone.
The cause was undetermined and under investigation, Michelone said, about 45 minutes after the alarm.
James Walter was in the second-floor apartment with daughters, Layla, 3, and Samara, 2, when the authority worker came up and told him they had to leave, Walter said, as he sat glumly on the bottom step of a side-door stoop across the street.
"I grabbed the important things," Walter said. "The kids."
Smith, who was on duty for the authority, had been several blocks away and was going to turn onto 24th Street when he looked down Broad Avenue and saw smoke.
He might not have seen it, had not a PennDOT contractor recently done a radical - and controversial - pruning of trees on the avenue in preparation for paving, he said.
He drove to the building and saw smoke coming out the third-floor window.
He talked briefly to someone out front who was talking to the 911 center on a cellphone, then went in to see if anyone was in danger.
On the first floor, he yelled, knocked on doors and looked into rooms that were open, and saw no one.
Then he heard something from the second floor.
He went up and yelled some more, and someone - it was Walter - came out onto the landing.
He told Walter he needed to leave, that the building was on fire.
Walter went back in and shut the door, perhaps confused or disbelieving.
So Smith opened the apartment door himself, saw the kids and told Walter he needed to get out now.
At that point, Walter reacted and started down.
By that time, the smoke was pouring down the steps from the third floor.
"If he [Walter] would have waited any longer, it would have been pretty rough," he said.
Walter told Smith the people above him had moved out the day before, but Smith yelled for a while and tried to get up that set of steps, but it was too much.
Walter left behind plenty of possessions that are susceptible to water damage, he acknowledged.
New owners recently took possession of the building and told all the tenants they had to leave, because they were going to renovate, Walter said.
He was planning to leave in a week or two, he said.
He and the girls would be staying with family Tuesday evening, he said.
Michelone had no damage estimate.
Red Cross workers provided drinks to firefighters and wet towels to drape over their heads as they rested between shifts in the building.

Can anyone ID this piece of glass? It's clear, round, 2 1/8" diameter by 1 15/16" high, embossed (upside-down when the flat base is down) "PATD OCT 2ND 1866". Not fully solid, the base has a depression. Seems like a desk magnifier-- works well for viewing non-flat objects since they can occupy the space-- good for coins, bugs, etc. Alas, the USPTO still cannot search for anything but patent# and classification for old patents, and there are a couple hundred issued on that day.

Oceangoing cargo that isn't shipped in containers has been one of the leading sources of growth for the State Ports Authority.
That business is poised to increase even more with Grieg Star Shipping's decision to use the Port of Charleston for a new monthly service from South America.
The deal was announced Friday.
The service is being driven primarily by steel and wood product imports from Brazil, but there will also be some exporting options from South Carolina, said Grethe Hoyvik, vice president and general manager of Grieg Star.
"By adding Charleston on a monthly basis to our liner service, we can serve the demand of our customers along the East Coast and across the growing Southeast marketplace," Hoyvik said in a statement.
Ports that are part of the new service route include Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Praia Mole and Portocel.
Grieg Star will also offer import and export routes for Europe and Asia, in addition to South America, officials said.
The new service adds to the growth of noncontainerized "break-bulk" freight at the SPA. This expanding cargo category includes unwieldy or heavy items like power generators, wired coil, BMW vehicles and paper products.
The business also creates demand for more dockside warehouse space and use of the authority's Union Pier Terminal in downtown Charleston, ports chief Jim Newsome has said.
Earlier this month, the agency reported that its break-bulk tonnage has swelled during the first nine months of its fiscal year. The SPA's facilities in Charleston and Georgetown handled more than 1.2 million tons of noncontainerized goods from July to March, up 14.5 percent from the year-earlier period.
While the break-bulk business is growing, it makes up a small percentage of the SPA's revenue when stacked up against the agency's main container business.

The definition given is not accurate. Block-busting usually occurred in fringe neighborhoods, not in neighborhoods with rich white people. Aggressive realtors encouraged middle-class or poorer whites to sell because black families were moving in down the street or around the corner. The New York City metropolitan area has many good examples of block-busting. From Brooklyn to Monmouth County, N.J. From Newark to Parsippany, N. J.
Officials from XYZ Realty Company have been charged with illegal block-busting.

Individuals who reside in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living settings, typically take a variety of medications. A national study by Tobias and Sey found that nursing home residents take an average of 6.7 routinely scheduled medications, plus up to 2.6 medications given on an "as needed" basis. Twenty-seven percent of nursing facility residents take nine or more routinely scheduled medications.(1) In assisted living, a survey by Armstrong and colleagues found an average of 6.2 routinely scheduled medications per resident.(2)
One subset of medications provided to these residents is controlled substances. Controlled substances are medications that have high potential for abuse, such as tranquilizers and narcotic pain medications. Physicians, pharmacies, and other health care providers are subject to regulations of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that pertain to the prescribing, dispensing, storage, and other aspects of these controlled substances. When these medications are stolen, or diverted from the intended patient, or other regulations are violated, the DEA or state narcotic abuse agency may become involved.
Long-term care (LTC) facilities often use large quantities of these controlled substances, especially when residents who are near the end of life need these medications for control of severe pain. To ensure that these medications are not stolen or diverted, LTC facilities generally require the nursing staff to inventory all of the controlled medications stored in the facility at every change of shift (usually three times per day). Without such a policy, investigating discrepancies can be extremely difficult.
Rationale for Special Packaging of Medications
One of the clear expectations of agencies that oversee long-term care facilities is that medications will be provided to residents accurately and on-time. Because of the importance of medications in the care of these residents, errors in medication administration are taken seriously. Medication administration is one of the key issues examined by government inspectors or surveyors when these organizations are reviewed for quality.
Long-term care facilities are regulated by government agencies, and are held accountable for the quality of care provided to their residents. When the quality of care provided is below expected standards, these facilities may be penalized with fines or other sanctions, or in extreme cases, may have their operating license revoked.
There are three key reasons why long-term care facilities use specialized packaging for medications for their residents:
Seniors who live in the community and obtain their medications from a retail or mail order pharmacy will usually get their medications provided in a prescription bottle or vial containing a monthly supply of their maintenance medications. In long-term care settings, this traditional style of packaging presents a number of problems for the staff of the LTC facility. During the 1960s, pharmacists who served nursing homes developed a specialized form of medication packaging, known as the blister package or "bingo card." Most nursing homes now use this type of packaging. Some nursing homes, particularly those that are physically connected to a hospital and served by the hospital's pharmacy, may use a unit-dose drug distribution system that is used by the hospital, in lieu of the blister package.
One of the key principles of continuous quality improvement is that, to ensure a consistent quality in the outcome, process deviation should be minimized. For example, in the manufacture of a car, every step of the process should be described in detail and every person on every assemblyline should follow exactly the same process. The Institute of Medicine, in its report on improving the quality of health care, urged the adoption of this principle in health care organizations.(3)
With respect to medication administration, this principle says that the facility should have clearly established procedures on medication administration and every nurse should follow the same procedure in administering medication to every resident. Medication errors are minimized when the packaging and labeling of the medication is consistent for every resident, so that the nurse can follow the same process in each case. When medications are provided in different packaging styles, and with different labeling formats and styles from various pharmacies, the chances of error in medication administration are significantly increased.
With the traditional bottle and vial system, counting all the doses of every controlled substance three times per day becomes an unmanageable feat. The nurse must pour out a bottle containing up to 120 tablets of medication (a monthly supply of a medication taken four times daily) onto a pill counting tray, and count all the pills to verify that the quantity matches the amount recorded on the accountability form. In a typical nursing home with 120 beds, this could involve counting thousands of tablets several times daily.
Besides the enormous amount of time spent counting these pills, other problems arise. What happens if a nurse drops or spills some of the pills on the floor? If these pills are discarded, two nurses must sign on a form to document that the pills were wasted and discarded. If they are put back into the bottle, dirty pills could contaminate the entire bottle.
In addition, because of the time involved in counting pills, nurses may be tempted to skip the counting or eventually become less careful about the counting. In either case, the risk of controlled substances being stolen or diverted increases greatly. When a significant loss of controlled substances occurs, the facility may be investigated by a variety of agencies: the state licensing agency, the Board of Nursing, the DEA or other agencies may become involved.
Special packaging greatly enhances the efficiency of the nurse in handling and administering medication. Consistent use of the blister cards throughout the facility enables the nurse to become proficient in quickly preparing and administering medications to the resident. Accountability of controlled substances is easily accomplished because the nurse can tell how many doses of medication are present in a card with a single glance. There is no need to manipulate the dosage forms at all, and no risk of spilling or contaminating the medication.
Consequences of Eliminating Special Packaging
What would happen if nursing homes were required to implement the traditional bottle and vial system of medications? There would be an increase in medication errors for nursing home residents, and substantially increased time involvement of nursing staff in medication tracking and administration.
The impact on nursing staff time is especially significant. The United States already has a shortage of nurses, and this is particularly acute in long-term care. Forcing nurses to spend more time on "busywork" like counting controlled substances makes no economic sense. Either nursing facilities would have to hire more staff, increasing the cost of long-term care, or nurses would have to decrease the time they spend in patient care, reducing the quality of care provided to these vulnerable elders.
With the shortage of nursing staff, nurses have their pick of jobs and practice settings. If the working conditions in nursing homes become more undesirable because of the added administrative burden, nurses may choose to work in other sectors of health care. This could lead to a worsening of the nurse shortage in long-term care.
Resident's Right To Chose A Pharmacy
Although Medicare and Medicaid statutes include provisions that allow beneficiaries to exercise freedom of choice of providers that participate in the programs, these rights do have certain limitations. The issue of a nursing home resident's right to choose a pharmacy provider was addressed by the Health Care Financing Administration (now known as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) in the issuance of a final rule on September 26, 1991 (42 CFR Part 431, p. 48834). Here is an excerpt from that Federal Register:
Comment: Two commenters asked that we expand the right to choose an attending physician to include the right to choose other providers such as pharmacists.
Response: We have not amended the regulation to include a right of a resident to select other providers because we believe that the resident has already exercised freedom of choice in selecting the facility. The facility has the responsibility of maintaining appropriate methods of dispensing and administering drugs in the facility. With that responsibility goes the right to define certain methods and procedures with which the pharmacist must comply. These methods and procedures are essential to assuring that the patient is protected from medication errors. Therefore, the facility has the right to restrict the variety of drug labeling and packaging practices that can result from using multiple pharmacies in an effort to reduce or eliminate medication errors.
Because the nursing facility is responsible for the quality of care provided to its residents, the facility has the right to establish guidelines and standards for pharmacy providers that serve its residents. This includes setting standards for medication labeling and packaging. The facility must have the right to set these standards because of the facility's responsibility for accuracy of medication administration.
In cases where the resident is responsible for the cost of medications, and has a pharmacy benefit that provides coverage for part or all of the medication costs, the best solution at this time is to handle these situations on a case-by-case basis. The nursing facility social worker may be able to work out an arrangement with the insurance company or pharmacy benefit manager to reimburse the patient for the cost of medications obtained from the LTC pharmacy.

Application-specific programmable processors tailored for the requirements at hand are often at the center of today's embedded systems. Therefore, it is not surprising that considerable effort has been spent on constructing tools that assist in codesigning application-specific processors for embedded systems. It is desirable that such design toolsets support an automated design flow from application source code down to synthesizable processor description and optimized machine code. In this paper, such a toolset is described. The toolset is based on a customizable processor architecture template, which is VLIW-derived architecture paradigm called Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA). The toolset addresses some of the pressing shortcomings found in existing toolsets, such as lack of automated exploration of the "design space", limited run time retargetability of the design tools or restrictions in the customization of the target processors.

Pierce Johnson Racks Up the Punch-Outs at Riverview Park
Gleyber Torres ripped an RBI triple and a single and scored a run, Charcer Burks singled twice, drove-in a run, and stole three bases, Roney Alcala reached base three times on a single, a double, and a walk, and starting pitcher Pierce Johnson (hamstring rehab) struck out eight in five innings of work, leading the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Rockies in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #6 at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Working fast, throwing strikes, and mixing a 92-94 MPH fastball with a hard breaking-ball and a change-up, Johnson allowed one unearned run on four hits (two singles and two doubles) in his 5.0 IP (66 pitches), with no walks and eight strikeouts, 4/1 GO/FO, and a 78% strike percentage (70% is considered outstanding). I would think this will probably be Johnson's last EXST outing, and so I would not be surprised to see him get a start for AA Tennessee next Friday.
Veteran MLB RHP Joel Pineiro followed Johnson to the mound and worked four innings (64 pitches - 48 strikes), allowing two runs (both earned) on four hits (two singles, a double, and a triple), with no walks and four strikeouts and a WP. The 35-year old Pineiro last pitched in MLB in 2011, but he made a comeback in Liga de Beisbol Roberto Clemente (the Puerto Rican Winter League) post-2013 (and he started a game for Team Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Series in January). He did not receive an NRI to Spring Training with an MLB club, but the Cubs signed him to a minor league contract after the conclusion of Spring Training and assigned him to Extended Spring Training, where he is getting back into playing shape and being stretched-out as a starting pitcher. Like Pierce Johnson, Pineiro displayed excellent command today, throwing 75% of his pitches for strikes. His fastball velocity was only 87-88 MPH, but he got a ton of ground balls (8/0 GO/FO, plus two more grounders that were played into errors), and he displayed effective off-speed stuff (curve & change-up), too.
RHP Josh Conway (2013 elbow stress fracture) threw another 25-pitch "live" BP session prior to the game, facing Jorge Soler (hamstring rehab), Elliot Soto (serving a 50-game Drug of Abuse suspension), Eloy Jimenez, and Erick Castillo. Conway sailed through his "inning," but Soler grabbed his right upper hamstring after only two AB in his first round and left the cage. He did eventually return for one five-pitch round, however, facing 19-year old Venezuelan RHP Adbert Alzolay (the other pitcher who threw a "live" BP session prior to the game).

So, gang, did Renteria get overruled on Veras? Or was he just being supportive last night after the game. I guess he's not gonna say, "yeah, our guy really sucks."
It is nice to be able to say for once, that's a game the Cardinals should have won. Veras gave them the game, and they said, nah, keep it.

There should be a baseball naming convention called the "E.Jackson", or the "Edwin" when a team's pitcher gives up 3 or more runs early in the game (preferably innings 1-3) and then seemingly pitches ok for the next 3-4 innings, but then has to leave by the 6th due to too many pitches thrown.

disappointingly, it seems n.ramirez is being used exclusively out of the pen in iowa...was hoping they'd give him more of a shot at starting even if the pen seemed to be his eventual landing point. he's had 2 good outings and 2 bad ones for some overall bad numbers outside of the Ks.

Yeah, I rarely agree with Crunch, but there should be no criticism of Bryant yet. First, he has only had about 30 at bats, so let's hold off judgment just a bit. But even so, he is FIFTH in the entire Southern League in OPS at 1.053.
Nevetheless, billybuck's
Nevetheless, billybuck's comment is a reflection of the grief that will rain down on TheoCorp if the Cubs combine another awful season at the big league level with a large scale failure of the prospects. I think that with Castro and Rizzo both looking much better, and the overall talent of the prospects, that's an unlikely scenario. But it also isn't realistic to expect all the prospects to make it. So far, my bet is for Soler not making it. He seems brittle, which is weird for a guy built like a tank.

I don't know- I think, with the exception of 2 or 3 games, they have played decent. I'm very encouraged by Castro's defensive improvements. He seems to be proving me wrong, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

Agreed Ryno. Castro looked really sharp the last 4-5 games.
Anyone else think the piling on Edwin Jackson is a bit much? 6 IP and 4 earned runs isn't good....but it's not like he gave up 8 runs again. I'm not a fan, but he didn't pitch horribly yesterday.

CUBSTER: Gleyber Torres is an exceptional defensive shortstop. He makes the routine plays consistently, and I mentioned in a comment a couple of days ago that he made a leaping catch sideways (leaping to his right) in the "sim" game on Monday, and you have to be fairly athletic to get elevation while leaping sideways... and he just turned 17 in December!
He is very confident and poised for his age, and he doesn't show emotion or get flustered when he makes a mistake.
Offensively he appears (at this point) to be a top of the order type (#1 or #2 hitter), although he will need to get on base at a high rate to stay there as he eventually moves up the pipeline to the higher levels (AA, AAA. and MLB).
19-year old Kane County SS Carlos Penalver is a pretty good defender, too, so the Cubs have a couple of interesting teenaged shortstops in the system (although they are both probably several years away).

You can't make meth without Sudafed or some other brand of pseudoephedrine.
Some of our meth comes from Mexico, but I have read some things that say it's actually not the same drug, that it's less potent, because Mexico has started banning pseudoephedrine. I am shaky on this knowledge, as I cannot find my source to re-read.
Anyway, we already sell a prescription version of Crystal Meth. It's rarely prescribed. It's not an ADHD med. It's for obesity.
So, my question is, should we just ban Sudafed? Should we make it prescription only? Should we keep doing things the way we are doing? Should we deregulate Sudafed, because that's not working? Should we offer the prescription version of Crystal Meth in lieu of Sudafed, because it's safer?
How would you like to see the country handle the illegal and environmentally irresponsible manufacturing of Crystal Meth?

A rollover crash involving a semi shut down a portion of the Mitchell Interchange overnight.
The semi tractor-trailer rolled over on I-43 northbound/I-894 eastbound to I-94/US 41 southbound just after 1 a.m.
Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputies were able to break a window in the cab and free the driver. No injuries were reported in the crash.
The semi was carrying 45,000 pounds of liquid chocolate, but authorities said nothing was spilled in the crash.
The ramp remained closed until 7:10 a.m. It has now been reopened to traffic.

View our feature on Christina Dodd's Chains of Ice.As a wildlife observer in the untamed mountains, Genny Valente had no idea that a beast more fearsome than any leopard lurked in the forest-a man, one of the Chosen Ones, betrayed by his gift and tormented by his memories. John Powell fled his fate and his duty, yet in Genny he sees his one chance for redemption. He will stalk her, kidnap her, and love her as only a savage can.

- Are you prepared to live in a world populated by defiant, intelligent, beautiful virgins who know how to shoot like snipers, bold, muscular, driven men with dark souls, and a constant parade of exotic locales? A world that doesn't really exist?
- Can you give a glib excuse for buying more research books than any one person can ever read in a single lifetime?
- Are you prepared to have your family think you're crazy when they catch you talking to yourself … again?
- What is your favorite romantic adventure movie? And right there on the application, it says ROMANCING THE STONE.
That's right. The answer to that question is filled in. Why, you ask? Because Romancing the Stone is the quintessential romantic adventure movie, with not only a legendary jewel, a scarred villain, great sex, and a cynical anti-hero, but a heroine who's a romance writer. Does it get any better than that?
I love romantic adventure movies; they're fun, they're fast, they sparkle with dialogue and sexual tension—and they're surprisingly hard to find. Hollywood has always thought that romance and adventure are oxymorons, mostly because they believe that women are ill-suited to adventure. If they do include a woman, it's the woman's job to run during the chase scene, twist her ankle, fall down, make the hero rescue her, and thus put him into the hands of the villains. The reason there aren't more romantic adventures showcasing vibrant, intelligent, coordinated women is because men run the studios. There's a word to describe these men. The word sounds like oxymoron. But it isn't.
In no particular order, here are my favorite romantic adventure movies:
Indiana Jones And The Lost Ark: two words—young Harrison Ford. Yeah, that's more than two words. Picky, picky.
The Bourne Identity: I suppose it's not strictly a romance, but few writers or directors use a female character so well. Marie is drawn into the adventure because she's desperate for money and Bourne will give it to her—if she helps him. She doesn't realize what she's getting into, and once she does, she yells, is scared, wants to run away, but she doesn't run, she doesn't fall down and twist her ankle, she comes up with better plans than Bourne does, and in the end, she gets Matt Damon. Does it get any better than that? Of course, the second movie totally screws up the romance, but as a stand-alone movie, The Bourne Identity works big-time.
Last Of The Mohicans: Talk about smoky, glorious sexual tension between Cora and Hawkeye, teamed with some of the best adventure and most romantic lines ever delivered in a movie. Cora: "What are you looking at, sir?" Hawkeye: "I'm looking at you, miss." And Hawkeye to Cora when she's about to be captured by the Indians: "You be strong, you survive… You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you." Added bonus—the soundtrack is fabulous.
Star Wars (Episodes IV, V, VI): two words—really young Harrison Ford. Yeah, that's more than two words, too. I put these in my favorites list because in The Empire Strikes Back, as Han Solo is about to go into the carbon freeze and possibly die, or for sure get really stiff, he utters one of the best lines ever in romantic adventure. Princess Leia: "I love you." Han: (completely serious) "I know." Then in Return of the Jedi, when the rebels attack the bunker and it looks like Han's about to be captured, Leia shows him her hidden blaster, the one that will save his life. He smiles and says, "I love you," and she smiles back in perfect accord and says, "I know." That's when you know they're going to have a great relationship forever.
Charade, To Catch A Thief, Indiscreet: And more. Whether he's a hero or a thief, Cary Grant exudes charm, and because he was so popular, the scripts and the filming are the best.
Casablanca: I know, it doesn't end like a traditional romance, but the love story makes my heart ache, and I had to include it. According to the DVD extras, the last scene wasn't even written while they were filming, and Ingrid Bergman didn't know which man she was going to end up with until she filmed that final scene.
Oh, and of course, Romancing the Stone.
I drew my inspiration for Chains of Ice from my favorite romantic adventure movies. The story starts in New York City where for one magic summer, Genny Valente is offered a chance to escape her dull and onerous future and become a wildlife observer in the untamed Russian mountains. Little does she know that a beast lurks in the forest…a man, one of the Chosen, betrayed by his gift & tormented by memories. In Genny, John Powell sees his chance for redemption. He will stalk her, kidnap her, love her as only a savage can. When a new betrayal threatens, John must call on the powers he fears. Then only Genny can save him…if she dares…
Chains of Ice never stops to let you draw breath. And that's why I love romantic adventures. They leave you breathless.

When a female is flirtatious toward a male all night, such as at a bar, and takes him back to her place, only to reject the man, not having sex with him. The man should then pretend to fall asleep with the woman, waiting until she is totally unconcious. After she is incapacitated, the male should then procede to jack off on her face (Bukkake style), take a huge dump on her bathroom floor, and steal all the beer or other beverages out of her fridge- Then Bail. The woman would wake up to one hell of a scene, probably a dry and crusty one.
"Hey Nathan, This bitch cock-teased me all night the other day, took me back to hers, then rejected me!"
"Damn, so, what d'ya do about it?"

Time was purchased for the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station of Dubois, Idaho, when the U.S. Ag Department's request to close its own research site was denied by the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee earlier this month.
The Ag Research Service arm of USDA had surprised sheep folks across the country when it requested the closure of the station, suggested transferring some of the staff to its Clay Center, Neb., research facility.
Sheep rancher and state senator Jeff Siddoway, Clark County, Idaho, said the appropriations will remain in place to keep the station operating for another year. But there are no guarantees beyond that. "Now we need to add some validity to the station," he said. The research station is crucial to the success of larger range sheep operators, he said, but the focus of some of the research needs to change to meet the industry's changing needs.
While genetics and animal health have traditionally been the focus of most of the station's research, now the industry faces challenges including wildlife, predators and public perception.
"We've had bighorn sheep advocates talking to us that said they want to be involved in the research and we think the research station may be the place to do that. We hope to try and come up with solutions where we can both exist instead of battling scientists and getting nowhere and the forest service kicking sheep ranchers off their permits," Siddoway said. Tensions run high between sheep ranchers operating on mountainous federal lands and wildlife advocates who claim that domestic sheep are infecting bighorns with disease. While Siddoway and other ranchers say the research that has led to these claims was not scientific and was misconstrued, it has already been a catalyst to remove thousands of sheep from a number of federal grazing leases.
"I hope in five to ten years or less that we've come up with something to answer the bighorn issue - some ideas to satisfy the forest service and Bureau of Land Management so that instead of removing domestic sheep from these public lands we'll be able to implement those best management practices and we'll be able to co- exist with the bighorn."
Vaccine and treatment research for both domestic and bighorn sheep is one idea Siddoway hopes they'll address.
Siddoway said the research station's studies on sage grouse go back 60 years and amount to "truckloads."
The effects of fire as well as the interactions between the bird and livestock have been researched at length by the Idaho station and Siddoway hopes the studies can not only continue, but be of use to the industry as sheep ranchers continue to seek ways to operate in harmony with livestock.
"The research station has studied it for years and years, they've probably got more data than our game and fish," he said.
Wolves, grizzlies and water quality are more topics in need of study, Siddoway said.
Earlier this month Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, expressing disappointment that neither the USDA nor ARS notified Congress of their intent to close the Dubois center. In the letter, Simpson and other western Members of Congress expressed concern that neither agency has explained how research currently underway in Dubois would be continued.
"I'm pleased that we have avoided shutting down the Dubois center for now, but I recognize that this decision does not eliminate the potential threat of future closure of the U.S. Sheep Experimental Station," Simpson said. "I will continue to work with the USDA, University of Idaho, and members of the sheep industry to ensure the long-term viability of the sheep center at Dubois. It is critical that the sheep industry have a voice in future USDA decisions affecting their economic vitality."
Siddoway believes that if the station focuses its research on the more current topics of the day, it will gain support from many outside of the sheep industry. "Some of our environmentally-conscious friends will hopefully jump in and show their support. There are an awful lot of those groups that just want to make sure that things are done and one right and allow for diversity out there on public lands and those are the kinds of people we think we can partner with to support the experiment station." ❖

Innovage has issued a voluntarily recall of its Discovery Kids Animated Marine and Safari Lamps after it was determined that placement of internal wires near the circuit board can cause electrical short-circuiting and sparking, posing a fire and a burn hazard to consumers.
The company said it has received 11 reports of short circuiting, including three reports of lamps catching fire, which led to property damage. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves lamps that feature rotating films with marine or safari scenes. The words "Discovery Kids" are printed on the front top-left corner of the product.
The recalled products have both an 11-digit batch number that begins with either 584894 or 10128 and a model number of 1628626, 1642433, 1641522, 1641523, 1645729, or 1645853.
Batch numbers can be found imprinted in the plastic underneath the lamps and on the bottom of the packaging. Model numbers can be found on stickers placed underneath the lamps and on the bottom of the packaging near the bar code.
About 300,000 lamps were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, Bonton, JCPenney, Kohls, Office Max and Toys "R" Us stores nationwide as well as the online retailers Amazon, Ideeli, Macy's and Overstock from June 2010 through March 2012 for between $10 and $20.
Consumers were urged to immediately stop using the lamps and to contact Innovage at 888-232-1535 for instructions on how to obtain a full refund.

5 Obnoxious Things That Won't Go Away in 2013
#2. People Believing That Calling Someone a "Hater" Is an Insult
Somehow, over the last few years, the word "hater" has become an insult. That makes no sense to me. It's not like "rapist" or "murderer." There are plenty of times when hate makes sense. You can hate poverty, corruption, racism, war, Simon Cowell. There are all sorts of things that morality demands that we hate. You can't insult someone by divorcing hate from the subject of the hate. Don't believe me? Try this then: Call someone a "lover." Is that a good thing? What if they love pedophilia, kitten rape, cancer, and Simon Cowell? See what I mean? The mere act of loving or hating doesn't make someone good or bad. It's what it's applied to.
Pictured above: Hater.
So, no, you can't shut down a negative opinion just because it's hateful. Is it irrational? Is it based on ignorance? Is it not supported by fact? Then sure, shut that hater down for all of those reasons, but not just because he's "hating." Of course, that's a lot of work that people won't do, so 2013 will still have plenty of Justin Bieber fans making the informed argument, "Uh, shut up, hater."
#1. The NDAA Will Remain, as Liberals Continue to Sleep on the Job
Hey, guess what? Remember a few months ago when I wrote an article explaining that despite the topic barely being covered by the media, we live in a country where the government can now lock you up indefinitely with no legal counsel and no right to an attorney based on some poorly defined "suspicion" of abetting terrorism? No? Here, please read it now. It's true: President Obama paid some lip service to the constitutionality of such a bill and then signed it, fighting any provisions that would in any way limit the power of the executive office. Neat trick, huh?
"For my next trick, I'll shrink the First Amendment to about this size while still being praised by hippies."
Katherine Forrest, United States District Court judge for the Southern District of New York, issued an order enjoining enforcement of the NDAA (before having her order stayed by a higher judicial panel), because this bill did indeed go further in expanding executive power than previous bills. Furthermore, the bill defined abetting terrorism so poorly that the journalists petitioning its constitutionality had a valid belief that their mere journalistic actions could qualify as assisting terrorists. Indeed, in court, the government attorneys could not allay that concern and were unable to provide specifics as to what actions would trigger indefinite imprisonment.
"Wait, we're asking for the power to completely suspend due process, and you have the nerve to ask us for specifics?"
Not to fear, my more liberal friends claimed. Don't you get it? Obama is just trying to get re-elected. Republicans will paint him as soft on terrorism if he doesn't sign it. Some offered, duh, he's just setting it up nice and sweet for the Supreme Court to rule it unconstitutional. Somehow, even though the Obama administration folded (or waffled?) like a cheap suit over the First Amendment issues on the so-called Ground Zero mosque, my liberal friends assured me that no black man who didn't seem to hate women or gays could ever abide anything as wildly unconstitutional as the NDAA. None of those arguments made sense to me. Mostly because they were totally wrong.
The Obama administration has taken no action to amend the NDAA for 2013 -- oh, except for threatening to veto any bill that altered the executive authority he had under the 2012 bill. There was the Feinstein/Lee amendment, created to clarify that the NDAA could not remove an American citizen's right to due process, but you know what? That amendment was removed without explanation and replaced with language that makes no one's rights clear. Last month, the bill passed the Senate by an overwhelming margin.
So come 2013, we will have the NDAA again. None of the abuses to our due process have been remedied. And do you know the worst part? No one cares. You can find testimonials on YouTube, like this one from David Seaman, but the subject is ignored by mainstream media, and most people still don't believe that a "liberal" like Obama could sign such a bill. All my liberal friends were correctly up in arms when Bush pursued such wrong-headed measures, but it seems like as long as you're not pushing church-based legislation (like banning abortion and gay rights), a whole bunch of liberals don't seem motivated to keep watch over our Constitution. The apologists will come forth in the comments, and before they explain why our president's hands were tied on this one, I hope they read the first NDAA column and the court decision linked above. Their arguments, which were overly optimistic and flimsy, are even more tenuous now. It's not that I want to be right. I just want to remove some of the calming rationalizations that enable the present liberal apathy, because this apathy means that 2013 and beyond will see no shortage of abuses to our basic freedoms.
