Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Brandon Watson (signed yesterday after getting released by the White Sox earlier in the week) doubled, tripled, and collected two RBI, Fernando Perez (just demoted from big league camp) singled, doubled, scored a run, and knocked-in two others, and Blake Lalli tripled and singled, scored a run, and drove-in another, helping the Iowa Cubs mount a fierce five-run 8th inning rally to close a 6-0 deficit to just one run, but Watson was left stranded at 3rd when Scott Moore and Matt Spencer struck out (Moore looking and Spencer swinging) and Ty Wright popped out to RF, and the Salt Lake Bees (Angels AAA affiliate) hung-on to edge the I-Cubs 6-5 on Field #3, while over on Field #2, Cubs LHRP Sean Marshall (sent to Minor League Camp to get work) threw a 13-pitch 1-2-3 1st inning (F-9, 5-3, F-9), Ryan Flaherty and Rebel Ridling hammered solo home runs (Flaherty's a towering 450-foot job over the "Green Monster" Batter's Eye in dead CF), and Nate Samson reached base three times (a triple, a single, and a walk) and drove-in two runs, leading the Tennessee Smokies to a 4-1 nine-inning victory over the Arkansas Travelers (Angels AA affiliate) on Field #2 (although the game was extended an extra half-inning to allow LHP Chris Siegfried to pitch his pre-scheduled inning--bumped to extra innings when Sean Marshall arrived, and the Travelers scored four runs in the top of the 10th), in Cactus League Minor League action at Fitch Park this afternoon
LHP Brooks Raley and RHP Rob Whitenack followed Marshall to the mound on Field #2, and both had impressive three-inning outings.
After a work-out on Field #4, several players from the Boise/Mesa (Extended Spring Training) squad (SS Wes Darvill—just demoted to Boise/Mesa from Peoria, and outfielders Blair Springfield, Dong-Yub Kim, Xavier Batista, and Oliver Zapata) saw some late game action with Tennessee or Iowa. (Players from the Boise/Mesa Extended Spring Training group are used as late inning replacements in Minor League Spring Training games).

Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
I was at Friday's game against Seattle, and am proud to say I was able to get a small contingent of fans to yell, in the "Let's go Red Sox" style chant, "Let's go Rebel!" He got a walk, and our little section cheered loudly.
It's the little things that count in spring training.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Brandon Watson. Anything there? Burgess looking better I'm guessing. Flaherty could be a huge benefit if he breaks out. Raley DHing? Curious.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Thanks AZ Phil.
Does Polin Trinidad look like a future big leaguer? Just a LOOGY or more than that?
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Looks like a real over load of outfielders on the Iowa squad. Very interesting that they added Watson to the mix even though I wouldnt think he is anything but a roster fill.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Nyjer Morgan now a Brewer. Lenny Dykstra's kid (Cutter) goes to nats.
Carlos Gomez the righty platoon to Morgan's lefty-ness.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
The Brewers continue to purge their system of prospects. Cutter Dykstra, b-bye.
So long Carlos Slim
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Although I won't miss him much, I have to say--Damn. They couldn't get even a little bit of cash back for him last year when some team needed a swing man or some rotation filler?
I can't say I really see why we're better off with three lefties or Mateo in the pen than with Silva until somebody offers us $1 mill for him.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
I couldn't agree more, Phil. As a manager myself I've learned with some people you can't be too direct. The art is learning who those people are in your work group.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Hendry releases Silva while ripping him to the press...
"You're looking at a guy who had a 14-something ERA from July 11 on, and came to camp with the notion that he already had a spot in the rotation."
Hendry is now Fox News, using misleading information to make his case. Let's look at the facts: from July 11 on, Silva pitched in only 5 games for a total of 12 2/3rd ip. He missed most of the 2nd half with his heart condition. He had two bad starts in a row, getting knocked out after 1 inning each time. Then he threw 5 innings and allowed 1 run. Then 5 innings allowing 2 runs. Then he missed over a month with the heart problem. He returned to make 1 start in September and got shelled (again, after 5 weeks off). Then they didn't let him make another appearance. This is after he was 9-2 with a 2.96 ERA before July 11th.
Bottom line, Silva was one of our best pitchers last season. It was a shock, but he had big league success in the past and let's not forget, Hendry tried to sign him as a free agent, so at one point Hendry liked the guy. Silva came to camp as a 9 year MLB vet with a large contract and a lot of success last season. Somehow he has a bad spring and absolutely must be jettisoned. It makes little sense. Garza has had a bad spring, Russell has had a bad spring, Koyie Hill has set a record for the worst spring in recent memory. All make the team (and Garza rightly so, spring training stats don't mean crap). But if they're going to point to Silva's spring training stats and say he had an awful spring, then Russell and and Hill shouldn't make the team either.
I'm not arguing that Silva is/will be a stud. He was a pleasant surprise last year when we all expected crap and a quick release. I'm just unhappy with their manipulating of facts and using whatever supports their goals. Kenny Williams and Ozzie Guillen like to do that crap, smear jobs on players they want gone, and after they're gone. It's very low behavior and we deserve better than that, from both teams.
If they wanted roster spots for young pitchers they should have said that. Not all this crap.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Carlos Silva and Larry Rothschild got along pretty well last year, and so I wouldn't be surprised if Silva ends up signing a minor league contract with the Yankees and do what the Cubs wanted him to do, which is go to AAA and be a starting pitcher until such time as the big club might need him.
Az Phil: Yes Network says No... to Yanks having interest in Silva
FWIW, I read quotes from Hendry today where he said that none of the other 29 MLB teams were interested in Silva even though the Cubs were asking for no players back and were willing to pick up the
lion's Silva-sized share of his 2011 salary.
We shall see.
Update: Turns out it was a Levine column and the source was unidentified:
The Cubs tried all spring to trade Silva, but didn't get any interest from any of the other 29 major league teams. According to a major league source, the Cubs let it be known that they would be willing to eat a large portion of Silva's $11.5 million 2011 salary. The source also said the Cubs were not asking for any players in return. However, there were still no takers.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Silva did show up to camp in "record shape" despite that he had heart problems. He seems like a guy who has long since mailed it in and expects to be treated like he cares. I agree they should have kept him for a while to try to trade him, but the guy is a heartless dipshit. Good luck to you, Silva, you'll need it
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
It's bad form to slam the guy in the press. It seems desperate, like Hendry is worried about losing his job some time in the next 10 years. eyeroll Because, let's face it, this whole Silva mess is a consequence of the Milton Bradley mess.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Technically, the Silva mess, like the Bradley mess, is a consequence of the Fukudome mess. In 2008, the Cubs signed a right fielder for a lot of money for four years. They quickly discovered that their new right fielder couldn't hit, and the following winter they went after Bradley to play the same position.
Sometimes I wish Soriano and Fukudome were jerks and were willing to criticize the organization that fattens their wallets.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
If you read the entire interview, he was referring to Silva's performance since July of last year, including spring training.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Bottom line, Silva was one of our best pitchers last season. It was a shock, but he had big league success in the past...
He last had "big league success" in 2005. His performance last year is basically an aberration, and the odds that he would have repeated his first-half from last year, after the crap he was throwing for the majority of the Spring, are very long.
Cash is gonna have lumps, but his upside is going to be much higher and since the team is hard-pressed to finish .500, I say why not allow these "future anchors" to get experience now?
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Hard to believe Case Coleman and Jay Jackson aren't just as likely to succeed as Silva, too. Just wish Hendry had figured out some way to save some money, perhaps by jettisoning the guy last year some time.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
The chances of Coleman or Jackson having a 4.22 ERA (or a 4.19 ERA in the AL which is apparently "unsuccessful" now) with any significant amount of innings is pretty damned small. Coleman had a xFIP of 5.13 and a SIERA of 5.28 last year, expect more of the same this year.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
And what were the chances of Silvia having a 4.22 ERA this year in a significant amount of innings? I'm saying I don't think they were any better. I'm not saying I think either Coleman or Jackson is likely to produce the numbers Silva did last year, but I don't think Silva had much chance of doing that either.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Silva's xFIP last year was 3.90 and his SIERA was 3.91, he wasn't doing it with smoke and mirrors. So to answer your question, his chances were significantly greater than anyone else the Cubs have waiting in the wings, with the possible exception of McNutt and Carpenter.
Look at the stats, E-Man posted. He did what he did last year four times in a seven year career.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
According to MLB Trade Rumors, Silva, known as an innings eater at the time of the signing, has provided a 5.82 ERA over 296 2/3 frames over the last three years.
Are you saying that other than McNutt or Carpenter, no other young pitcher can match this, or may be worthy of given a shot to do so?
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Are we just random grabbing samples to make an argument now? Last year - not three years ago, he was our best starter for the first half of the season.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
Nope. Really, my point is that there is not much to be gained in pitching Silva, compared to hindering another prospect's potential progress at the MLB level. They both will be about "equal" perhaps, but personally I would rather give the innings to prospects since the team is not going anywhere.
And, no one lining up right now to put him on their rosters.
Finally, yes we all know he went 8-0 for the first time in his career, but again, the "first half of last year" for Silva was an extreme aberration. His lifetime numbers, and noting the way he came into camp and on-the-mound performance, does not bode well for him coming anywhere close to this in 2011. I'd rather see a prospect fail, than Fat-Boy Slim, as would most.
Guess I am not reaching you on this one. Meh...
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
The problem is that our "prospects" who are going to be failing are not as good as Carlos Silva. They're not really prospects.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
woo...wgn game today...
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
I do like this comment from Quade: "If you're not willing to give [respect], you're not going to get it," Quade said, adding, "whether he was upset at Riggs or whatever, the one thing that everybody needs to know, this was my call. This wasn't Jim Hendry's. If you want to be irritated with somebody, this is on me."
Nice to see a manager take responsibility like that.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
it should be his call...if hendry is making these kinds of calls they don't have a manager, they have a clubhouse tool that babysits the GM's desires.
it's something that's discussed, of course, when you're talking about cutting someone with a contract...especially one that big.
Re: Marshall Plan Works to Perfection at Fitch
I'm starting to like Quade more and more.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

I'm a pretty avid reader of the site, especially the stick tech. Here are some of the heads I've done.
Hope you like them.

Three Good Tips
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the awesome site you have. I have probably read every article here twice. Now for the tips:
1: Instead of using ball and knife, use a medium sized face towel and multiple knives/pencils/pens or whatever you regularly use. You can form the shape of your pocket easily this way, and it solves the problem I used to get all the time with ball and knife where the base of pocket is only the size of the bottom of the ball.
2: Stretching out mesh is the most important part of stringing. If you don't stretch your mesh enough, you will have no pocket.
3. If you dye often, set up a space in your basement or whatever where you can dye without worrying about making a mess. Get a portable electric burner so you don't have to make trips back and forth to the stove. Get your own pot to dye in, and always have containers ready to save the dye in, so you don't constantly need new dye.
- Charlie
Pinching a head
I was just reading the section on pinching your heads and there's another way to pinch your head without using the stove or places where you might melt the plastic. What I do is I prepare the head by using strings or whatever I have to pinch the head. Then I place it in boiling hot water. Usually I just put the water in the sink then leave it for an hour. Then you take it out and dry it off and it's pinched. - Peter

Who will be the Lowcountry's Largest Loser? Over the next three months, 12 local residents who are struggling with weight problems will see who has the most success slimming down as part of the Lowcountry's Largest Loser contest, collaboration between Trident Health, Coastal Carolina Bariatric Center, Pivotal Fitness and WCBD-TV, Channel 2. All 12 contestants are receiving support from Summerville Medical Center dietician Lauri Watson and the staff of Coastal Carolina Bariatric Center, where weigh-ins will be held each week. Plus, Pivotal Fitness is providing each contestant with one personal trainer session per week, and Channel 2 is posting updates on air and online. "The contest is a really fantastic way to raise awareness of the effect obesity is having in our community, and particularly because it personifies it," says Dr. Neil McDevitt with Coastal Carolina Bariatric. "All of these people have personal stories about how they have become obese and why they want to get healthy." Located on the Summerville Medical Center campus, Coastal Carolina Bariatric specializes in weight-loss surgery, yet requires that patients also commit to significant long-term changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle beforehand. In some cases, patients achieve early success with those changes and opt to lose the weight without surgery. The Lowcountry's Largest Loser contest focuses on diet and exercise and does not involve surgery. Each week, the contestant who loses the least percentage of body weight will be eliminated from winning the grand prize. Yet everyone will continue to receive weight-loss support until the contest ends May 20. At that point, the winner will receive a $1,500 Carnival Cruise gift card and a free year's membership to Pivotal Fitness. Organizers say the contest inspires a feeling of camaraderie among the contestants, in spite of the big-ticket prizes. "They are competing against each other, but at the same time you can tell they are really there to help each other as well," says Bob Behanian, Trident Health public relations and marketing director. Trident Health and Channel 2 launched the first Lowcountry's Largest Loser Contest in 2011. For 2013, they received several hundred entries from the community with many compelling stories. In the end, they chose the following contestants: Lewis Doscher, Daniel Berry, Jane Barcott, Justin Seagle, Lisa Huff, Brandy Gaskins, Shawn Matticks, Kirk Giles, Brandy Gibson, Brenda Connolly, Nikki Bowie and BJ Strickland. Strickland, who lives in Summerville, weighed 246 pounds when she submitted her entry form. She says she "ballooned up" after giving birth to two children and undergoing several operations, including brain surgery. Every time she got back to the gym, she seemed to suffer a setback, including a torn rotator cup and an ankle injury that required a ligament replacement. More than anything else, she hopes the contest will help her get healthy and lose weight. "I'm much more focused on that than the cruise part of it." The substitute preschool teacher also has some upcoming events to motivate her, including a family trip to Disney World, which she would like to enjoy without worrying whether she can fit comfortably on the rides, and her 20-year high school reunion in Arkansas. "I was a cheerleader in high school, on the tennis team, and I played softball," she says. "I definitely did not look like this in high school." To contact Coastal Carolina Bariatric Center, please call 843-875-8994.

Learn how to do the "Mama Sway" while applying your mascara!! LoL. As a mother of a newborn that absolutely LOVES to be held, I know how hard it is to try to get things done. Putting yourself together is one area where mamas slack off, because it's just too hard. I'm a firm believer that in order to feel better about yourself, you must get your makeup on!! This is not an easy task with a baby! Oh, it's not enough that my baby is being held, he has to be held by me! So, I throw him in a carrier, usually a wrap or a ring sling, and start swaying. He loves the closeness of mama, he loves the motion, and I'm able to get ready!! When baby is happy, everyone is happy! Next on the agenda? Learning how to apply eyeliner while doing the sway! YIKES! -Jaymi

Make that pretty much the coolest unexpected competitor imaginable.
While shooting hoops in Manhattan's Chinatown, the kids were reportedly joined by Andrew Garfield, 29 – and the surprise visitor appeared to come straight from filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – he was still in costume.
One video shows the apparent Garfield dribbling and shooting, while another clip shows him high-fiving with the boys, patting one of them on the back and then heading back to wherever he was going – just as a spectator yells, "Andrew Garfield?"
Even though the man in disguise appeared to walk away without too much of a commotion, he continued to be followed by cameras from afar and he walked – still in costume – with a barely recognizable woman, who reports list as Garfield's girlfriend, Emma Stone, trailing behind with their dog, down the busy, damp streets of N.Y.C.
Andrew, if that's really you, bravo!

JOHNSTOWN - The Altoona Housing Authority is denying that it discriminated against a black female tenant more than three years ago when it initiated an eviction proceeding under its "One Strike Policy" that, it is charged by the federal government, denied her a due process hearing.
The authority will file an answer in the next few weeks to the charges that it handled eviction cases differently for several white residents than it did for the black tenant, authority attorney David P. Andrews said.
"The position of the authority is that it has complied with all applicable federal laws and regulations," he said.
The former tenant named in the lawsuit is Freda Neely, a retired special education teacher from New York City, who resides with her son and grandson in Altoona.
Neely moved from New York City because of health concerns and as a way to get away from the fast-paced city life, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court. She also felt it would give her son and grandson a "calmer atmosphere than what is offered in a major city."
The federal government claims the authority violated the federal Fair Housing Act and has asked the court to stop the Housing Authority from discriminating against individuals because of race. It also asks that steps be taken to prevent a recurrence of Neely's case and suggests that money damages may be appropriate.
Neely's problems began on Aug. 19, 2009, according to the lawsuit.
Neely became embroiled in a verbal argument with a male neighbor after approaching him and stating she wanted to talk to his girlfriend. She claimed the girlfriend was spreading false rumors about her.
City police issued Neely a citation for disorderly conduct, a summary charge that was eventually overturned on appeal to the Blair County Court of Common Pleas.
The authority exercised its "One Strike Policy" in seeking Neely's eviction from her Fairview Hills apartment, the government claims.
Under the policy, a public housing authority, at its discretion, may forego a grievance hearing if there is "any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises of other residents or employees of the public housing authority," it was stated.
The government then cited four instances in which white tenants, their families or boyfriends, caused disturbances. In each case, the authority did not invoke the policy in handling the situations, although eviction proceedings occurred in some of the cases.
The authority did not use the policy against a person referred to as "Tenant A," despite several instances in which she was intoxicated and screaming outside her apartment. She pleaded guilty to public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
The One Strike Policy was not invoked and no eviction was sought involving "Tenant B," whose son tried to choke the child of another tenant. Tenant B, her boyfriend and brother then allegedly threatened the young victim's parents. Police issued no citations in the case.
Similar situations occurred with Tenants C and D, the government said.
Neely and the authority agreed to a consent order on May 12, 2011, in which she agreed to vacate her Fairview Hills home.
Neely was under the impression that the Housing Authority would provide her with a Section 8 voucher, allowing her to rent an approved dwelling, but that was not part of the consent order, the lawsuit stated.
Because of the eviction, Neely is not eligible for a voucher.
The authority is also the defendant in a lawsuit that began two years ago when it attempted to cut off Section 8 vouchers for two city families - Ashley Thompson, and Deborah and David Sills - because they allegedly allowed unauthorized individuals to stay in their homes.
The families challenged the due process hearings that they received, noting that their cases were unfairly resolved based on facts that were not presented during the hearings.
That lawsuit is stalled as U.S. District Court Judge Kim Gibson attempts to determine if the case should become a class action lawsuit involving many more former authority clients than just the two local families.

Yeast Style Guide
STYLE: Southern English Brown
Aroma: Malty-sweet, often with a rich, caramel or toffee-like character. Moderately fruity, often with notes of dark fruits such as plums and/or raisins. Very low to no hop aroma. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Light to dark brown, and can be almost black. Nearly opaque, although should be relatively clear if visible. Low to moderate off-white to tan head.
Flavor: Deep, caramel-like malty sweetness on the palate and lasting into the finish. May have a moderate dark fruit complexity. Low hop bitterness. Hop flavor is low to non-existent. Little or no perceivable roasty or bitter black malt flavor. Moderately sweet finish with a smooth, malty aftertaste. Low to no diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, but residual sweetness may give a heavier impression. Low to moderately low carbonation. Overall Impression: A luscious, malt-oriented brown ale, with a caramel, dark fruit complexity of malt flavor. May seem somewhat like a smaller version of a sweet stout or a sweet version of a dark mild. History: English brown ales are generally split into sub-styles along geographic lines. Southern English (or "London-style") brown ales are darker, sweeter, and lower gravity than their Northern cousins.
Comments: Increasingly rare. Some consider it a bottled version of dark mild.
Ingredients: English pale ale malt as a base with a healthy proportion of darker caramel malts and often some roasted malts. Moderate to high carbonate water would appropriately balance the dark malt acidity. English hop varieties are most authentic, though with low flavor and bitterness almost any type could be used.
Vital Statistics:
IBUs: 12 - 20
Commercial Examples: Mann's Brown Ale (bottled, but not available in the US), Tolly Cobbold Cobnut Nut Brown Ale 1 1C. Northern English Brown Ale Aroma: Light, sweet malt aroma with toffee, nutty and/or caramel notes. A light but appealing fresh hop aroma (UK varieties) may also be noticed. A light fruity ester aroma may be evident in these beers, but should not dominate. Very low to no diacetyl. Appearance: Dark amber to reddish-brown color. Clear. Low to moderate off-white to light tan head. Flavor: Gentle to moderate malt sweetness, with a nutty, lightly caramelly character and a medium-dry to dry finish. Malt may also have a toasted, biscuity, or toffee-like character. Medium to mediumlow bitterness. Malt-hop balance is nearly even, with hop flavor low to none (UK varieties). Some fruity esters can be present; low diacetyl (especially butterscotch) is optional but acceptable. Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Medium to medium-high carbonation. Overall Impression: Drier and more hop-oriented that southern English brown ale, with a nutty character rather than caramel. History/Comments: English brown ales are generally split into substyles along geographic lines. Ingredients: English mild ale or pale ale malt base with caramel malts. May also have small amounts darker malts (e.g., chocolate) to provide 12 color and the nutty character. English hop varieties are most authentic. Moderate carbonate water.

Granny Apple Tspice Spinach Wrap Hors d'oeuvres
Courtesy of Gloria Cipri-Kemer | Serves 12
1 large 12-inch spinach tortilla wrap
4 tablespoons softened cream cheese
1 tablespoon Granny Apple tea spice* (or any apple-flavored green tea)
One small Roma tomato, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber
1/4 cup of chopped olives
1-1/2 cups of chopped spring greens
Blend softened cream cheese with Granny Apple tea spice. Spread
cream cheese mixture generously over spinach wrap. Mix chopped tomato,
cucumber and olives in a bowl, then sprinkle over cream cheese. Add
chopped spring greens.
Tightly roll tortilla wrap. Cut into 1-inch slices and insert toothpick.
2 tablespoons loose-leaf Jasmine green tea* (or any jasmine blend)
1-1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
1/4 cup raw, unsalted cashews
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
6 large cloves of garlic, roasted
1-1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Hydrate green tea by pouring 170-degree water over leaves to just cover. Allow the water to absorb 15 minutes. To roast garlic, drizzled cloves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast for 30 minutes. Mix tea, sun-dried tomatoes, cashews, Parmesan cheese and garlic in blender, puree well. Add oil in a fine stream as the blender is pureeing, and scrape down sides making sure the mixture is a smooth paste. Mix in balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss over cooked pasta; may be served warm or cool as pasta salad.
1-1/2 cups of melted dark chocolate discs specifically for candy-making
1-1/2 teaspoons Chocolate Mint tea spice* (or any chocolate mint black tea)
1/2 teaspoon crushed peppermints
Blend Chocolate Mint tea spice with melted chocolate. Place crushed peppermint into a candy mold. Pour chocolate mixture into mold, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Remove from mold and serve.
Although they come in countless flavors, most teas are actually derived from the same source: the Camellia sinensis plant, cultivated across the world in tropical and subtropical regions.
Here are some of Gloria Cipri-Kremer's favorites:
White tea: The purest and least processed of all teas, this loose-leaf variety has very little caffeine and brews to a light color and flavor.
Green tea: The most popular type of tea that many drinkers use to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood-sugar levels. It is often scented with flowers or mixed with fruits to create a range of flavors.
Black tea: Most of us grew up dipping tea bags of black tea into our cups or enjoying it over ice.
Herbal tea: Although it has the "tea" moniker, this concoction does not contain any leaves from the Camellia plant family. Herbal teas are often infused with pure flowers and fruits. They are typically caffeine-free and most are rich in vitamin C.
Rooibos tea: Also called red tea, rooibus is made from a South African red bush. This premium tea is a healthy source of vitamins and minerals; it also contains antioxidants. Naturally caffeine free, Rooibos teas help promote digestion and are a healthy source of vitamins and minerals.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Senior offensive tackle Chima Okoli, who likely will be among Penn State's best leaders and spokesmen this season, was asked earlier this week to frame the Nittany Lions' "realistic" goals in light of their total dropoff from the national radar in 2010.
He didn't hesitate.
"Our goals are the Big Ten championship and the national championship," he said. "It's been that way since Day 1."
Never mind that the Lions finished 7-6 last year and their best win was against Northwestern -- and they had to come from 21-0 down to do it.
Never mind that they were blown out of four games (Alabama, Iowa, Ohio State, Illinois), lost twice at home to traditionally lesser programs (Illinois and Michigan State) and laid an egg against Florida in the Outback Bowl.
Never mind that they've snuck into just one of the two preseason polls -- the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll, which put them at No. 25, probably as a courtesy to Joe Paterno.
And never mind that they've not won a national title since 1986 and have really only fielded one team, in 1994, that was national-championship worthy in the 25 years between that magical night in Tempe and this morning.
Despite a dropoff that includes four losses or more a startling eight times in the last 11 seasons, despite starting a sophomore quarterback who publicly threatened to leave the team after its last game, despite having an 84-year-old head coach who for the third time in the last five years needs assistance to walk and probably will be -- or should be -- in the press box today, this team still believes it can catch the massive shadow it cast long, long ago.
"Sky's the limit," defensive end Eric Latimore said. "We have all the tools."
Even though they've been mired in it more often than not since 1997, Okoli said the Lions won't settle for "mediocrity," and Latimore agreed, repeating the goals of Big Ten and national titles.
JoePa himself hasn't quite taken that stand, but he did allow, "We're optimistic that we've made great progress."
Almost none of that will be discernible today against an Indiana State team that drew less than 35,000 fans last year -- for its entire home schedule.
But the glorified scrimmage will allow Penn State an opportunity to hit someone else, to begin desperately needed defensive improvement through turnover creation, to get the first gauge of the quarterback competition, to see how much the kicking game misses temporarily suspended Anthony Fera and to work out the kinks for when the season really starts next week against Alabama.
And whether there should be any optimism whatsoever the Lions can stay on the same field -- even their own field -- with the Crimson Tide.
The Lions clearly believe there is and as JoePa, set for his 62nd season opener, said, "We think we're a lot better football team right now than we were at this time last year. And hopefully we can go out and show that to people."
The most optimistic of predictions have the Lions at 9-3 this year with many of the pundits weighing in at 8-4 or 7-5.
The players believe they'll be a lot better, and maybe they will. That belief, after a five-year malaise, translated into a great year in 2005, when the Lions finished 11-1 and lost only once, in the last second at Michigan.
Could this season bring that strong of a comeback?
Most of us don't believe, but then again, we're not the ones who must.

We almost always get the same advice from emergency preparedness experts when epic, life-threatening weather is headed our way: Stay home.
It's another way that Western New York is different from the rest of the world, where flooding, mudslides, wildfires, hurricanes and tornadoes often force people to decide whether to stay where they are and hope for the best or flee for safety.
The footage from Atlantic City, Hoboken, Staten Island and other familiar places last week in the wake of Superstorm Sandy was a heartbreaking reminder that failing to heed weather predictions can have devastating consequences.
That's why I struggle with our propensity to give a communal shrug to weather warnings, the fact that we display a kind of bravado that borders on the reckless in the name of appearing to not be concerned by what could be coming.
Why? Is it a sign of weakness to be ready for a storm? Are a working flashlight and an extra loaf of bread admissions of cowardice or failure?
It's the same characteristic that manifests itself on the roads every year. The first time the temperature drops and a little snow falls, people begin complaining about drivers who have the temerity to go slower on the way to work in the morning. Sure, because who wants to be a little safer when road conditions are potentially hazardous?
Granted, the dire warnings can sometimes be a bit much. A three- to four-minute report leading the television news at 6 and 11 p.m. might needlessly alarm viewers. But in defense of my broadcasting friends, they know that people are talking about the weather and want to know the latest, so it makes sense to lead with what will keep viewers interested.
The alternative is to downplay the approaching conditions or, even worse, to fail to recognize that something dramatic and life-altering could be on the way and be accused of not letting viewers know that they are about to experience a few days that they will be talking about for the rest of their lives. (See Storms, October Surprise, 2006).
Weather forecasting is not an exact science, even though it's a lot more precise than it was 30 or 40 years ago. But if you watch the Weather Channel as often as I do – What can I say? I like the "Local on the 8s" music – you know that forecasters are basing their predictions on the best available information and on years of experience. And when a forecaster says that something bad is coming, it probably is.
If it misses us or isn't nearly what we feared, that's a good thing. Maybe that gives the kids an unnecessary day off from school or we end up keeping a blanket in the car that we'll never have to use. Isn't that better than scoffing at the prediction that comes true and then hoping that the store doesn't run out of generators before you get there?
We often hear references to "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" when it comes to weather predictions that don't come to fruition. The implication is that forecasters keep telling us something bad is going to happen, and because it so often doesn't, we start to ignore them. But it's a flawed analogy. The boy in the story is trying to trick people; the meteorologists are trying to help us.
There is one part of that fable worth remembering: In the end, after all the warnings that didn't come true, when something bad eventually happens, everyone wishes they had listened.

BUCYRUS - In the finals of the 4x100 at the Division III district meet in Bucyrus, Seneca East's Kirsten Camp got the baton for her anchor leg in a battle for second and third. Camp took off and soon the battle was for first.
As she approached the finish line with Colonel Crawford's Sam Mutchler, the difference between first and second came down to one word.
"Lean," said Camp. "Try and get as close as I can as possible."

Mohawk's Ali Konkle races in the 300 hurdles at the Division III district track meet Saturday in Bucyrus.
It worked.
Camp crossed the line one-hundredth of a second ahead of Mutchler to claim the district title. Seneca East, with Amber Hescht, Brittany Brookes and Hannah Hahler making up the rest of the team, finished in 53.08 to Colonel Crawford's 53.09.
"The 4x1 was awesome," Seneca East coach Elizabeth Crapo said. "On our hand-times, we hand them in at 54-something coming into this. On our hand-time we ended up with a 52-something. They blew a second-and-a-half off their time, which in a 4x1 is a lot of time. We work on a lean all the time and Kirsten does it beautifully. In 2010 our 4x2 made it to state with the lean, so we always, come district and regionals, we make sure they learn how to lean, and she did it to perfection and it got them the win."
Camp, also a member of the regional-qualifying 4x800 team, made sure she was going to have a busy weekend at next week's Lancaster Regional. She added a second-place finish in the long jump, leaping 16-2 .
And to finish off the day, she tacked on one more team point for the Tigers with an eighth-place finish in the 800.
"It was a very stressful day," she said. "Good running weather though."
As a team, Seneca East took fourth in the team standings with 71 points. Colonel Crawford (131 ) took first, followed by Wynford (109 ) and New London (78).
Mohawk grabbed sixth in the team standings with 51 points. Leading the way for the Warriors was Ali Konkle, who is going to regionals in four events. Konkle took third in the 100 (16.4) and 300 hurdles (48.51), and was a member of the 4x100 team along with Aubrie Flood, Kayla Risner and Addie Thiery that took the fourth and final regional qualifying spot with a time of 54.25.
Mohawk also got second and third-place finishes from Shauna Leeth (12:18.76) and McKensie Richardson (12:39.75) in the 3,200.
Also qualifying for regionals was Haley Leeth, who finished third in the 1,600 (5:53.65).
"Girl wise I think things went really well," Mohawk coach Brock Cleveland said. "Ali Konkle had a big day. We dropped the baton in the 4x2, but she got out in the 100s the 300s and the 4x1, so that was good day for her. Two-mile, a couple great performances there. Both of them PR'd for the girls and both of them are freshmen, so this is going to be good experience to get them to the regional level."
Qualifying in multiple events is something that happens frequently. Getting out in both hurdle events happens frequently. Doubling up in a sprint and a jumping event isn't usually a surprise. But a thrower also making it on a sprint relay? It's not common. Yet, that's what Hahler accomplished Saturday.
In addition to running on the the sprint relays for Seneca East, Hahler also finished third in the shot put with a toss of 34-1/4.
"She runs the 4x2 and the 4x1," Crapo said of Hahler. "When she went to check out for the 4x2, the guy thought she was kidding. He kind of looked at her, and then when she had to come back and check out for the 4x1, he told her 'you take your warm up throws, so when you come back you can just throw.' She didn't throw as well after she ran both relays, but she did well enough to get out."
She also nearly made it on her own in the 200, just missing out on a qualifying spot finishing fifth in 27.61, three-hundredths out of fourth.
Also adding points to Seneca East's team tally was the 4x200 team that took fifth (1:53.97). Lydia Depinet finished sixth in the 1,600 (6:08.31) as did Jenna Larick in the 800 (2:34.88). Hescht finished eighth in the 200 (28.35) and Anna Willman took eighth in the 3,200 (14:01.83). The 4x400 team also finished eighth (4:41.01), Brookes finished seventh in the long jump (14-6 ), Cynthia Duston finished seventh in the pole vault (7-0) and Kaylyn Gosche backed up her district title in the discus earned on Day 1 Thursday with a sixth place finish in the shot put (32-11 ).
Mohawk's 4x200 team finished sixth (1:58.21) and Olivia Welter took fifth in the pole vault, clearing 8-6 but missing out on a trip to regionals due to criteria.
Buckeye Central got a pair of regional qualifiers. Aubrey Wright finished fourth in the long jump (15-1/4) and Tamara Metzger overtook New Riegel's Abby Mathias on the final half-lap to finish fourth in the 800 (2:30.5). Mathias' finish (2:31.11) was the only points in the meet for New Riegel.
Buckeye Central also got a fifth-place finish from Emma Breyley in the 400 (1:04.55) and a seventh from Isabelle Biglin in the 300 hurdles (51.56).

The report has been widely circulated around the internet, and generally accepted as factual with little or no critical review. A ZDNet investigation shows that the report's math is flawed and its charts are misleading, thus throwing doubt onto all of its conclusions. Flurry's report is broken up into four sections, and we found problems with all four. Two sections in particular, though, show the most glaring issues: one on new project starts, and one on platform fragmentation.

According to Flurry, their SDK is used by 185,000 apps, which comes to 150,000 for iOS and 35,000 for Android. Apple claims about 600,000 apps in the Apple app store, which means roughly 25% of iOS apps use Flurry. Now, in Q1 2012, the Flurry chart shows approximately 13,000 Flurry new project starts on iOS, and 6,000 new starts on Android. That's how they got their '7 out of 10 are iOS' figure, because 13,000/(13,000 + 6,000)=0.72. But if you take into account the percentage of apps on each platform that use Flurry, you get 52,000 new projects on iOS total (13,000/0.25), vs. 91,000 new projects on Android total (6,000/0.0658).
quote: The chart above compares revenue generated per user across iOS, Amazon and Android app stores. We start by taking the revenue generated per user in the iTunes App Store and setting it to 100%. We then compare the relative revenue generated per active user from Amazon and Google to the amount of revenue per active user generated by the iTunes App Store. Doing so, we find that Amazon Appstore revenue per active user is 89% of iTunes App Store revenue, and Google Play revenue per active is 23% of iTunes App Store revenue. Another way to interpret the results is that, for the same number of users per platform, every $1.00 generated in the iTunes App Store, will also fetch $0.89 in the Amazon Appstore and $0.23 in Google Play. These results mirror those of a similar analysis conducted by Flurry last December, where we found for every $1.00 generated per user in the iTunes App Store, developers generated $0.24 per user in the Android Market.
quote: That doesn't include Symbian, RIM, Windows Mobile, and Windows Phone installed base
quote: The flurry report has been discredited mainly due to the fact that flurry is used in less than 7% of android apps...
quote: Over 70,000 companies have chosen Flurry Analytics to use in more than 190,000 applications across iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, JavaME and HTML5.
quote: Another point of contention is that flurry's report {at least the version you linked to} leaves out the other android markets for example amazon...
quote: also the flurry report only looks at cash revenue and ignores android's main business model > mobile adds, which are used by over half of all android apps, yet flurry conveniently leaves them out when equating revenue on each platform.
quote: We examine a basket of top-ranked apps that have similar presence across iOS, Amazon and Android. Their primary business models are in-app purchase, which is the revenue type we compare for this analysis. Additionally, earlier research by Flurry found that the in-app purchase revenue model generates the majority of revenue for apps.

YOUNGSTOWN - With the recent approval of 21 home demolitions, the city is on pace to have 97 houses demolished since September.
By the end of the year, Deputy Director of Public Works Charles Shasho says the city should have 300 homes knocked down.
The late push comes from money the city received from $1 million from state Attorney General Mike DeWine's office from a national mortgage settlement case. Dubbed the Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Program, the initiative is intended to stabilize communities by demolishing blighted and abandoned homes.

This house on High Street was demolished in August during state Attorney General Mike DeWine's kickoff of a statewide blight initiative.
In August, DeWine kicked off the statewide program at a house on High Street.
The city's Board of Control approved three separate contracts at the their last meeting with seven homes slated to be demolished on the South Side, eight on the East Side and six on the North Side with three different contractors.
Total cost to the city for the demolitions is almost $68,000.
Fact Box
Youngstown is on pace to knock down 97 houses since September and 300 for the year.
Mayor Charles Sammarone wants to raze 1,000 houses by the end of his term.
Demos are often aimed at neighborhoods instead of scattered across the city.
Mayor Charles Sammarone said demolition is one of his top priorities because he believes the city can not make a comeback unless it cleans up neighborhoods and attracts new residents and also to keep residents from leaving.
Besides the demolitions, the city is also stepping up code enforcement to either get blighted properties cleaned up or get them on a demolish list.
Sammarone said the city needs to add to its list of contractors in the upcoming months to keep up with the demand because inspectors who are inspecting sites have been swamped with work.
''We have houses ready to go,'' Sammarone said.
Shasho said the demolitions often target specific areas or neighborhoods because it makes a greater impact than taking down scattered houses across the city.
He said that he hopes to have another 40 demolitions approved by the end of the year and expects more in 2013 because the mayor has made it a priority.
DeWine's office made $75 million available statewide for the demolition grants. Mahoning and Trumbull counties received $1.5 million and and $1.2 million respectively. Both counties received the full amounts for which they were eligible.
The attorney general's office has given communities until Dec. 31, 2013, to use the funds.

Community members packed the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena Friday evening for the second annual South Shore St. Baldrick's event to raise money for childhood cancer research.
"In this economy we appreciate everyone who volunteers to be here. It's tremendous and it's all for the children," event organizer and Genoa resident Christy Smith said Friday.
For Brian Gogue, a South Shore resident and captain with Tahoe Sport Fishing, St. Baldrick's is a way to commemorate the memory of his cousin who battled cancer before passing away at 33 years old. It was Gogue's first time at the event and he said he was blown away by the number of people who came out to support the cause.
"I'm amazed at all the people who came out. And I'm amazed at all the women who are out here, too," he said.
The South Shore's first St. Baldrick's event last year raised more than $66,000 for cancer research and drew 168 "shavees," according to Smith. The 2013 night was on track to match those numbers with 108 people pre-registered and another 50 or so walk-ins early on in the evening, Smith said.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation's inaugural head-shaving event took place 13 years ago in Manhattan at a St. Patrick's Day party. The group raised $104,000 for childhood cancer research that year. In 2002, the foundation raised its first million.

Skater Boy, I too wonder about what the skaters do who devoted not just their teenage years but their twenties to skating. They put off their schooling, and they probably used all their savings for training fees and so forth, without having any source of income during these years. It can't be easy to give up their quest for the top step on the podium, and then to shift gears to another way of life. I imagine it's even harder in a structured society like Japan, where people's career paths are set at an early age.
No matter how he does at Canadians, he still has the hurdle of establishing minimum fs and sp scores at an international event.
True but look at the score Buttle is getting with no quad and a limited 3A. I don't think he realistically is going for world's - yet. He would need to really train and get a coach and program would help too.
Buttle is coming back too?
Hi Icey, no I don't think Buttle has said anything about coming back but that would be awesome if he did. I think Buttle and Rochette, both Canadians interesting, are a little more honest about the nerves of competing andhow really in all honesty that is the bad part - winning medals and skating nice but the pressure of winning and competing. You hear spins on how it is awesome to go head to head, compete etc. but remember there is game face and then there is the truth. Evan is a great competitior as was Witt but who knows deep down they may have been worried ie that Debi Thomas would land all her jumps or that Lambiel or Buttle or Plushy would beat Evan. We all know there is game face we see it all the time (trash talk) but deep down who knows how secure the skater is. But Buttle is a fine example of someone who's skating reall is still top notch - he still has the 3A and the amazing blade and edges.
I found this video:
A little rough around the edges, but you can see the potential. Good luck To Emanuel - hope he finds a coach!
Jeff is still eligible right? He should consider coming back for the Olympic team event. PChan will be more than happy to have someone ease the burden off of him. He'll be exhausted to skate both SP and LP and then do his individual. Canada will have a medal for sure too.
This is a good deal Jeff!! Do it!!!
Sandhu's too rusty now, the Boring Buttle would do far better than him if he competed again
As for Sandhu, he was always one of those skaters with SO much promise but he never seemed to be able to string 2 skates together. Beautiful to watch on the ice and his programs were always, always interesting. I don't know if he can come back and be competitive but he'll surely liven up any competition he skates in.
In this video Doris previously posted in another thread, showing a 10 year old Kevin Reynolds, the commentary states Emanuel was Kevin's idol. If I am not mistaken, didn't Emanuel retire from competition just before Kevin moved into seniors? Now they will get to compete against each other at Canadian Nationals.
Last edited by rvi5; 12-18-2012 at 08:29 PM.
Sandhu's cocky as heck, but it is what is displayed on the ice that counts, and when he was having a good day, he could be pretty impressive. That having been said, I'd prefer a Buttle comeback to this.
Buttle left the way he wanted to - having put it all together at Worlds and delivering two strong skates. As much as I'd like to see him, he's clearly happy doing shows, "professional" competitions and choreography. Sandhu was all but forced out (Skate Canada didn't even bother submitting his name for the 2007/2008 GP season despite coming in 3rd at Nationals. The skaters that came 4th, 5th and 7th all had GP events. That effectively retired him) so he's coming back for some personal closure, imo.
I quite like Rogozine and hope that he improves, btb.

Greeley police now believe the vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash last month that seriously injured a longtime Greeley coach and teacher is a 2000 to 2013 black Kia or Hyundai, according to a news release from the department.
Police say the driver was headed south on 58th Avenue in west Greeley about 6:40 a.m. March 21 and turned east onto 18th Street, where the vehicle collided with Dick Ziegler, 62. Police and family say Ziegler was on his way to work at Frontier Academy, where he is a middle school math tutor. Ziegler was taken to North Colorado Medical Center in critical condition where he remains. Ziegler has had several surgeries with more scheduled, the release stated.
Ziegler graduated from Greeley West High School, as did his sons. He was a teacher and coached baseball there and at other schools in the community. He also played baseball at the University of Northern Colorado.
Jeff Cranson, athletic director and assistant principal at Greeley West, said after the crash Ziegler has taught in Greeley for years, including for 10 years at Greeley West.
He stays active and goes for a jog every morning, also picking up trash at the high school, Cranson said.

Ethan Cox and the team at Community Beer Works took the first step in their campaign to revive Buffalo's beer culture last April, when they opened their "nanobrewery" in a former Meyer Malting Co. building on Lafayette Avenue.
The group of friends started out as home brewers but decided to "go pro" by opening their own brewery, where they sell beer by the growler to retail customers and by the keg to about 20 local bars and other accounts.
They recently completed an expansion that boosted production from 250 barrels per year to the 400 or 450 barrels they hope to make in 2013, and the RateBeer website in January named Community Beer Works 2012's best new brewer in New York State.
Sure, the partners – led by Cox, Rudy Watkins, Dan Conley and Gregory Patterson-Tanski – want to make and sell a lot of beer, but they have higher hopes for their brewery.
Cox, who has a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, said a growth in breweries and locally produced beer can strengthen community ties, bolster city neighborhoods and provide a shot to the economy.
The 40-year-old native of Buffalo's West Side who is Community Beer Works' president, envisions a network of urban gardens supplying hops for his brewery.
Q: You want to "embeer" Buffalo. What does that mean?
A: In my mind, and from my reading of history, beer drinking creates community in a way that I don't feel other alcohols do. I think that the role beer has played in the beer-drinking cultures of the world, the historical beer-drinking cultures of the world, has been a really important cultural and sort of civic role.
Q: Why is Buffalo such a beer town?
A: Or maybe a shot-and-a-beer town. I think the working-class legacy, the blue-collar legacy, is a big one. We're still pretty much a blue-collar town, even if we're trying to figure out what to be next now that there are no longer manufacturing jobs. And that's probably also why bars are open till 4. Night shift workers want to drink.
Q: Community Beer Works started as a group of friends who wanted to make beer on their own, right?
A: We're all home brewers of various levels of experience and obsession with it. I learned to home brew one summer in my freshman year of college. I know that the first beer I ever made with this friend of mine was a stout, and it was from a kit. I'm sure that by my standards today it was not a very good beer, but we thought it was a success.
Q: Why did you decide to take it from your homes to a larger scale?
A: None of us were doing jobs that we thought were like what we really ought to be doing, so we were all open to the idea of changing careers.
Q: Who is your competition?
A: That's a tough question to answer. There's a sense in which everybody in the craft industry gets along real well and plays nicely because we pretend that we're not actually competing with one another at all – that we're competing with Budweiser and [Labatt] Blue and Molson. And to a certain extent that's true. Those guys, their beer still accounts for over 90 percent of all of the beer in this country.
Craft is maybe 6, maybe by now 7 percent, of all the beer. This far into the craft beer revolution, now 30 years, that sense of brotherhood is finally starting to fray. There's been a huge explosion in breweries opening up, and we're competing with one another for the resources to make the beer, and we're competing with one another to sell the beer.
Q: Are people in Buffalo willing to pay a premium for locally brewed, small-batch beer?
A: Some are, yeah. I don't think it's ever going to be everybody's cup of tea. And I don't have a problem with that. In fact, if everybody started drinking craft beer, who would I point to as being the awful alternative? It's in my best interest: I need Budweiser around to pick on. I'm not dumb. So when it comes to who's my competition, I have more to fear from the growth of Sierra Nevada than the 13th iteration of Shock Top that Budweiser is foisting on people, or whatever.
Q: You're coming up on 12 months in operation in April. We know you're having fun. How's the profit side of it going?
A: Like any small business, it's very thin to start. You really need to pour a lot of your sweat into it to get it to the point where it starts really making money. But the potential is certainly there. So as long as we can stay on track, grow without overextending ourselves, we should be fine.
There's no real exact number but somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 barrels of year of production, when you get to that level you still need to grow but at least you can breathe easy. Our goal is to get there as quickly as we can.

Rockefeller will retire
Area leaders: Rockefeller's retirement sad, but deserved
January 12, 2013
MARTINSBURG — While not a West Virginia native, Sen. Jay Rockefeller has spent nearly 50 years as a public servant for the state as if he were born and bred here....
Good bye, Mr. Rockefeller. And to quote Mr. Samuel Adams, "...may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Oh, the poor stupid people of WV are eternally grateful for your saving them. Thank goodness for him. He will be sorely missed. How can we ever hope to make it without him?
Give me a break. And that "public servant" garbage just has to stop. Either that or have him serve me lunch before he goes.
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree totally with Bullhead. I'd like to know how the people of WV can rightly determine Obama is a liar and a would be tyrant but elect a liberal liar like Rockefeller or Manchin? Rockefeller has been on Obama's side in every issue that WV voters disagree with. Rockefeller is the epitome of an elite politician who once elected does what the political party says to do not what his constituents want. Open your eyes WV voters. Don't vote into office another lying Senator, like Manchin, who says he supports gun owners, says he won't vote for Obamacare, says he will cut spending, but does what the political party says to do.

LISBON - A Guilford Lake woman experienced every pet owner's nightmare last week when her dog was stolen from her car.
Kathy Smith said her 2-year-old bichon/maltese mix, Sugar Bear, was taken from her vehicle while she was at the Lisbon post office on Wednesday.
"This was the first time I never locked my car," Smith said Sunday. "There was only one other car in the lot. ... I just ran in for stamps. It was going to be just in and out."

Sugar Bear, front, sits with his mother and sister.
When Smith returned, Sugar Bear was gone. Her sibling "was in the back curled up, like she was afraid," Smith said. "I just lost it."
Smith reported the theft to police plus the county humane society.
"Sadly, a dog like this may have re-sale value," Jenny Pike, president of the humane society, wrote in an email. "The thought of the motive makes me ill."
Smith is offering a $100 reward for the safe return of her pet, and a man from Youngstown reportedly offered to match that with his own $100.
"The posters my daughter made up says the reward is for an arrest, but I don't care if he is arrested," Smith said. "I just want my baby back."
"I'm worried about her mother and sister," Smith added. "They are not eating like they should. They are just walking around, looking for her ..."
Smith hopes other keep looking, too. She can be reached at 330/222-7048 or 330/260-5034.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Mylan is still in the process of losing a plant, AbbVie laid off more workers, and Zoetis is expanding its Lincoln, NE, manufacturing plant. [© Maksym Yemelyanov - Fotolia.com]
More than a year after Mylan said it would shut its manufacturing plant in Napa, CA, and lay off all workers based there by the end of this year, those plans remain shrouded in mystery as the company remains mum on details of what it will do and when.
And while Mylan responded Thursday night to GEN queries about the plant, the company said little except to cite its June 2012 announcement. There may be a reason for that: The company appears to be awaiting word from Napa County, where the Board of Supervisors agreed in April to buy the roughly 25-acre plant property from Mylan for $24.85 million. The county wants to move its Health & Human Services Agency there.
That deal is subject to a 120-day due-diligence period ending in August—14 months after Mylan disclosed plans for the shutdown and layoffs, citing cost and availability of lower-cost alternatives.
Back then, the plant employed 267 workers for Mylan Specialty, focused on branded specialty nebulized and injectable products. How many people work there now is not known. Bruce Wilson, director of the Napa-Lake Workforce Investment Board, told the Napa Valley Register in March that Mylan based "around 200 employees" there. Wilson was on vacation this week and did not respond to a GEN query about the plant.
The Mylan layoff was one reason why in May, the county board accepted an additional $700,000 grant from California's Employment Development Department to aid laid-off workers, though the funds can assist people downsized by other companies.
AbbVie got some attention earlier this year when it axed 96 R&D researchers. Turns out the branded biopharmaceutical spinout of Abbott Laboratories wasn't through pink-slipping employees.
The company last month alerted the Illinois that it laid off an additional 29 workers: "The June 26 notification was in regards to a reduction in our U.S. sales force due to a loss of patent exclusivity for our U.S. lipid franchise," AbbVie spokeswoman Adelle M. Infante told GEN on Tuesday.
During the first quarter, AbbVie said in a 10-Q filing it saw a 29% drop in sales at constant exchange rates for its consolidated lipid franchise, without furnishing dollar amounts. Two key lipid drugs, TriCor and Trilipix, saw sales fall a combined 50% to $128 million following the launch of generic TriCor last November. Sales of another lipid drug, Niaspan, dipped 3% year to year during Q1, to $186 million.
Niaspan may see generic competition in September, and Trilipix no later than January 2014 but perhaps as early as this month—so the lipid franchise should fare even worse this time next year.
Zoetis, the animal drug developer spun out of Pfizer in February, told GEN this week that its plan to hire up to 30 more workers at its Lincoln, NE, manufacturing plant had nothing to do with current or projected future demand.
"It is solely the production of Synovex and transfer of production from a third party that sparked the expansion in Lincoln, not increased demand for any other products," Zoetis spokesman Bill Price said.
Synovex is Zoetis' family of growth hormone implants for beef cattle. Until now, Zoetis and predecessor Pfizer have been producing the drug through an undisclosed third-party manufacturer. The new company wants to bring production in-house—adding up to 30 jobs at peak production to the site's current workforce of more than 500.
Synovex will join several Zoetis products manufactured in Lincoln—including Bovi-Shield Gold® and RespiSure One®, both for livestock, and Rimadyl® for dogs. Lincoln is one of Zoetis' largest internal manufacturing operations, a roughly 1 million-square-foot facility that serves as the company's global center for making animal health vaccines. The plant produces 1,200 finished goods for more than 100 markets annually.
Zoetis won't disclose the expansion cost, but will say it plans to break ground later this summer on the 19,000 square-foot, three-story expansion, for which the company has begun early stages of planning and construction.
"Construction is expected to be completed in 2014, but it is too early in the process to speculate on when we can expect the peak number of new jobs to be created," Price said.

High-wind warning in effect until 6 p.m
A high-wind warning has been posted by the National Weather Service for all the main Hawaiian Islands until 6 p.m. today.
A high-pressure system far north of the islands will maintain strong and gusty easterly trade winds.
Winds are expected to be 20 to 35 mph with localized gusts exceeding 50 mph.
These strong winds can bring down tree branches, trigger local power outages and make for difficult driving, especially for high-profile vehicles, the National Weather Service said.

Foreign ag investors must file forms
Foreigners with an interest in agricultural lands in the U.S. are reminded that they required to report their holdings and transactions to the U.S. secretary of agriculture.
"Any foreign person who acquires, transfers or holds any interest, other than a security interest, including leaseholds of 10 years or more, in agricultural land in the United States is required by law to report the transaction no later than 90 days after the date of the transaction," said Diane Ley, U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency state executive director.
Foreign investors must file Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act reports with the FSA county office that maintains reports for the county where the land is located.
The Maui County office is at 77 Hookele St., Suite 202, Kahului. The phone number is 871-5500, ext 2.
"Failure to file a report, filing a late report or filing an inaccurate report can result in a penalty with fines up to 25 percent of the fair market value of the agricultural land," said Ley.
Data gained from these disclosures is used to prepare an annual report to the president and Congress concerning the effect of such holdings on family farms and rural communities in the U.S.
