From generation to generation, football fans from Warren have made their way to Massillon for games against one of Warren G. Harding's classic rivals.
On those trips did you ever notice anything about the surroundings, other than an affinity for the colors orange and black? Did anything stand out?
If you map it just right, you can exit off State Route 21 onto Lillian Gish Street. Not far from there is a road named after David Canary. You might possibly drive over the Tommy Heinrich Bridge and cruise down Paul E. Brown Drive.
Once you leave your vehicle you can stroll by the statue of Paul Brown and take a seat in the stadium named after the legendary high school, college and NFL coach.
On the way to your car after the game you might pass by Bucky Schroeder Field, where the Tigers play their baseball games. There the dugouts are named after Joe Sparma and Mike Hershberger.
After all that you can return to Warren and drive down Market Street, turn left on Elm Road, which will take you to Harding High School, where you won't find much of anything named after a former athlete from our city. On the way there you wouldn't have driven on any streets nor would you have gone over any bridges named after greats from the past.
For some strange reason they don't seem to care much about remembering the past in Warren. Unfortunately, if that thinking continues much longer there eventually won't be anyone in charge that will remember someone like Paul Warfield. Then it will be too late to honor him and others that might be deserving of special mention.
Warfield, a 1960 graduate of Warren G. Harding and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was in attendance earlier this week as part of the Hall of Fame's "Hometown Hall of Famers" program that emphasizes the grassroots upbringings of some of the NFL's greatest players. The honor went to Warren and the high school for providing Warfield with the tools needed to achieve his dreams. The plaque was presented by the Hall of Fame. All that the school system had to do was set up chairs in the gymnasium.
Warfield has too much class to say publicly and even privately that his name should be attached to some symbol so that he'll be remembered to future generations. He was blessed to have reached the heights of pro football and to have been honored for doing so with his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1983, which might be enough to massage his ego.
Isn't it now time to do the right thing? How difficult would it be to put up a statue of Warfield just behind the home side at Mollenkopf Stadium? So you lose a couple of parking spaces.
Down the road at Youngstown State University they have Stambaugh Stadium and Dike Beede Field. In Windham the locals named the basketball floor after Marty Hill, who's still coaching the Bombers. Marty probably figured he'd have to wait until he's old and gray to have the floor named after him, assuming it ever happened.
Warren has produced countless great athletes in all sports. Bill White graduated from Harding and became one of the best first basemen in Major League Baseball. Ross Browner won the Lombardi Trophy and the Maxwell Award at Notre Dame. Mario Manningham made the biggest play for the New York Giants in the Super Bowl last season.
The greatest of them all, without question, is Paul Warfield. Can we finally recognize him in a lasting way? Maybe name the track and field complex after him, or better yet make it the Paul Warfield field at Mollenkopf Stadium.
If not, you might hear someone else say, "You know what. They do it right in Massillon."

As Tanner Brownlee sits quietly on the bench that is just a few steps between him and the stone forever engraved with his father's name, he makes it very clear what he's thinking.
"I don't like to talk about it," he says politely when asked about how he feels about his dad's murder. "I just don't. I'm sorry."
Tanner was 15 when his father, Weld sheriff's deputy Sam Brownlee , was shot by Reuben Reyes after Reyes led police on a high-speed chase through Morgan and Weld counties that ended in Evans. Reyes was killed at the scene by police officers, but not before Brownlee became the first Weld sheriff's deputy to be killed in the line of duty in 70 years.
Despite the fact that he likely remembers his every thought, his every movement, his every tear of that day in November 2010, only he knows what they are.
Until now, Tanner has dealt with it on his own. But tonight, when Tanner walks across the stage to accept his high school diploma with 200 other Northridge High School seniors, it's likely there won't be a dry eye in the audience at District 6 Stadium, and everyone there will remember their every thought as Tanner gets the diploma that just a couple of years ago seemed like it wasn't going to happen.
"Hey dad, I have something to say. First let me tell you I'm doing great. Family's just fine and so is Chase," begins a poem that he wrote for his graduation announcement. "But that's not what I had in mind."
The poem is the closest Tanner has come to talking about how he feels in the more than two years since he and his brother Chase lost their father. It was written somewhat reluctantly in the beginning at the urging of his mother.
"He won't talk about his dad, but he likes to write and that gets his feelings out," Cindy Price said about her son. "He wanted to dedicate something to his father. A poem seemed best."
As he walks around the fallen officers memorial at Bittersweet Park, which was erected the summer of 2012 to memorialize Brownlee and other fallen officers, Tanner says he is glad that he wrote the poem. He feels a sense of relief and a sense of peace knowing he's shared at least part of his journey to graduation with friends and family.
"Today, I've reached your main goal. At least the one for my life."
That goal — for his son to graduate — was something that almost didn't happen, and something that in the weeks and months leading up to his father's death became a constant point of contention between the two.
"We fought about it a lot," he said. "I was not very good at school. There were some thoughts about dropping out. I never got real serious about it, but I did think about it."
Price said she and Brownlee spent a lot of time working with tutors and Frontier Academy officials, where Tanner attended school at the time, trying to get him to graduation. But nothing was working. The rigor at Frontier was just too difficult, Tanner said.
"After so many fights and deciding both you and mom were starting to realize I might not make it through school. Asking if I wanted to be a fool. Guess I tried to be cool."
After Brownlee died, Tanner said he "checked out" even more. He began to fall behind in school.
"I was really frustrated," Tanner said. "It was very difficult. I was 16 credits behind to graduate on time from Frontier, so I left after my junior year."
Despite not wanting to leave his friends behind, Tanner was focused on graduating. He needed to give his dad this one last thing. So he enrolled at Northridge, he said, to ease some of the pressure.
"Then I understood the priority of the rule. If I just make it through. Do what I need to do. I'll succeed in anything."
Tanner had enough credits transfer from Frontier to allow him to finish school at Northridge in December. Price said watching him complete the one goal his father had for him is more than she could have ever hoped for.
Tonight, when Tanner gets that diploma, she said, everything will seem complete, and she's happy her son has decided to share his thoughts with others.
"I am so proud," she said. "I know that's what Sam wanted. Somehow we have fulfilled his wish for his son. I am so glad to see it happen."
Tanner's not sure what he plans to do next, other than find a job in the meantime, but he enjoys writing, so he may look into that down the road.
For now, he simply wants to say he graduated high school and completed his father's final wish.
"So here I stand where you wanted me to. With a cap and gown. I know if you were here I could hear you now. 'Son, I'm so proud.' Proving you wrong is something I hated. But dad, I've graduated."

In the night shots category, we picked the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z as our favorites for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, their photos have that same warm glow that's typical for professionally taken night images – that's what makes them more appealing than the rest. Also, there's quite a lot of detail present in the frame. The iPhone 5 performs well, but its photos aren't as rich in details and have quite a lot of digital noise. Night photos taken with the rest of the gang are okay, with a decent amount of detail and all, but lack that pleasant color tone we were expecting to see in that kind of shot.

Well.. Thats a really a close call between iPhone5 and S4 and lumia 920...
I would choose S4 though...

why my brother's iPhone 5 does not have such powerful flash in low light as PA?
i feel its not somethings have been altered with iPhone 5 low light shot!
u can see the dual shadows... look close and u can see the shadow of the tree is on the wall and the shadow of the table corner is downwards...!!!

While I was browsing over the pictures I let my friends (apparently not tech geeks and photo experts) choose the best among the bunch. Funny because they were so amazed by the results of LUMIA 920, saying colors are vibrant and alive while pertaining to other photos as "boring" and "dull".

Similar happens to my amoled screen of infuse.. Its just wvga but when comparing videos and images with ip4s, my friends who are not tech geeks always prefer my phone over ip4s..they say that ip4s look dull and boring comparatively..

Yeah, just looking at the jpeg details instead of expanding them you can pick out the 920 pictures fairly easily. (last shot the experia stands out for some reason lol)

Props to Apple for being able to be competitive with the GS IV. There won't be an upgrade to the 5S until probably Sep or October, and yet, it is competitive with the GS IV.
All Apple needs to do is update their 2007 UI. (Sighs)

All Apple needs to do is update their 2007 UI, and increase the res to 1280 x 1080, and do an AMOLED version, etc, etc....

no need for amoled, IPS/LCD is fine they have normal color saturation, not over saturated, super LCD 3 is where its at, anything past certain pixel density is negligible, get 400 ppi and you are set for life, your eyes cannot see any individual pixel, now if the next iphone brings a better camera with higher res, better battery life, hopefully away from this lithium ion, we need something that will last a week, new UI is needed and maybe they will offer different screen sizes. O I forgot put front facing speakers just like the HTC One.

I've read a lot of review. and I know GS4 wins against my xperia Z T____T how I love to die.

Yet again no 808..When you want to do acamera test OBVIOUSLY you compare it with the best out there..Not also-rans..
5. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
But as a phone, the 808 is an also-ran. So your point is?
6. brucewayne (Posts: 29; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
This aint comparing phones..If you didnt read properly i said comparing cameras..not phones..And now also if you dont get my point then i dont blame you..The world is full of ppl like you..

117. osanilevich (Posts: 285; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
I'm pretty sure the point of this comparison is to compare the cameras of phones that people will actually buy. 808 might have the best camera in the business but, unless you're a professional photographer, I doubt you'll be buying the phone anytime soon
147. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)

7. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
It's not needed to put 808 in these comparisons. Everyone knows already that it has easily the best camera out there. They want to compare these cameras that are more close to each other.

Better answer. They're comparing cameras.
132. illiad (Posts: 128; Member since: 07 Feb 2012)
no, you compare like for like! .. would you compare a porche or rolls royce to a mini metro or 'smart car'????
you will have to wait for the 40Meg comparative camera test....

Funny to see how "phone arena is full Samsung fans" here.
A pretty subjective comment and a quite obvious fact and has received 10 thumbs down vs 12 thumbs up (at this time).
Fans or haters? Lol, at the blind contest, a hater showed his shame of picking iPhone by blaming "Samsung fan did choose iPhone" in the first comment while many many comments in the blind test choose #4 as Lumia or One.

Seriously, you need to know what you're doing with the Lumia 920's camera. With the Pro Shot app which greatly gives you control over your photos. See for yourself...http://forums.wpcentral.com/at

Samsung uses the exmor RS found in the xperia z but sony's compression is ruining the camera experience. Sony can be the best in terms of camera.
94. vincelongman (Posts: 4444; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
If I think Sony makes the sensors for the Xperia Z, S4, SIII and iPhone 5, and the Z sensor is newer than than the SIII and iPhone 5. But the iPhone 5 and SIII takes better photos than the Z because the Z has poorer software.
102. Kakooli98 (Posts: 7; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
Even the s4 uses the exmor RS. Samsung's software is better. I wish sony would use their g lens or even a carl zeiss one for better image quality.
154. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
What kills the Z's quality is compression. The Z shots look much better when you have compression off (uyou need 3rd party stuff to turn it off)

20. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
So the Lumia 920 underexposes, but is still pretty good.
The HTC One overexposes, meh.
The S4 and iPhone5 are pretty close to each other.
22. Feanor (Posts: 714; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
So, the final score states clearly that the Sony sensors are the best as all three top cameraphones use either the new Exmor RS (Z, S4) or last generation Exmor R (iPhone). At Sony they ruin their flagship because of poor post-processing but they seem to be just an update away from the top.
155. cheetah2k (Posts: 1578; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
I wonder what firmware iPA are using on the Sony Z. If its the old 350 firmware then I would expect it to be as bad as they suggest, but not on the 434.
The latest 434 fixes a few things and I do not experience any purple tinting or anything else that they experienced here. I find it an excellent cam, with an exceptional burst mode and auto focus.
24. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
What white balance setting are you guys using on the Lumia 920? I heard that by default it is on "fluorescent" white balance, so that might be what is giving you guys saturation/coloration problems with your shots. Otherwise, it looks like the detail is still there. I was also reading online somewhere that tweaking the settings on the HTC One can give you much less faded looking results. They are very capable cameras if used correctly.

Oops, something didn't work.
I can haz a
cat IE9? Excellent, I remember back in the day I actually had to re-architecture my JavaScript code to make it work smoothly with IE6 (it worked fine on Opera and Firefox).
Charles, next time you meet them can you ask them why they do not cache the native code once the JS method has been codegen'ed and run the cached code for future visits to the site, as long as the method stays the same?
Yes, I can
It's a very interesting case. It's also a harder problem to solve (on various levels) than it may appear to be on the surface (just cache compiled code and then run it on subsequent visits to the site is not an effective or safe approach). That said, I am not a JS engine developer. Next time I visit them, I'll be sure to ask about this.
Thanks for this
I love the idea of both background compilation and background garbage collection.
It'll be interesting to see what kinds of applications Chakra and other IE 9 creatures will enable.
We didn't talk about Background GC for JS... You are referring to that mechanism in CLR4, I assume...
I realise I may be late and offtopic, however, just want to say the WMV(High) version is Excellent- Unreal infact. By the way what are the camera's you guys use?
I know stating the entire semantics of caching compiled JS in a single line is oversimplification, but I ain't a JS engine developer either. So, let's hear it from those who are themselves.
Yep, I'm just merging the ideas in my head which they appear to be completely orthogonal. I don't know how parallelizable compilation and garbage collection is but even just background compilation and collection is a bit of a dream; I think the first time I read about parallel garbage collection was in Object Oriented Software Construction (OOSC) by Bertrand Meyer (could be mistaken), where the notion of a parallel garbage collection is introduced, I think it even mentioned it as taking place on a separate CPU (same die or not).
We used a really nice camera (not sure of the exact model). Michael O'Neill, our awesome videographer/director/producer, flmed this. He's a pro!
CLR4, shipping with VS2010, employs a background GC. Learn about it here: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Maoni-Stephens-and-Andrew-Pardoe-CLR-4-Inside-Background-GC/
We will
"For example, the ability to change execution strategies based on power state (if a PC is on battery power, for example, then limit the amount of codegen)." ... I believe this is mentioned in the video as well...
And then you guys talked about how it's bad to let the developer give 'hints' how to run the code [generally I agree], so I'll assume there is no "disregard power state flag"... I can just imagine someday, somewhere, people are going to hit a bug where someone complains "the website seems slow on my browser but only on my laptop and only on my commute to work".
Honestly, I dislike the idea of VM logic changes based on state (such as current load or power state) for anything but garbage collection
Just get it right
Does the JS engine come as a library that can be reused in other apps apart from IE9, similar to V8?

Lopez couldn't hide her delight when a cake in the shape of a giant pink teddy bear was brought out. "Happy birthday BEAR!" it read. (The couple call each other "bear.")
Smart Tweeted Tuesday, "(yelling) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEAR IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE U.. ') @JLo."

on September 6, 2012 - 7:40 PM
Six separate instances this year in which a Buffalo police officer fired a service weapon at a suspect all appear to be justified, at least from the considerable distance the public is able to view these cases.
In the most recent situation last week, an 18-year veteran of the force shot and wounded a Buffalo man who was holding a 9 mm handgun at the time.
Police were responding to a domestic assault call when the suspect, 19, pulled a handgun at the front door and then fled into the back yard.
One officer caught up with the suspect on Walden Avenue, where they then wrestled. The suspect refused to drop the gun and the officer ended up shooting the man in the thigh in self-defense, according to police officials and Thomas H. Burton, attorney for the Police Benevolent Association.
Thankfully, the man did not suffer a life-threatening injury and the officer escaped harm. In two earlier police shootings, one on Aug. 1, the other on May 27, the suspects were killed.
Six police shootings in a single year is atypical, when compared with the past few years. From 2009 to 2011, no more than one or two shootings involving on-duty officers occurred in the area's law enforcement agencies.
But Burton has said there's no rhyme or reason for the current cluster of shootings, because each situation is unique. And District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III and Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda also don't think the numbers represent a pattern or trend.
Officers can face danger at any moment during a shift, and in all of these shooting incidents, the officers had to make split-second decisions under extreme duress. It's not a position anyone would seek to be in.
The executive director of the Stop the Violence Coalition in Buffalo has said he'd like to see cops get more training on how to quell volatile situations without using deadly force.
It's a legitimate point to ponder, although we're not sure how well non-lethal weapons such as Tasers or beanbag guns or better negotiating skills would have worked in any of the six situations officers encountered this year.
What is necessary is a full accounting of the shootings. As it stands now, Burton, the PBA lawyer, often ends up being the primary source of information for what transpired during the shootings. But Burton, of course, represents the shooting officer's point of view.
The Police Department and the Erie County District Attorney's Office should be more forthcoming with regard to the details, and ultimately the findings, in these cases.
The closer view can go a long way toward erasing any doubt about whether a shooting was justifiable.

Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
To say the least, I'm not particularly motivated these days to write about the Cubs. The road trip disaster and the reality of the standings coupled with the anemic offense has pretty much put an end to the season. Never say never and all and Carlos Zambrano will be back this week, but I'm expecting nothing more than the same frustrating Cubs team the rest of the way. At 62-60, I figure 90 wins gets them in the picture and that means a 28-12 run over their last 40 and that still might not be enough for the wild card or the division. So as the season winds down, I'll probably be talking a lot about the new ownership and 2010 and the Chicago Bears. Live with it...
I did go to the game Saturday afternoon...happened to be the AngelFan Wife's birthday as well. I know how to treat the ladies. For her gift, I got her a washing machine...for Christmas I'm thinking a vacuum cleaner or a big screen TV.
Brief description of the day and photos after the jump...
We were the benefactors of 2 amazing seats just 2 rows behind home plate, something I doubt we'll be experiencing ever again. It's the "Dugout Club" at Dodger Stadium and what I'm sure is becoming a trend at most stadiums, it's for the "privileged" crowd or lucky bastards like myself. Just to get to the area is a roped off glass door that leads downstairs, and at every checkpoint I half-expected someone to stop us and let us know we don't belong there. Eventually you make it downstairs, pass by both clubhouses and to get to your seats you have to go through the all-you-can-eat buffet that comes with the tickets. Most people were chowing down before the game, but we headed right out since we had a big breakfast with the wife's family for her birthday. Another usher and yet another moment of expecting to be turned back, but he led us to our seats, a row ahead of CNN anchor Larry King who looks every bit of his age.
I won't bore you with the rest of the details of the game, even sitting that close you don't hear much from the field except the home plate ump between innings interacting with the fans. I'll say the Dodger fans don't like Milton Bradley much either, being warmly greeted with a serenade of "Meltdown" in his first few at-bats. Some photos below for your pleasure....

Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Did you notice anything about certain players or the game in general that you wouldn't have on TV or in the seats for the great unwashed?
Re: FatSoto's ass
"He's not overweight." Hendry the enabler:
Does Soto need to get in better condition to avoid injuries like his oblique strain?
"No, he's naturally a big-boned guy," Hendry said. "I don't think* his weight is any different than last year when he won [N.L.] Rookie of the Year. He came to camp in real good shape, gained a few pounds after the [ World Baseball Classic]. He's never going to be tall and skinny, but he's not overweight."
*Maybe Cubs fans could chip in and buy the Cubs a bathroom scale.

Dodgers fans jeering at Bradley are the same group of rocket surgeons who drove to Vegas and cheered Manny during his suspension. Do Dodger fans know anything about baseball?
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
I was there the night Weaver and Arronondo didn't allow a hit but lost. It was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of game. 90 percent of them had absolutely no clue what was going on.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
from rotoworld:
Chris Perez has thrown 15 1/3 scoreless frames out of the Indians' bullpen.
It's the longest scoreless streak by a Tribe reliever since Rafael Betancourt tossed 19 straight shutout innings in 2007. Perez has rattled off 19 strikeouts against four walks during the stretch and is doing Cleveland management proud. The 24-year-old was picked up in late June from the Cardinals for third baseman Mark DeRosa, who is batting .237/.313/.443 with his new club.
the stl surge isn't about DeRosa but he sure filled a hole at 3B which is not going to be reflected in any hitting stats. Plus it's one of the larger things on the list of Hendry mistakes that have not only created a void on the team when ARam went down this year but then came around and bit us in the ass by helping our main competitor.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
We needed to clear payroll for Aaron Miles
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
My theory is Geo & Hendry spent the entire offseason hanging out getting high.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Some December night in Geo's smoke-filled apartment, over a bag of Doritos...
Geo: Doooode, Mark Derosa is pretty good.
Hendry: Yeah, man, he's our secret weapon.
Geo: You know what you should do? You should trade him... pffftt!
Hendry: {manical laughing}
Hendry: Okay, okay, okay, okay... where should I trade him? What time is it?
Geo: It's 1:30, man...
Hendry: Ok, ok, ok, I'll call Sharpy in Cleveland.
picks up phone, dials number...
Geo & Hendry giggling while phone rings
Shapiro: Hello? Who is this?
Hendry: Hey Sharpy, it's Jim in Chicago.
Shapiro: Jim Hendry? Everything okay? It's 2:30am.
Hendry: Yeah, man...that's cool. Hey do you want Mark Derosa?
Geo: Ask him if his refrigerator is running!
... the rest is history.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Plus, Derosa still hits right-handed. What a goof!
Clearly, all the left-handedness helped against the Dodgers.
BillyBucks calculator now has the Cubs at 87 wins -- probably not enough.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
The have had mediocre defense this year.
BABIP is down but not a lot.
They've hit plenty of home runs.
And of course... They've given up way too many walks.
None of this is too surprising, but it is interesting to see how FEW walks STL has given up. It's clearly the chink in the armor of our pitching staff. Just throw strikes. Unless you are Kevin Gregg, in which case... who knows... try something different.
Also, the Cubs have a lackluster road record.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
CHC has a higher BABIP than STL. Nice.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Is UR/G unearned runs? Unearned runs are also a function of pitching. The Cubs are third in the majors in Defensive Efficiency.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Yeah, that's fair. UR is still relevant, imo, but maybe I shouldn't refer to it as "defense".
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink
I think it might be a good time to revisit our pre-season predictions.
Probably worth a good chuckle at this point.
Re: Cubs Season Well Past the Brink

Dear Baseball Gods--
My trip to Chicago has nothing whatsoever to do with the Cubs. In actuality, I am a Red Sox fan.
Well, if Strop had to give up a run...at least he hit Sean Rodriguez to do it.
jaso has a cycle and 5 rbis...pit leads by 4.
have a nice
bowl of pizza soupdeep dish pizza...or a leisurely walk around the notorious south-side (bring money)...shopping at one of the walmart supercenters...waiting in line to waste $20 at willis tower...
seriously, though...it's chicago, a lot to do. have a dog for lunch, a great dinner, and catch some local comedy.
Strange, because he really seemed to have the Pirates number last year.
Bummer for Jake -- I think this is the first time all year his ERA has been over 3.00, and that will be his number for the year.
Jinx remover -- your trip doesn't have to be for a baseball game -- lots of stuff to do here in town.
Guess they could always try to White Sox (and Bears...sob) approach: Never Rebuild! Seems to work pretty well for them.
3rd time this season he's given up 6+ runs to PIT...only team he's given up 6+ runs to this season.
7 runs is the most he's given up since august 6th in colorado...in 2014.
Over 100 pitches, only the 5th.
coghlan out...got his cleats stuck in the wall attempting a play (failed, but looked great doing it). walking off on his own, precautionary/day-to-day looking stuff...hopefully not worse.
also, jake arrieta is literally worse than hitler. 1-5, bottom 5. ...make that 1-6, bottom 5. ...make that 1-7, bottom 5.
Coghlan crashes into wall and comes up limping, looks like left knee or ankle. Leaves game...
Arrieta inspiring no confidence yet again.

Bend police are still investigating and not yet releasing more details on a suspected drug lab discovered at a northeast Bend home, but worried neighbors expressed surprise and concern Monday about the fund.
NewsChannel 21 talked with neighbors of the Broken Bow Drive home to get their views of what transpired over the weekend.
"It's kind of crazy -- I didn't really know what to think about it," Brittany Gates said. "I mean, I thought that there might be some drug activity, but nothing as bad as what happened."
Another neighbor, who declined to go on camera, said it's discomforting, knowing a drug lab was near his home. He also said he didn't have much interaction with the renter, except to complain about the residents being too noisy.
An investigation of sex crimes involving drugs led to Friday night's raid and the discovery of a drug lab in a bedroom, apparently the first found in Central Oregon in over a decade, authorities said. That in turn brought a hazardous materials team and others from across the state to help clean it up Saturday.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant around 8:30 p.m. Friday at 2770 NE Broken Bow Drive, resulting from an ongoing investigation of drug and sex crimes, said sheriff's Capt. Scott Beard.
A renter of the home, a suspect in the drug and sex crime case, was arrested during the raid, which Beard said turned up the drug lab and several unknown chemicals. Detectives immediately evacuated and secured the home and contacted a hazardous materials response team.
The haz-mat team responded, along with more resources from Oregon State Police, around 1 p.m. Saturday to clean up the lab and its chemicals, the captain said. He added that "drug teams from across the state came to help," as it's not been a common find in this area in recent years, and lab-certified crews are involved in clean-up operations
Beard declined to identify the arrested man, at this stage in the investigation. However, the sheriff's captain added that the homeowner "had nothing to do with it and doesn't live in this state" – though he could face the cost for residual clean-up.
Crime-scene tape, numerous police and hazardous-materials team members in their "clean suits" drew neighbors' concerns Saturday.
Beard said signs have been posted indicating that a drug lab was found inside and that anyone who enters would be trespassing. But the sheriff's captain said the haz-mat team disassembled the lab and cleaned the area, adding that "there are no public safety concerns or hazards regarding the investigation."
Beard said he could not yet speak to what drugs had been made there, pending a chemist's report. While methamphetamine labs were prevalent around the region a decade or more ago, he said other drugs might have been made at the home, mentioning MDMA (Ecstasy).
He also said it's the first such drug lab uncovered in Central Oregon, that he could recall, since at least 2004. In January 2001, a 20-member SWAT team uncovered a meth lab on Lava Drive in La Pine. In December of that year, a Redmond couple was arrested twice in a week on meth manufacturing charges, having allegedly set up a new drug-making lab in the days after their release from jail on the initial charges.
An epidemic of meth labs in the Northwest and other areas led Oregon in 2006 to make the precursor chemical pseudoephedrine a prescription drug, as it had been before 1976.
That put some common medications behind the counter, but it also prompted a sharp decline in meth lab cases in Oregon, from 190 in 2005 to 12 in 2010, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/precursor-chemicals ). Much meth production shifted in ensuing years, authorities said, to so-called "super labs" in Mexico.

Every year, I try to lift up Thanksgiving as the true universal national spiritual holiday of America. Unlike other national holidays that are purely secular (Independence Day) or actually sectarian (Christmas) or pseudo-pagan but charming (Halloween), Thanksgiving hits all the right spiritual notes. It's about thankfulness for our many blessings, and in this simple truth comes a gentle obligation not to take for granted our abundant blessings in our abundantly blessed country.
This Thanksgiving time, many people in the storm-ravaged Northeast are still recovering from the minor and major dislocations caused by Sandy. So I send along to you, and everyone, these simple prayers to make your holiday truly thanks-filled:
Dear God, may we spend as much time thinking about our blessings as we do about our burdens.
What we lack is so much easier to see than what we have. One way to correct this spiritual imbalance is a technique I call spiritual balancing. I learned it from a painter who worked on our house years ago. I saw him lugging two heavy pails of paint up the stairs, one in each hand. I asked him why he didn't make two trips up the stairs with just one pail at a time. He told me that carrying just one pail would cause him to be unbalanced and would over time throw out his back.
By carrying two pails, he could both carry a heavier load and also remain balanced. What's true about pails of paint is also true about our lives. When you think about your sorrows, try to time yourself. Allow yourself whatever time you need to list and consider the reasons that life is difficult for you now. Then force yourself to spend exactly the same amount of time listing and considering and being thankful for all your blessings.
I believe you'll discover that this spiritually balanced approach to the real truths of your life will give you a serenity that may elude you if all you think about is how you've been cheated. Our lives are much closer to perfect than we realize.
• Dear God, help us to see the evidence of goodness all around us as easily as we see the evidence of evil.
Superstorm Sandy was not just a meteorological event; it was also a spiritual and moral test. The riots at gas stations were facts. The outpouring of volunteer help and donations were also facts. Which facts surprise you more? Are you more amazed by human callousness or human compassion? Does the evidence of greed strike you as more typical of human beings than the evidence of goodness?
Both are real, but both cannot shape our souls equally.
Philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that "Each man is the wolf of his neighbor." Our Bible teaches that each person is made in the image of God. Which do you believe?
An old Native American story tells of a chief teaching his grandchildren that there are two wolves inside each of us: "One wolf is greed, and one wolf is goodness, and they fight within us always." One grandchild then asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief answered, "The wolf that will win is the wolf you feed." May God help us feed the right wolf.
• Dear God, may we all remember that our blessings exceed our burdens.
Every day, we awaken to a new set of blessings and burdens, but every day we awaken, our blessings surpass our burdens. On our darkest and most dismal mornings, this fact is hard for many people to accept. We're so easily seduced by self-pity or by our powerlessness to heal and bring hope to those we love, but the overwhelming truth of our life cannot be spiritually distorted.
• Dear God, help us to understand that our lives are always unbalanced in favor of hope!

According to the Mount Pleasant Police Department Candice Bottorff, a Human Resources employee with five years of work experience with the town was terminated last week. Her termination was based on an audit led by the finance division and a confession secured by the Town of Mount Pleasant Police Department
The Mount Pleasant Police Department arrested Candice Bottorff, 65, of Vision Road in Mount Pleasant, on embezzlement charges in the amount of $52,239.
After being confronted about the alleged charge, she, accompanied by her attorney Guy Vitetta, handed over her municipal office keys and identification card.
She told police and town officials, "I know I've done wrong, but I just wanted to say I am sorry," and police incident report said.
She told an investigator that she took insurance money that was in the form of cash.
She explained that she had been doing it for several years in an effort not to lose her house. She told police she could not pay her mortgage.
She said it was about $800 a month.
The police report provided to the Moultrie News indicates that she put the money in her bank. She said, "I didn't hide it."
In an interview with Mount Pleasant Detective Justin Hembree, Bottorff was asked what led her to believe her alleged actions were being looked into and she replied that she knew an audit had been taking place, "I knew I was toast, and well, it's been preying on me. My stomach's been on fire for like a year and a half and I just couldn't get out of it."
The report said that she explained in her statement to police that monthly insurance payments was the only money in the span of her control.
According to talking points from town officials, Bottorff's actions are "a direct affront to the core values of our organization, which are 'trust, honesty and transparency, fairness and respect, excellence and public service."
Mount Pleasant Town Administrator Eric DeMoura said the town has a zero tolerance policy for this type of action and they plan to prosecute to the full extent of the law.
The town is fully insured and will recover the financial loss, he added.
In addition, the town is audited annually to monitor conduct and performance and to secure accountability.

MVB Hosts Grand Canyon Saturday and Sunday
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State men's volleyball team (7-0, 2-0 MIVA) opened up a five-match home stand last weekend and downed MIVA foes Quincy (25-14, 25-10, 23-25, 25-14) and Lindenwood (25-18, 23-25, 25-22, 23-25, 15-12).
Ball State leads the MIVA in blocking, nabbing 3.28 blocks per set. The Cardinals are also holding opponents to a league-best .121 hitting percentage.
Kevin Owens and Matt Leske highlight the Cardinals individually statistically. The two middle attackers are first and second in the conference in blocks per set with average of 1.60 and 1.33 blocks per set respectively. Owens has the second-best hitting percentage in the MIVA at .450, while his counterpart is seventh with a .367 clip.
Tommy Rouse, Shane Witmer and Urim Demirovski find themselves in the top 10 in the digging in the MIVA. Rouse's average of 2.71 digs per set puts him in third, whie Witmer's 2.29 and Demirovski's 2.00 digs per set average rank them fifth and eigth. Senior outside attacker Greg Herceg is second in the league in kills (3.90 kills per set), service aces (0.48 aces per set) and points (4.76 points per set). Setters Graham McIlvaine and Dan Wichmann have the second and ninth-best averages in the conference at 11.00 and 5.65 assists per set.
Grand Canyon is 4-5 on the season and 0-2 in MIVA action, but all five of its losse have been to teams that were nationally ranked. This past weekend, GCU lost a pair of matches to defending MIVA champion Lewis, 3-1 and 3-2 respectively. The 'Lopes are first in the MIVA in assists (12.53 assists per set) and kills (13.53 kills per set). Grand Canyon's Christian Ward, Keaton Berry and Ryan Mather rank third, fourth and fifth in the MIVA in hitting percentage at .409, .396 and .379 respectively.
The Cardinals hold the all-time series advantage at 8-1. Last season both team split the regular season matchups, but Ball State downed Grand Canyon in four sets in the MIVA Tournament. The Cardinals are 3-0 at home against the 'Lopes.
Saturday's match will start at noon and the match Sunday will get started at 7 p.m. at Worthen Arena You can follow the team on Twitter at @BallStateMVB or on Facebook by liking "Ball State Men's Volleyball". As always, ballstatesports.com is the official site for Ball State Athletics.
