He created the fictional Jervis family whose things, including half-eaten meals, chamber pots and discarded clothes fill the house. The tour, conducted in silence, takes visitors back to the period 1724 to 1914 and bombards their senses with the sights, sounds and scents of the era. Tours are only available a few days a month.

CDOT: Semi rollovers along I-70 due to hazardous winds
BYERS, Colo. — A number of semi trucks and camper trailers rolled over along Interstate 70 Tuesday due to hazardous winds.
About 12 to 15 semis and three to four camper trailers over turned along I-70 from Byers all the way to the Kansas border Tuesday, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Restrictions were put into effect in the eastern area, asking empty high-profile vehicles to avoid I-70 east of Denver because of dangerous winds.
The Colorado State Patrol in Limon tweeted out an image of one of the overturned tractor-trailers.
Maintenance crews from the Department arrived on scene to access the rollovers. CDOT said crews planned to leave the trucks on their sides until the winds died down enough to turn them back upright.
CDOT said the stretch of roadway was not closed because visibility wasn't a problem.
A spokesperson from CDOT estimated it would take crews several hours to wait out the winds and get the trucks and campers upright again.
She added that Highway 40 was also experiencing adverse weather and the road was closed from Limon to Kit Carsen due to brown-out conditions.

The Reserve is a Blanc de Noirs style sparkler, a white wine gently crafted from red grapes. Hand picking, early harvesting and light pressing are critical. Small amounts of select Chardonnay are included in the blend to lend some additional backbone and length to the palate.
Technical Notes
(70% Pinot Noir/30% Chardonnay). More than 80 cool climate vineyard sites in Carneros, AndersonValley and the Sonoma and Marin coastal areas are managed each year to achieve the best possiblefruit. Hand-picking, early morning harvesting and light pressing are critical. Small amounts of selectChardonnay are included in the blend to lend additional backbone and length to the palate. Barrelfermentation (46%) and malolactic of particular lots provide viscosity and depth. Extensive tasting isconducted over the winter months, with as many as 200 base wines being taken into consideration. Eachbottle is aged 3 months on the lees and a minimum of five years in Schramsberg's historic DiamondMountain hillside caves. The finishing dosage is the result of comprehensive trials to fine tune balance offlavor and acidity.
Food Pairing
The Reserve is well suited for service with main courses, especially such choices as veal tenderloin and roast duck, or with full-flavored fish such as sea bass. This delicious bubbly also pleases as an aperitif. Try it with smoked oysters, caviar or crab cakes.

Homeowner Eleanor Long didn't get to plan the timing of her renovation. After Hurricane Isaac flooded her Madisonville home, she was forced to make some changes.
"The flooding forced me to rethink everything," Long said. "Although it wasn't something I would have chosen, the storm became a unique opportunity to go in different directions with the design of the house, with my work, with all aspects of life."
Long's observation got us thinking about hurricane-prompted home renovations. Ann Maloney, Arts and Entertainment editor at NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune reflected on her own post-Katrina home repairs.
"No one would ever wish the devastation of these storms (or the Katrina floods) on anyone," Maloney wrote. "For many, they are tragic. For those of us, however, who were lucky enough to suffer only the loss of 'things,' the recovery process forced us to do things that actually made our homes more comfortable.
"After Katrina, swamped the first floor of my own, I was able to make some changes that I would never have made: I changed out what were -- before the storm -- perfectly fine sliding glass doors with wooden French doors in my den. Now, a room that was filled with so much sadness is so lovely to me. It's a place where I spend time with my family. I watch the sun go down behind the neighbors' houses and the birds and squirrels look for supper.
"I was able to move a door out of my kitchen, which had very little cabinet and counter space, so that I could redesign it to make it a place where my husband and I enjoy cooking together.
"Of course, I would trade all of that if my city could never, ever have gone through the floods that followed Katrina. That said: It is encouraging to watch people like Ms. Long and my neighbors, family and friends come back strong."
Has storm damage forced you to make changes for the better? Tell us about your remodel at firstname.lastname@example.com, add your comments below or send your photos to email@example.com and we'll feature them.

Dozens pack hearing over inmate's parole
Supporters of an inmate serving life in prison for a 1974 murder are urging Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to commute his sentence so he can be released, and even the victim's family members said they've forgiven him.
The statements came Wednesday during a public hearing called by Branstad to gather input on whether he should commute the sentence of 66-year-old Rasberry Williams, which the Iowa Board of Parole has recommended.
Branstad has until early May to decide.
Commuting the sentence would allow Williams to become eligible for parole after 38 years in prison for the murder of 40-year-old Lester Givhan outside a pool hall.
Three former inmates who served with Williams credited him with helping them turn their lives around. Two of Givhan's cousins say the family has forgiven Williams.

Past literature suggests that success rates in professional basketball are independent of past performance and has been interpreted as evidence that the commonly-shared belief in Hot Hands (HH) is a cognitive illusion. This is often cited as evidence of biased decision-making even when financial stakes are high. We argue that this interpretation ignores changes in both teams behavior after the detection of an HH player. We derive testable hypotheses that differentiate between HH as a real phenomenon and a cognitive illusion. Analyzing an entire NBA season, our results are consistent with HH being a real phenomenon.

Countless upscale restaurants, boutique shopping centers, excellent museums, the RBC Center and the Durham Performing Arts Center provide residents with all the conveniences and sophistication of an urban setting coupled with a low cost of living. While the Triangle is extremely family-friendly and has superb school systems, it also boasts excellent opportunities for singles, making Forbes.com's list of top twenty cities for dating. Two to three hours from both the Blue Ridge Mountains and beautiful beaches, no wonder the area was ranked #4 on Money Magazine's list of Best Places to Live!

The violent hijacking of TWA Flight 847 once again placed American civilians at the mercy of terrorist captors. The outrage provoked feelings of rage and frustration in the U.S. and a natural desire among Americans to strike back. But how, and at whom? Gary Sick, 50, was a National Security Council adviser to President Carter during the 1979-81 Iran hostage crisis, which he describes in his book All Fall Down: America's Tragic Encounter With Iran (Random House, $19.95). Currently he is responsible for programs relating to U.S. foreign policy at the Ford Foundation in Manhattan. Sick discussed the Reagan Administration's options in its hostage crisis with PEOPLE Assistant Editor David W. Grogan.
Is there any kind of military retaliation the U.S. can take?
If your intelligence is good and you can identify a specific retaliatory target, there are all sorts of possibilities. You can send a Delta Force commando raid in to attack a particular site or kidnap individuals involved in the terrorism. But the problem with a small terrorist group is that they move frequently. Finding the house in the suburbs of Beirut where they happen to be meeting currently is a tough job, especially if they don't meet in the same house every time.
Some experts suggest the U.S. should bomb Shi'ite terrorist training camps in the Syrian-held Bekaa Valley. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
If you can really identify a training camp and launch a bombing raid, okay. I am not arguing against hitting terrorists. But say you blow up a school and a hospital at the same time. You'll be remembered for killing a lot of innocent civilians, not for destroying the place where they've been training guerrillas. Terrorists are very shrewd about locating themselves close to civilian targets.
In the weeks prior to the TWA hijacking Secretary of State George Shultz suggested that we should hold Iran responsible for the acts of Shi'ite terrorists in Lebanon. Do you agree?
Even though Iran may have acted as a sort of ideological inspiration, there is no direct evidence that it planned the hijacking of TWA 847, trained the people who carried it out or provided money. But if you casually go out and bomb the holy city of Qum or the oil-loading facilities on Kharg Island, one likely outcome is that the Iranians will turn to the Soviet Union for air defense support. You are also tempting Iran to launch a whole new series of retaliatory raids of its own—for example, striking oil-loading facilities in Saudi Arabia. You could end up with a full-scale oil war in the Persian Gulf.
The problem is, none of these options look very good once you think through the consequences. What would we accomplish besides venting our spleen and just demonstrating the fact that we are really angry? It's like slamming your fist into a wall. It appeals to you until you break a knuckle.
But we are, after all, the strongest nation in the world. Why should we have to put up with this kind of humiliation?
Being big and strong is not in itself a protection against what are really minor irritants. A big, strong man could lose a night's sleep because a mosquito is buzzing around his head. In a sense, it's the same kind of problem dealing with terrorists. These are people who can't organize a military force and go after us. They wouldn't stand a chance. Whatever actions they take are not going to destroy the United States. It may make our lives difficult for a while and a number of innocent people may get killed along the way. But it takes a certain maturity to realize that as long as there are unhappy people willing to risk their lives for some political cause, there is always the danger of terrorism. You can take precautions. You can make sure the security around airports is tight, so that 99 out of 100 get stopped. But that won't mean that every now and then one won't slip through the net and cause you a tremendous amount of anguish.
Are you arguing that the United States should sit still and do nothing?
No. But overreacting is worse than under reacting. It should be remembered that frustration is precisely what a terrorist wants to create. He wants to make you angry, so you strike out mindlessly. That serves his purpose by distracting you from all sorts of other things that might be constructive and useful. So one option that is available to the Reagan Administration is to try to downplay the crisis. Say, "It's foolish of us to go chasing our tail in circles about this. We care about our people, but for the moment there isn't much we can do." There are already seven American hostages in Lebanon, the majority of whom have been held for up to a year now, and there has been no major public outcry. If we add another 40, where is the breaking point? When does the Reagan Administration have to take some action that it didn't take before?
One thing I do know. If we had argued during the Carter Administration that there was nothing we could do about the Iranian hostage crisis and we were going to go about business as usual, Carter would have been impeached. That was the mood of the American public. Are we going to be as emotional about this hostage crisis as we were about the last one? I don't know. In the end, the real issue is not whether we are willing to stand tall to terrorism. It is whether we are willing to accept the world as a complicated place where solutions sometimes do not come easy.
When U.S. Hostages Are in Peril, Willpower Counts as Much as Firepower, Says Crisis Expert Gary Sick

Chivalry Lives as Mike Manteo Revives Knights to Remember
Half a century later Manteo, who inherited the honorific "Papa" from his late father, Agrippino, has gotten more than 200 of his marionettes out of storage and is reviving the proud family tradition. The Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences recently began staging selected episodes of Orlando Furioso and plans to continue on a regular basis. Papa Mike and his sister, Ida, the only surviving members of the original Manteo family puppet troupe, throw all the voices in Italian. Members of the extended Manteo clan, led by Papa Mike's son Pino, 53, handle the marionettes. Even Papa Mike's 9-year-old grandson and namesake gets into the act, running errands backstage. As director, Papa Mike, still barrel-chested and stentorian despite his years, demands perfection from every one of them. "If there is a little mistake, I do the same thing my father did," he says. "I go haywire. After the scene is over, I become a very angry beast."
Papa Mike remembers his father as a severe man whose "blue eyes would scintillate when he got mad." A Sicilian-born orphan who grew up scrounging from carnival vendors and sleeping in puppet theaters, Agrippino arrived in New York in 1919 with a handful of marionettes and a love for show business. Settling in Little Italy, he ran an electrical business by day and staged puppet performances at night. Agrippino's wife, Caterina, collected quarters at the door, and four sons and a daughter helped backstage. "I started out as a kid cranking the pianola—an old hurdy-gurdy," Papa Mike says. "But whenever my father wasn't around, I'd practice handling the puppets. All the while he pretended not to know. I guess he figured it would kill my interest if he was always looking over my shoulder. Eventually I was allowed to manipulate the marionettes onstage, and my father came down to direct the show from the wings."
As the story of Orlando Furioso unfolded, episode by episode, the hero, Orlando, and his main sidekick, Rinaldo, encountered fire-breathing dragons and wicked sorcerers as well as a fair number of damsels in distress. "We tried to give the stories a little sex appeal," Papa Mike says. "Of course Orlando was very pious, like a saint. He didn't mingle too much with the girls. But his partner Rinaldo was worse than Errol Flynn—a real skirt chaser. He'd disappear with some damsel for 15 minutes, and everyone knew he was giving her the works." Romance, however, was a secondary attraction, and no episode was complete without a grand battle. "If there wasn't any fighting, people wouldn't sit still to watch the show," Papa Mike says. "Whenever one war ended, there was another one beginning. And we always left each episode in a cliff-hanger so people would come back the next night."
The violence also left a lot of the marionettes in considerable disrepair, while the intricate plot demanded an ever-growing cast of characters. So Papa Mike and his siblings spent their days fixing battered old warriors and handcrafting new ones. Weighing up to 125 lbs. apiece, the marionettes were carved out of wood, with padded torsos and detachable heads. Warriors wore full armor made from scrap metals. Other characters were arrayed in velvets and satins. Over the years the Manteos accumulated some 500 priceless marionettes, each individually named and doted upon by the family.
During the Depression the Manteos lowered their admission price from 25 cents to 20 cents; nevertheless attendance steadily dwindled. "Even if only a handful of people showed up, my father always insisted on performing as if there were a packed house," Papa Mike says. But just as people were getting more change in their pockets, radio and talking pictures delivered the coup de grace. In 1938 the Manteos closed up their theater and put their beloved marionettes in a friend's cellar. Agrippino died a few years later. "It was a tragic end," Papa Mike says. "My father was getting on, and he lost all his pep because he was no longer on the stage every night."
In the years that followed, Papa Mike worked as an electrician to support his wife, Mary, now 81, and their two children. Meantime many of the puppets were mistakenly thrown out by a landlord, and many others were ravaged by rot. Then in the '50s Papa Mike took out some of his favorites and started mending them in his shop. "Working with the marionettes again got me so excited," he says, "I went a little crazy and neglected my electrical trade." At Mary Manteo's insistence, he got back to work, bringing the puppets out only for occasional shows at schools or folk art festivals.
Now retired from the electrical business, Papa Mike can give full time to the puppet theater at last. In anticipation of coming episodes, he spends most days in a big Staten Island workshop studying the saga of Orlando and mending ailing knights and knaves. Surrounded by the surviving marionettes—they hang in long rows, waiting to be called into battle—he is a man at peace. "I'll die if I'm separated from these marionettes again," Papa Mike says. "They are part of my soul."

Lindsey Graham, instructor of sociology at Davis & Elkins College, recently has been appointed to serve as the college's director of institutional research.
"I'm delighted to serve as the director of institutional research at D&E, and grateful for the opportunity to be able to do this important work at the college level," Graham said. "I'll also be teaching students, in some ways, about what I'm doing."
In her new role, Graham will collect, analyze, report and warehouse both quantitative and qualitative data specific to D&E.
Article Photos
"It's a broad category of work done at all colleges and universities," Graham said. "The information is used for campus decision making at all levels."
Some of the information, such as responses to this semester's survey on new student orientation programs, is used within the college. Other data, including institutional prices, enrollment, and institutional human and fiscal resources, is required for reporting to national agencies such as Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
Overall, various parts of the information she gathers will be used in the current academic year "to see how we can improve and prepare for accreditation." Graham also has plans for other projects throughout the school year. Among these is the formation of an institutional review board made up of faculty members, students and community members who will review research proposals in order to safeguard the rights of research subjects.
Graham has an extensive background in research, which includes co-authoring an ethnography that focuses on residents of a transitional homeless shelter. She also has worked as a research consultant for the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women of the United Methodist Church.
A native of Kingwood, Graham earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a master of divinity and master of theological studies in religion, personality and culture from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary on the campus of Northwestern University. She has completed further graduate study in sociology of religion at Drew University.
She began teaching sociology and religion at D&E in 2010, and has taught courses in Appalachian Studies, Race, Gender and Social Inequality, and Research Methods and Data Analysis.
More information about the college is available at www.dewv.edu or 304-637-1243.

• From 1965 through 1980, 1,108 patients (1.5%) underwent thrombectomy and local arterial reconstruction because of brachial artery occlusion after a total of 73,750 cardiac catheterization procedures performed at the Cleveland Clinic. In a study group of 100 consecutive patients, 91 had simple arteriotomy revision and nine had segmental arterial resection with either axial reanastomosis or a saphenous vein interposition graft. Thirteen patients sustained early recurrent thrombosis after limited arteriotomy revisions, and 11 of these had successful reoperations. Ninety-eight patients were discharged from the hospital with normal distal pulses and no ischemic symptoms. Statistical analysis indicated that women were more likely than men to experience early recurrent thrombosis, and that late ischemic symptoms were most common among women and among those who required reoperations at the time of initial treatment.

Activision comes to the bargaining table
The videogame battle of the bands has gone to court and quickly left.
Viacom-owned Harmonix Music Systems, the developer of the first two "Guitar Hero" games and "Rock Band," on Monday filed a lawsuit alleging that Activision owes it royalties of more than $14.5 million for "Guitar Hero III" and other spinoff products from the hit franchise.
But Viacom said Tuesday night that it is withdrawing the suit. The threat of a protracted, public legal fight was apparently enough to bring Activision to the bargaining table. Companies are expected to continue discussions out of court.
Harmonix created the first "Guitar Hero" game for publisher RedOctane, which was bought by Activision in 2006. Harmonix then made "Guitar Hero II" for Activision before it was acquired by Viacom's MTV Networks later that year.
Last year, MTV published "Rock Band," Harmonix's new game that adds drums and vocals to the "Guitar Hero" formula. Activision, meanwhile, published "Guitar Hero III," which was made by a new developer, Neversoft.
"Rock Band" was a solid hit, selling more than 1.5 million units in the U.S. "Guitar Hero III" sold a boffo 6.5 million units. Overall, the "Guitar Hero" franchise was the industry's biggest, generating more than $820 million in domestic revenue last year according to the NPD Group.
Lawsuit, which was filed at California Superior Court in Los Angeles, alleges that Activision owes Harmonix approximately $14.5 million in royalties because it used the developer's technology to create "Guitar Hero III," which is similar to the first two installments.
Suit claims that under Harmonix's original agreement with RedOctane, it should be paid the higher of two royalty rates if any sequel it doesn't build "incorporates, uses, or is derived from Harmonix property." But Harmonix asserts that Activision paid it the lower royalty rate – half that of the higher rate – which is supposed to apply only if a new developer builds a "Guitar Hero" sequel essentially from scratch.
"(Activision) has failed to pay Harmonix its full share of royalties earned in connection with Harmonix's essential and undisputed contributions of its intellectual property and technology to the bestselling video game `Guitar Hero III,"' the lawsuit asserts.
Harmonix estimates the unpaid royalties at $14.5 million. It also claims that it has not been paid any money it is owed for "Guitar Hero" song downloads, in-game advertising, and other ancillary products. Royalties on those products only apply, under the agreement with RedOctane, if Harmonix's technology is used in sequels and spinoffs.
Activision countered that it has paid Harmonix all of the royalties that the developer is owed for "Guitar Hero."
"Activision believes it has made sufficient payments to Harmonix and the claims otherwise do not have merit," said General Counsel George Rose.
Lawsuit was clearly intended in large part to establish a precedent for future royalties, as Activision plans to regularly produce new "Guitar Hero" games. It has already announced three follow-ups, including one based on music from Aerosmith, that will come out later this year.
Harmonix says in the suit that if Activision continues to pay royalties at the current rate, its losses "will mount at the rate of tens of millions of dollars per year."

The Master's College men's basketball won its last three games of the regular season to earn a spot in the Golden State Athletic Conference Tournament.
Unfortunately, that spot was a No. 8 seeding, which pitted the Mustangs against No. 1 Concordia.
TMC team did its best to keep up and managed to tie the score late in the game, but eventually fell 70-60 to the Eagles in the first round of the conference tournament on Thursday night in Irvine.
With 4:19 remaining in regulation, the Mustangs (13-18) were knotted up at 54-54 with Concordia, which is ranked second in the latest National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics poll.
The Eagles (28-3) answered back with a 3-pointer by Peter Smith that established game-winning momentum down the stretch.
Four different TMC players scored in double digits with guard Anthony Cammon's 18 points leading the way.
Throughout the first half, it was a back-and-forth game, totaling five lead changes in the period. Concordia led 30-27 at halftime.
In the second half, the Eagles tried to pull away, but the Mustangs kept the score close until the waning minutes.
As a team, TMC shot just 31 percent from the field.
Also contributing for the Mustangs were Devin Dyer (13 points), Joey Fuca (11) and Leif Karlberg (10).
Cameron Gliddon led Concordia with 15 points.
TMC finished 6-14 in the GSAC and had to recover from a 2-13 start in conference play to earn a berth into the tournament.

PopTok to provide shorts for email, IM
PopTok, a Netco providing short movie and TV clips for email and instant messaging services, has launched in beta.
Service, headed by digital media vet Scott Kauffman, has inked deals with several major studios, networks and music labels including CBS, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Universal. Lionsgate and Sony BMG also inked deals, but Disney is notably absent.
Service is intended to allow users to easily send their favorite lines from TV shows, movies and songs to their friends. Users simply drag and drop the video clip onto their IM service or email.
"People are constantly quoting lines they hear in popular movies, TV shows and music," said PopTok founder Illi Edry, who maintains that this service allows studios and other content providers to be part of the conversation.
Kauffman, most recently at Yahoo, said the company plans to make coin three ways: ad revenue on websites, promotional deals and through a cut from ecommerce transactions, be it ticket sales, iTunes sales or video-on-demand.
Edry, an Israeli who developed PopTok in conjunction with venture capital firms Jerusalem Venture Partners and GTI Group, said the film studios, normally protective of their digital wares, were the first to join the service.
"They see it as the ringtone model for Hollywood," he said.
Prexy-CEO Kauffman, who recently joined the Netco, said showbiz content providers are much more open to digital deals than they were eight years ago, when he was launching a music service.
"I'm really pleased by how much more open and accommodating they have been," he said. "The tech issues and piracy issues are well in hand."
The site plans to have more than 10,000 clips available by the time of its public launch in the fall. Licensing of the clips is covered under talent promotional deals.
Kauffman has a long history in the media biz, having toiled at CompuServe and Time Warner, where he was a founding member of the Entertainment Weekly team as VP of marketing, promotion and new media. More recently he has worked on a series of Internet startups, including Zinio and MusicNow. Yahoo acquired his marketing firm BlueLithium in late 2007.

Sometimes, a dreary-looking house calls out to you, suggesting a future together if only you'd breathe new life into it.
When Antonia Hamilton visited a 19th-century townhouse north of Fitler Square, she heard the call.
On the plus side, the place had lots of sunlight and some workable interior spaces in which she and her husband could be comfortable now and into retirement.
Hamilton was intrigued with features that lent character, such as a staircase that branched into two directions at the second-floor hall - heading up 14 steps to the left, 11 to the right.

Texas Rangers have two closers
SEATTLE - Well, this much appears clear: The Rangers currently have two closers. It's not a closer-by-committee situation. More like a sub-committee. Though Neftali Feliz was apparently available, manager Ron Washingon turned to Frank Francisco to close out the Rangers' 6-3 win over Seattle.
Of course, Francisco did kind of complicate things by throwing eight balls among his first nine pitches and bringing the tying run to the plate with nobody out. But after a visit from pitching coach Mike Maddux, Francisco struck out Franklin Gutierrez and got a pair of routine fly balls to end the game and draw the Rangers (12-12) back to .500 for the first time since April 18.
"I just wanted that experience there in the ninth inning," Washington said. "I've said all along that we need Frankie. I just thought this was the right place for him."
Washington, however, didn't call Francisco the closer. Nor did he call Feliz the closer. Having already changed closers once this year and with Feliz struggling in the role, the Rangers do not want to create a carousel of closers. They can't constantly be putting the label on somebody only to remove it two weeks or two blown saves later.
So, for now, the idea is to transition Francisco back to the closer's role. But they will do that with out officially labeling him in any way. If the Rangers can get opportunities to put him in positions to succeed, they will. A three-run lead in the ninth against the worse lineup in baseball qualifies as one of those opportunities.
• Most interesting that RHP Neftali Feliz was not given the save chance Saturday, but did warm up after RHP Francisco put two runners in base with eight balls in a nine-pitch sequence to start the inning.
• 3B Michael Young had two throwing errors. Young, more than anybody, will suffer without Chris Davis' stretchability at first base. He could use somebody as Chris Davis back at first base.
• RHP Darren O'Day has gotten five outs on eight pitches over his last two outings.He's quickly going to jump up tn roles if he keeps working that way.
• LHP Matt Harrison threw 127 pitches in six innings. It was the highest total by a Ranger since R.A. Dickey threw 131 in 2004. Way too many. Harrison did, however, qualify for a quality start with the long outing. Harrison is supposed to pitch again Thursday. it will be important to see how he bounces back.
"I think with the Nolan Ryan mentality we've got that 127 pitches is not too many," Harrison said. "We are out there to go nine innings, not to pitch to our pitch count. I felt fine througout the game and when I came out. I just don't think that many pitches are going to hurt my arm."

There's a chance the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season may see its first named storm form during the next few days deep in the tropics.
The National Hurricane Center gives a broad area of low pressure out in the Atlantic Ocean about a 50 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm during the next two days.
As you can see in the enhanced satellite image below, the system, dubbed 92L, is closer to Africa at this point than the Caribbean Sea (92L is in the lower left-hand corner of the image).
The system is moving to the west and eventually the models (see below) predict it will track toward the Caribbean Sea. However, wind shear over the storm should increase by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, limiting its potential for development.
Therefore 92L, even if it becomes the season's first tropical storm, probably won't be a threat.
As we've previously discussed, forecasters believe this hurricane season will be a busy one, with at least 50 percent more storms than normal.
Typically there's a June named storm about once every other year, so we'd expect to have one during an active year. During the record-breaking 2005 season, we'd already had Tropical Storm Arlene (formed June 8) by this point of the year.
I will say, however, that if we're seeing named storms develop out of African waves at this early of a date, the predictions of a very active season are looking spot on.
