In the midst of a fourth straight losing season, the New York Mets have two stories developing as the end of the 2012 regular season quickly approaches.
The first story is R.A. Dickey's march toward the National League Cy Young award. The second story is David Wright's contract situation.
Wright has been firm on his stance to not to even begin negotiating until after the season.
As Jon Heyman reports, Wright does not want to talk about a contract during next season either but is "extremely optimistic" that a deal will get done.
Although the Mets hold a $16 million option on Wright for 2013, the story gets interesting if the Mets do not lock him up long-term this winter.
Heyman makes a lot of valid points as to why the Mets should sign Wright long-term, and it is difficult to argue against that stance. Hopefully a deal gets done and Wright stays in a Mets uniform.
As many know though, anything can happen because this is the New York Mets that we are talking about.
Envisioning David Wright as anything but a Met is difficult, but if his option is the only thing picked up, it may be time to think of his other possible landing spots, as teams will be calling for his services next season.
Here are five teams that could be making a call for Wright's services next July if the Mets do not sign him to a new long-term contract.
**Note: Teams are ordered from least likely to most likely to acquire Wright

Swann knee needs rest
Watch session-by-session highlights of every T20 and ODI on ecb.co.uk/video
England spinner Graeme Swann is set to be sidelined for up to two weeks due to a badly bruised knee.
Swann has been advised to rest after suffering continued discomfort from a knock to his left knee while batting in the first Twenty20 international at Adelaide last week.
The 31-year-old will certainly miss Friday's second one-day international in Hobart and may not return until the penultimate match of the seven-game series in Sydney on February 2.
"He has got a slightly strangely deformed kneecap on his left knee," England team director Andy Flower said.
"He got hit and it is badly bruised and it is quite painful so he won't be playing in this game and might have to rest for 10 days to two weeks.
"That does give (back-up spinner James) Tredwell the opportunity depending on whether we want to pick two spinners or not."
The news comes as a blow to England's hopes in the Commonwealth Banks Series, which Australia lead 1-0, with their two frontline seamers Stuart Broad and James Anderson already absent.
Broad is recovering from a stomach injury he suffered in the second Ashes Test, although he will join Anderson, who has spent the post-Ashes period resting in England, on a flight back to Australia on Friday.
Anderson was given time off after playing in all five Tests against Australia and is scheduled to return for the fourth one-dayer in Adelaide on January 26.
Broad is unlikely to take any part in the series but Flower revealed he preferred the right-armer to complete his rehabilitation with the squad in Australia.
"Stuart will be arriving out here on the 21st along with James Anderson," he said.
"We don't anticipate Broad playing in this series. It would be a surprise if he got up to speed in time to do that.
"It is better for him to be out here rather than being in the middle of an English winter."

Your son's pals are getting cars for their 16th birthdays. How do you help him deal with the fact that he's not?
Parent advice from our panel of staff contributors:
"Stall him. Then when the first of his friends gets ticketed or has an accident, just look at your son and nod knowingly."
– Bill Hageman
"Yeah, sucks to be you. On the other hand, some kids get lunch buckets and directions to the coal mine on their 16th birthday, so deal."
– Phil Vettel
"As soon as you can pay for it, you can have a car."
– Dodie Hofstetter
"Make them pay for it, maintain it, insure it and pay $4-plus a gallon to drive it anywhere."
– Ellen Warren
Expert advice:
Help him deal by explaining honestly why you're not buying him a car, says psychologist Jennifer Powell-Lunder, author of "Teenage as a Second Language: A Parent's Guide to Becoming Bilingual" (Adams Media).
"A lot of parents are afraid to say no to their kids because they're afraid of their reaction," says Powell-Lunder. "Sometimes your job is to say no. But you should offer an explanation.
"I'm a believer," she adds, "that every time you talk to your kid about anything, especially in conflict, it's an opportunity to teach them something."
If the no-car decision is based mostly on principle – you believe he's too young for that much responsibility; you believe he'll treat a car more carefully if he buys it himself; you don't want him feeling entitled to big-ticket items – explain that to him.
"When he says, 'But Johnny's parents are buying him one and you like them!' you answer, 'That's Johnny's family. I know that's hard for you to hear, but let's talk about our family.'"
If you actually would like your son to have a car but you simply can't afford to buy him one, talk to him about ways you can save money together to make it happen.
"'Let's come up with a plan for how you can get this car,'" Powell-Lunder suggests. "Maybe you come up with a matching funds setup. That can be a great, collaborative discussion where you talk about independence and autonomy and working for things he wants."
Any conversation about the desired car, she emphasizes, should include some discussion about what's acceptable behavior when driving a car and occupying a car, who pays to insure it, how it will be maintained and what the consequences are if rules are broken.
"A car is the greatest responsibility most kids will have," says Powell-Lunder. "Even if the kid buys his own car, at any point the parent has the authority to take away those keys.
"Those are tough conversations to have and they can feel like an affront to your kid," she says. "But you need to have them."
Have a solution? Your friend posts uncomfortably personal stuff about her kids on Facebook. Should you tell her to stop, for her kids' sake? Find "The Parent 'Hood" page on Facebook, where you can post questions and offer tips.

Pittsburgh's August Wilson Center looks for help
PITTSBURGH -- A bold attempt to create a world-class African-American cultural center in Pittsburgh is collapsing, but local leaders are exploring options as they consider why the project failed.
The August Wilson Center opened to great fanfare in 2009 after a broad range of public and private institutions pitched in to raise tens of millions of dollars and construct a new 65,000-square-foot building. It was a heady time for followers of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, who grew up in Pittsburgh and died in 2005. He is best known for his 10-play cycle that chronicles black life in America, and a Broadway theater is named after him in New York City. Many hoped the Pittsburgh center would become another star in the transformation of the city formerly known for its steel mills.
But now, as a judge has approved selling off the building to settle a mortgage default and other debts that total about $10 million, some are reflecting on the accomplishments and failures of the center.
"It would be very sad if it went away, but it would not be surprising," said C. Patrick Tyndall, a theater professor based in New York who wrote his dissertation on Wilson.
The Wilson Center was conceived as a grand venue for theatre, dance, and music, but Tyndall noted that "money is always the problem" for serious arts projects, even in New York.
"It probably was too big in the beginning," Tyndall said, though he praised the goal to honor a legendary and highly influential figure in the arts and African-American culture.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said he and Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto are working with corporations, foundations and community stakeholders on ways to save the center.
"It's a very important asset, culturally," Fitzgerald said. He said he doesn't know why the original plan failed.
Others have noted that the recession began just before the center opened and that original estimates of paid visitors were far too optimistic. Plans for a restaurant never came to be, either.
Some area residents are suggesting the center could be saved in some form if it partners with another organization.

Hubbard volleyball coach Jeremy Porter is well aware of the traps of getting too comfortable at the Division II Boardman volleyball sectional and district tournaments.
The key is don't.
"It's one of the tougher districts in the last two years," said Porter, whose team is 18-4.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Michael Taylor
Howland's Kelly Dungan (25) spikes the ball past Jackson-Milton's Taylor Tharp (31) in a match earilier this season.
The top-seeded Eagles are favored to get out of the district, but it's easier said than done - especially when you have second-seeded Canfield and senior Sabrina Mangapora standing in the way. The Eagles have split the Cardinals.
Canfield and Hubbard aren't the only teams to watch out for in the Boardman district. There are also the teams of Cardinal Mooney, Liberty, Southeast, Salem and Poland that can win this year's district crown.
"There's a lot of good teams there," said Porter, whose team plays Alliance on Tuesday in a sectional semifinal.
If Hubbard gets past the Aviators, the Eagles will most likely face fourth-seeded Southeast for a sectional title.
"They're very good," Porter said of Southeast. "From that night on, it is going to be a tough road."
However, Hubbard has the top assists leader in school history - Marquette Gasser.
"She's a great leader. All-time leading assist leader at high school, which is pretty impressive considering the history of our program," Porter said. "We look to run the offense out there. I can pretty much put the team in her hands. I have extreme trust in her to make the right decision. Once in a while I'll give her a play to run, but most of the time she does the right thing. It's very, very good to have an experienced leader on the court like she is."
Another team with experience is Liberty (17-5).
Fourth-year coach Dave Sewell has seen this year's senior class improve each season - going from two to six to 13 wins last season.
"I've had a good bunch of freshman that have really worked hard," Sewell said.
He said there's plenty of good teams in the Boardman sectional/district, where the Leopards are ranked third.
"We're seeded third, but I feel Hubbard and Canfield are going to be the teams to beat," Sewell said.
Liberty is led by Dave's daughter, Jenna, who is the second-leading kill receiver on the team. She also leads team in digs and serving percentage.
"She's the glue that holds everybody together," he said.
Sewell said this is a cohesive unit that has Leah Leshnack and Mackenzie Stanley leading the team as well. Leshnack is a defensive specialist and Stanley, who is the tallest on the team at 5 feet, 8 inches, leads the team in kills.
"Four hitters that can rotate and that's been a key to success for us this year," Sewell said. "Normally, you go just left or just right. They've learned all three spots, so we can set up anywhere. That's been helping us quite a bit."
As for Lakeview (18-4), the Bulldogs haven't lost since early September - getting key victories over Girard and Lakeview.
Lakeview is led by middle hitter Marissa Naples, who tallied her 250th kill Thursday against Campbell.
Add Calli Schmitt and Caitlin McDivitt to Lakeview's leaders.
The sixth-seeded Bulldogs, who play in the Division II Jefferson sectional/district, have plenty of competition there - starting tonight against fifth-seeed Ashtabula Edgewood.
There's also the top four seeds - Mentor Lake Catholic, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, Crestwood and Geneva which all have byes to the sectional finals.
Mentor Lake Catholic has been to a handful of state final fours and won the state title in 2010.
"It may be one of the toughest sectional/districts," Lakeview coach Scott Taylor said. "ND-CL is tough and there is a very good Mentor Lake Catholic team."
Howland (16-6) is in a very good Division I sectional/district at Stow. The Tigers face Boardman on Tuesday.
"Being Division I, we're going to have to step it up in the next few matches," Howland coach Amanda Lingenfelter said. "Every match is going to be a battle from here on out. We've played a lot of four or five game matches, so we're as ready as we're going to be."
Howland is led by a pair of Erikas that are outside hitters - Airhart and Lapmardo.
"They're getting to the point they have a real desire to win," Lingenfelter said of her seniors. "Their seeing the end of their season. I have six seniors. They're doing anything possible to start playing together as a team."
Now, the Tigers are playing some of their best matches.
"We're starting to come together defensively," Lingenfelter said. "That was one of our weaknesses early in the season, playing really well together right now."
As for Jackson-Milton, which is the defending Division IV Lisbon District champion, the Blue Jays had a lot of returning players.
"We only lost one senior," said J-M coach Sue Prozy, whose team is 19-3. "We had a lot to build on."
The Blue Jays moved from the lower tier of the Inter-Tri County League to the upper tier.
"We've worked hard, tried to have fun. Our goal is try to repeat last year," Prozy said.
They tried to prepare for this year's sectional/district by playing some Division I and II schools.
"Anytime you have a strong schedule, it helps prepare you for tournaments," Prozy said. "We've always tried to plays some bigger schools that it would gets us ready and prepared for big games.
"It does help. We always try to play good volleyball schools."
J-M, the top seed at Lisbon, faces the East Canton-Sebring winner in Thursday's sectional final.
Wellsville is the second seed in the tournament.
"They're going to be a big obstacle for anybody," Prozy said.
J-M has its fair share of top players with senior Paije Kiraly and junior Erica Hughes, who went over the 1,000 kill mark for her career.
"She's tough as nails as far as competitive," Prozy said of Kiraly. "She works hard to try to keep everybody up. She's a great leader for everybody."
Prozy added this year's sectional/district isn't an easy one with Heartland Christian, Wellsville, Columbiana and Lisbon as some of the other top teams.
"Myself, I don't let us work too far ahead," Prozy said. "I'm worried about our first game. We take that. I don't tend to look past anybody. When you do, that's dangerous. We'll just work hard, try to hit hard and have fun."

The XXX-rated films are gone, along with the customers who trolled the Forum Theater on Market Street seeking public arousal.
As videos and the Internet killed porn theaters, the Forum was among the last to die, but it finally closed Nov. 30, giving Philadelphia the opportunity - for the first time in decades - to develop this key link between the city's east and west sides.
Richard Basciano, the man behind the proposal to revive the area with new apartments and street-level commercial space, is best known as the king of Times Square porn. But he also owns the Forum building and about a dozen other properties in the 2100 and 2200 blocks of Market Street.

Mine behaves identically. "Invert Selection" is not grayed out if your
selection is only one file. That is I believe the Windows way, but I can't
be sure. KDE seems to be copying Windows in a lot of ways.
What I do is to select all, then hold down
and deselect what I want
to keep.

Pre-sentencing arguments began Wednesday in the case of the Dorval teen who shot his brother in 2012.
The teen, whose name cannot be revealed under the youth protection act, has already served nearly one year in custody, and just over a month under house arrest with extended family.
Crown prosecutor Marie-Claude Bourassa told Judge Guy Lecompte Wednesday morning she would like the boy to be kept in open custody at a youth facility at least for another 18 months, followed by 18 months of probation.
She argued the boy continues to tell conflicting stories about the events when his brother was shot, as well as an armed robbery and shoplifting.
The stories he has told social workers and psychiatrists directly conflicts with the evidence that has already been presented in court.
The two experts who testified Wednesday, a social worker and psychiatrist, both believe the soon-to-be 14-year-old can be rehabilitated, but only with the right framework and support system.
Dr. Martin Giniac, the expert psychiatrist who testified, said the boy has certain troubles when facing violent scenarios.
"He needs to change the direction of his life," he told the judge. But he said it's still difficult to come up with a prognosis because of varying information from the boy regarding substance abuse.
"It's still not clear because he can't be honest," he said. We need to clear this question otherwise he will be in a grey zone."
Admission is the first step to rehabilitation, he said.
"[He] believes telling the truth will bring negative impacts in his life," Giniac said. "We want his reflex to be to tell the truth."
The doctor believes regular and intense therapy can treat the Dorval boy's issues.
"His insight is superficial, he admits he was involved [in the shooting], but it would be deeper to acknowledge what factors led to his behavior," the psychiatrist said.
"The boy's mother is too emotionally involved," the psychiatrist said answering questions if the boy could return home. That's when tears ran down the mother's face.
"He now has a strong support system [with the foster family]," he said. But the issue continues to be the boy's attitude towards treatment and rules for success.
The pre-sentencing arguments are expected to last the rest of the week.

CHAMBERSBURG - It was certainly a defensive battle as Mifflin County hit the road to take on Chambersburg in Mid-Penn Conference girls soccer Thursday.
It took 92 minutes into the Huskies' fifth game of the season, but Mifflin County was finally able to pull through. The locals rolled out of Chambersburg with a 2-1 Commonwealth Division victory in double overtime.
"We played well defensively all night and we were very organized in the back," Mifflin County coach Steven DeArment said. "We had to stick to the plan."
That's exactly what the Huskies did.
Mifflin County's Kaitlyn Eckley found some space in the middle just two minutes into the second overtime. She sidestepped a defender and let it fly from about 25 yards out. The Huskies had their first win.
"They were ecstatic," DeArment said of his girls reaction. "It's been a tough start to the season. These teams are super talented. To be able to go on the road in the Mid-Penn like this and get a win it really boosts their confidence."
Mackenzie Sweitzer scored Mifflin County's first goal with 12 minutes gone in the second half.
Mifflin County (1-4, 1-4) hosts State College Tuesday.
Girls soccer
Danville 2, Midd-West 1
MIDDLEBURG - Danville's Siobhan Bross scored a pair of unassisted goals to upend Midd-West, 2-0, in Heartland Conference Division 1 girls soccer action Thursday in Middleburg.
Bross scored with 3:15 to play in the first half. She got the Ironmen on the board again 10 minutes into the second.
"I wasn't disappointed in our loss tonight," Midd-West coach Russ Goodling said. "It's early and I know we have work to do. We'll just focus on that and get ready for the next one."
Midd-West won the JV game 1-0.
Midd-West (3-1, 2-1 HAC) hosts Bellefonte Saturday.
Boys soccer
Juniata 1, Millersburg 0
MILLERSBURG - It took nearly 74 minutes of play, but Juniata finally cashed in.
The Indians got a goal from Brand Brackbill with just over six minutes to play to take down Millersburg, 1-0, in Tri-Valley League action Thursday.
In a game that featured only 13 total shots, it was Juniata's control of the ball in the second half that led to the deciding goal.
"I thought we played well," Juniata coach Clint Brackbill said. "We came out a little sluggish and we're getting there."
Brand Brackbill took a give and go from the Juniata midfield and he beat the keeper high for the win.
"We were controlling the midfield and had an opening," Clint Brackbill said. "We had been pressing and it was nice to get that one."
Millersburg won the JV game.
Juniata ( 3-2, 2-2 TVL) hosts Line Mountain Thursday.
East Juniata 5, Upper Dauphin 1
COCOLAMUS - Upper Dauphin scored a goal on its only shot of the game. East Juniata didn't have quite that high a percentage, but when you take 35 tries at the net, you only need to hit so many.
The Tigers got five past the goalie, winning the Tri-Valley League boys soccer game 5-1.
East Juniata coach Don Troutman said the lone tally by the visitors wasn't really keeper Adam Strawser's fault.
"We passed it back to him at a very inopportune time," Troutman said. "He didn't even touch the ball in the second half."
He said the Tigers began by lacking intensity, not the high pressure offense he preaches.
"We weren't making real good decisions with our shot selection," he said. "The second half we played much, much better."
Multiple points went to Ben Auker and Nick Lorenz with two saves apiece, and to freshman Jake Sankey, who scored two in the contest.
"He scored two really nice goals tonight," Troutman said.
East Juniata also won the JV game, 1-0.
The Tigers (5-1, 4-0) host Lancaster Country Day today.
Belleville Mennonite 4, Columbia County Christian 1
BLOOMSBURG - Belleville Mennonite got a pair of goals each from Jung Kim and Andrew Miller en route to a 4-1 boys soccer win Thursday over Columbia County Christian.
Kim hit a strike six minutes into the match to put the Trojans up 1-0. That was it for the scoring in the first half.
"I thought we played well in the midfield today," Belleville Mennonite coach Brian Renno said. "It was nice to get that one right at the beginning."
Kim added his second goal just two minutes into the second half. From there, Miller found the net twice to put the game away for Belleville Mennonite.
"We moved the ball pretty well," Renno said. "I thought Jung played a really good game today. It was nice to see him get in the scoring column."
Belleville Mennonite (3-2) travels to York Christian School Saturday.
Selinsgrove 4, Midd-West 2
SELINSGROVE - Midd-West came within a goal after trailing Selinsgrove by two twice, but the first and fourth goals by the Seals did in the Mustangs in a Heartland Conference boys soccer match, which Selinsgrove won 4-2.
Three goals were scored across a span of seven minutes early in the first, with the initial Seals' goal looking like it was punched, not kicked, into the goal, Midd-West coach Chris Sauer said.
"The first goal was a killer. It was unfortunate," Sauer said. "That really took a lot of air out of us."
Tyler Arbogast brought his team back to a single-goal deficit, but the Seals put another one away before Trevor Stuck scored the last for the Mustangs.
"The second half we had them under pressure and had a lot of good chances," Sauer said, but the lone tally put the home team ahead by two for good.
Selinsgrove also won the JV game, 1-0.
Midd-West (3-3, 2-2) hosts Lewisburg Monday.
Greenwood 5, Halifax 0
HALIFAX - Coming off a 4-0 win over Upper Dauphin on Tuesday, the Greenwood boys soccer team notched is second shutout in a row when the Wildcats topped Tri-Valley League foe Halifax 5-0 on Thursday.
"This was a much more quality win.," said Greenwood coach Tom Magill.
"We kind of got going right from the beginning. (Halifax) hadn't lost yet, so it was a nice win for us. We got a contribution out of everybody."
It was 2-0 going into the half, but Greenwood really ran away with the game after the boys notched three more goals for a final score of 5-0.
Greenwood's Josh Ferguson had a hat trick, and Magill was also impressed with Jarrett Fortenbaugh's performance.
"I thought Jarrett Fortenbaugh did a good job of distributing the ball around to everyone, kind of making himself dangerous," Magill said.
Greenwood (3-1, 5-1) plays its first home match against Millersburg on Tuesday.
Field hockey
Newport 5, Juniata 0
NEWPORT - Newport held Juniata field hockey to no shots in a 5-0 Tri-Valley League win for the Buffaloes Thursday.
Newport found the net twice in the first half and three times in the second half. Juniata's Katie Searer made six saves for the locals. Juniata has now lost two straight games after starting 2-0.
Juniata (2-2, 0-2 TVL) travels to Huntingdon Monday.
Line Mountain 3, East Juniata 0
MANDATA - Sarah Lahr scored twice and East Juniata failed to record a shot as the Tigers fell to Line Mountain 3-0 in Tri-Valley League field hockey Thursday.
"Our defense once again played very well. But when we play most of the game in our defensive circle, sooner or later the other team is going to put one in," East Juniata coach Billie Haines. "Our focus next week is going to get the ball up the field and in the cage. I'm confident we will have this worked out by next week. We have three home games. It's going to be nice to play at home."
East Juniata (1-2, 0-2) hosts Lewisburg Monday.
Midd-West 2, Milton 0
MILTON - Midd-West rebounded from a tough loss in its Heartland Conference Division I opener, pelting the Milton goal with 19 shots and putting a pair of them in the cage Thursday for a 2-0 shutout.
Katelyn Walter, the only returning forward on the Mustangs' roster, had a goal and an assist. Candace Hackenberg scored the first one.
"Candace is a very pleasant surprise," Midd-West coach Mandi Romig said. "I think she's leading the team in goals right now."
Midd-West notched a shutout in the JV game as well, winning 3-0.
The Mustangs (3-2, 1-1) travel to Bloomsburg Saturday.
Greenwood 6, Lancaster Country Day 0
LANCASTER - Greenwood has been struggling in the first half as of late. But all that is forgotten when the second half begins.
The Wildcats scored five second-half goals en route to a 6-0 Tri-Valley League win over Lancaster Country Day Thursday.
"I thought we had a little trouble adjusting to the field," Greenwood coach Kent Houser said. "We were over-hitting the ball."
Mallory Fortenbaugh had Greenwood's only goal in the first half. When the Wildcats got things going, Taylor Thompkins, Brittany Fleisher (twice), Mackenzie Wirth and Katie Barton found the cage.
Greenwood (5-0-1, 2-0) travels to Juniata Tuesday.
Cross country
Boys: Philipsburg-Osceola 22, Mount Union 37
Girls: Philipsburg-Osceola 25, Mount Union 32
MOUNT UNION - A few different place finishes and Mount Union's cross country meet with Philipsburg-Osceola could have ended up the other way around.
Instead, Mount Union was defeated by the non-league foe in the boys and girls races. The boys fell 22-37, while the girls took a 25-32 defeat.
"Both races - a few different place finishes here or there - could have gone either way," Mount Union coach Bob Wydock said. "It was a close meet overall."
Mount Union's Katrina Hammon continued her strong season with an overall win in the girls side, posting a time of 24:26. The next closest Trojan finisher was Lauren Shugarts (25:29) in fourth.
"Katrina is a very strong runner," Wydock said. "She keeps putting forth the effort she needs to."
Ryan McKay came in second overall in the boys race with a time of 20:54.
Mount Union (Boys: 1-1; Girls 0-2) travels to Bellwood-Antis Tuesday.
East Juniata 332, Mount Union 347, Newport 373
MOUNT UNION - East Juniata coach Mike Zendt was waiting for this round of golf all season.
The Tigers shot a combined score of 332 at Mount Union's American Legion Country Club Thursday to defeat Mount Union (347) and Newport (373).
"I think we played our best round of golf ," Zendt said. "That was the best match of the year."
East Juniata's Dillon Leonard and Colton Fogleman led the way for the Tigers with an 82. Jeremy Pannebaker and Grant Leonard each fired an 84. The course plays at a par 74.
Mount Union's Alex Ashman also shot an 82. He was followed by Cole Boozel's 87 and Brady Goodling's 88. Ryan Barner finished the Trojan scoring with a 90.
East Juniata (16-1, 9-0 TVL) hosts a Tri-Valley League match Tuesday at Lost Creek Golf Club.
Mount Union 3, Williamsburg 1
WILLIAMSBURG - The Mount Union volleyball team came up with a 3-1 win over Inter-County Conference foe Williamsburg on Thursday.
The Trojans lost the third game, 20-25, but in every other game Mount Union won by a margin of at least seven points.
Mount Union coach Tessa McCormick was pleased with her team's performance in the three sets it won.
"Our passing was very good during those games, so we were able to set up our middle hitter, Kristen Miles, who had 11 kills tonight," McCormick said.
Mount Union (3-1, 2-1) travels to Hollidaysburg on Monday.

You can't improve scientific knowledge by running random experiments based on outlandish claims, you have to do so by positing an explanation of a mechanism in a feasible way and testing the universe to see if it follows your proposed rule.
In the modern version, it links the behaviour of the blood agglutination to lectins as a fact, in the original it is posed as a possibility that needed study. Knowing what we now do about lectins, this seems unlikely. However the fact is that he saw the physical change, and Dr Peter Adamo Snr was a blood work specialist. Whether that change was caused by bad practice or a real food connection is worth study in my opinion.
Also of note, all those type Os? He recommended a diet that reads as pure Paleo/Primal (recommnding dumping cereals and legumes), which would benefit a higher percentage of the population than the 1% Ancel Keyes believed to be aided by HCLF. A study done using his food recommendations would benefit HFLC scientific study as well.
Oh my lord, this is the funniest thread ever.
The blood type diet is quite possibly the stupidest, most absurd hypothesis ever to rear its ugly head. Seriously, if our good health depended on knowing our blood type and adhering thusly to a set of "good" and "bad" foods, how in the good goddamn did we ever survive and evolve as a species for this long, a time period in which we've known about blood types for the proverbial blink of an eye?! How anyone can believe in this stuff at all is completely beyond me.
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

|MLB debut
|July 28, 2003, for the Anaheim Angels
|Last MLB appearance
|June 25, 2010, for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
|MLB statistics
|Batting average
|Home runs

Robb William Quinlan (born March 17, 1977) is a former Major League Baseball utility player. He plays first base, third base, corner outfield, catcher and designated hitter.
Quinlan's older brother, Tom Quinlan, spent parts of four seasons in the major leagues with the Blue Jays, Phillies, and Twins.
High school and college[edit]
Quinlan attended Hill-Murray High School in Maplewood, Minnesota. At Hill-Murray High School he set the state and school record for consecutive time reaching base. In his junior year in 1994, Quinlan reached base 86 consecutive times, garnering praise from newspapers around the country. He was drafted by the California Angels in the 33rd round (900th overall) of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft out of high school and was offered $50, but did not sign with them. Instead, Quinlan decided to attend the University of Minnesota and graduated from there in 1999, obtaining a degree in marketing and communications.
While at Minnesota, he was selected to the Big Ten Conference All-Star team three times, in 1997, 1998, and 1999. In 1999, he was also Big Ten Conference Player of the Year after leading the conference in batting average at .416 and hits (92). Quinlan left as the Big Ten Conference's career leader in hits and Minnesota's career leader in hits, home runs, doubles, runs scored, RBI, total bases, and at-bats.[1]
He was drafted again by the Anaheim Angels in the 10th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball draft and signed on June 10.
Professional career[edit]
Minor leagues[edit]
In 1999, Quinlan played third base for the Low-A Boise Hawks making the Short-Season All-Star team and being named the Northwest League's MVP. He batted .322 with 9 home runs and 77 RBI. In 2000, he was promoted to High-A Lake Elsinore and moved to first base; he hit .317 with 85 RBI. Quinlan was promoted to Double-A Arkansas for 2001 and after a solid year, began 2002 with Triple-A Salt Lake as an outfielder.
2002 was a career year for Quinlan. He spent the entire year with Triple-A Salt Lake and hit .333, posting career-highs in home runs (20), RBI (112), hits (176), and triples (13). He was named Pacific Coast League Rookie of the Year, PCL MVP, and Anaheim Angels Minor League Player of the Year. He was also named a Triple-A All-Star, PCL All-Star, and one of Baseball America's 1st team minor league All-Stars.
Quinlan started 2003 in the minors with Triple-A Salt Lake, but after batting .310, he was called up to the majors where he spent the rest of the year. He began 2004 with Triple-A again, but was called up to the majors after 27 games.
Major leagues[edit]
Quinlan made his major league debut on July 28, 2003, and hit .287 for the rest of the year. After starting 2004 in Triple-A, he was called up the first week in May. He had a 21-game hit streak in 2004 from July 7 to August 10 which is the longest by an Angels rookie in club history, and was the longest by any rookie in the majors since Ichiro Suzuki (23) in 2001.[2] On August 17, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a torn oblique muscle,[2] causing him to miss the rest of the year. For the season, Quinlan batted .344, including .407 in July, with 5 home runs and 23 RBI.
In 2005, Quinlan, playing part-time, saw his batting average drop over 100 points to .231 and missed time with a bulging disk and inflamed shoulder. He rebounded in 2006 with a .321 average and saw a career-high in playing time with 234 at-bats in 86 games. Quinlan signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract before the 2007 season avoiding arbitration, but his batting average slumped again to .247. In 2008, he played in 68 games mostly at third base and slightly improved his average to .262.
After the 2009 baseball season Quinlan filed for free agency for the first time in his career.
On February 11, 2010, Quinlan agreed to a minor league contract to return to the Angels. He was added to the Major League roster at the end of spring training. On September 7, 2010, Quinlan was released by the Angels.[3]
Quinlan signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies with an invitation to spring training for the 2011 season.[4]
March 11, 2011 – The Phillies reassigned Robb Quinlan and his agent asked for his release. The Phillies granted it. [5]
Quinlan is now the first base coach for Minnesota, his alma mater.

Kentucky has gone from the No. 1 team in the preseason polls to a shaky No. 8 seed in March Madness in 2014, then bounced all the way back to earn a Final Four trip.
After beating three consecutive conference champions, the freshmen-driven Wildcats face a veteran Wisconsin squad led by surprise tourney hero Frank Kaminsky.
Kaminsky and the Badgers' slowdown offense will provide a very different kind of challenge for John Calipari's young roster. Andrew Harrison and the aggressive Wildcats defenders must be ready to work for 35 seconds on every possession Saturday night, or else the high-precision Badgers shooters will pick them apart.
Read on for more on the unique problems of facing Wisconsin's attack, along with three more key elements of a game plan that will earn Kentucky a spot in the national title game.

Darren Reynolds, writing on LibDemVoice:
"According to the Office of National Statistics, every day about 1,400 people die in the UK. Of these, about 440 are from heart disease, 370 are from cancer and 260 are from diseases of the brain or stroke. Beyond that, there is death and great suffering caused by a huge range of other illnesses.
Of the total number of deaths, precisely none are from terrorism this year. Not since 7th July 2005 have people suffered in this way. Then, whilst the 52 victims and their families were part of a great tragedy, the tragedy of 1,400 people dying daily in the UK from other causes is surely as great."

I don't really see a way how you could. Perhaps sociology and geography (the human side), but I can't see psychology and geography ever being combined.
Don't worry too much about combining subjects, it's not majorly important. If you think you'll enjoy both geography and psychology, just take them.
You can combine pretty much everything with geography, since there's a spatial dimension to everything. There are researchers in psychological geography, in Cambridge for example. On the other hand, you could research the psychological effects of the visualization of space, a rather famous topic is the mechanism of "lying with maps".
If you think about it I am sure you will be able to find some more stuff. Be creative.

Two men from Berks County are under arrest after, police say, they were selling cocaine from homes in Reading.
Juan Garcia Morales and Nemorio Cisneros-Torres are under arrest.
Police say undercover agents bought cocaine from the pair three times since September.
When authorities raided their homes Tuesday, bulk amounts of cocaine were found, along with scales and a gun, police said.
Both were later determined to have entered the country illegally from Mexico.

Staff and bar staff were fabulous - couldn't fault anyone.
Restaurant staff and food great.
The worst thing for us was the way some people decided that the double lounge chairs were theirs and often saved them by putting books and towels on them early in the morning which has always been a no no on other ships, but we did sort that lot out.
We anchored in Padang Bay, Bali, Indonesia so there wasn't much to see here.
Also called into Sandakan Malaysia for just a few hours. We wanted to visit the proboscis monkeys but didn't have enough time so just visited the orangutans in the forest. Only saw three so wasn't really worth the effort

Netflix Prices Settling Into Three Tiers
For regular Fairer Platform readers, this isn't news. Rather it's confirmation of something we already knew — that Netflix prices are congealing around three tiers of service. Here's the all but official and finalized dish.
GigaOM, ever a great source of cord cutting news, is reporting Netflix has all but made it official — the leading on-demand video streaming will offer three tiers of service.
"Last April we introduced a 4-concurrent stream $11.99 option to begin our evaluation of plan tiering. Since late last year, we have also been testing 1-stream and 3-stream variants, as well as SD/HD variations, at various price points," wrote CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells in a Netflix press release. "Eventually, we hope to be able to offer new members a selection of three simple options to fit everyone's taste."
We first got wind of the move late last month when Netflix began offering a single-screen $7 SD video tier to new customers. If the policy holds, Netflix prices will be set at $7, $8 (2 HD streams) and $12 (4 HD streams).
Additionally, Netflix announced back in September that Ultra HD video would be available to HD customers with connections fast enough to support that level of quality. In practical terms, few qualify, but it's one heckuva gesture and a wedge Netflix can use to drive the adoption of faster broadband speeds.
Liking Netflix prices more than ever or do you need more than a token dollar discount at the low end?

Celine Dion I Want to Keep Trying
Balancing Grueling Fertility Treatments and Planning a New Vegas Show, the 41-Year-Old Pop Star Opens Up About Her Dream of Giving René-Charles a Sibling. No Matter What Happens, She Says, 'I'm More Than Blessed'
Dion was devastated, but given that her son, 9-year-old René-Charles, was downstairs waiting to leave for Disney World, the singer had to keep her feelings in check. "I didn't want to get into the emotion—it wasn't time to cry about something that didn't work," she recalls. Instead she reached for a silver lining: "I said to him, 'The bad news is Mommy isn't pregnant. But the good news is I'm going to be able to go on every ride with you!' And I did. We had a ball."
Almost two months later Dion is preparing to take another roller-coaster ride. Her film Celine: Through the Eyes of the World, which documents her recent yearlong 132-date tour, hits theaters Feb. 17, and she'll kick off a new Las Vegas show in 2011. As her career moves on, she has also decided to give her dream of a second baby another chance. "Not like forever, 17 times," says Dion. But "I'm going to try until it works."
In January Dion, 41, began the grueling process of preparing her body for her fifth IVF attempt in six months: estrogen patches, blood tests every other day ("Your veins get weak"), frequent ultrasounds and daily hormone injections. "It's not, 'Oh, poor Celine,' but it's a lot," she says, touching her bruised thighs, which are numb and full of lumps from the long needles that go deep into the muscle. "I give the shots to myself. But René's with me." The hormones that help make a pregnancy possible also bring a tidal wave of emotions; sometimes Dion cries for no reason at all. "We go crazy waiting for the results," says Angélil, 68. "It's like waiting for the lotto, but it's bigger than that—imagine. It's the biggest news you can get." Says Dion: "You do everything [right], and you're careful, and you rest, and then ..."
Her first IVF attempt in August, in fact, seemed to work. News of her pregnancy leaked to the press, so Dion felt an obligation to her fans to confirm it, only to lose the pregnancy days later. She and Angélil decided to try again the next month. "Everybody's calling to congratulate me, they're sending balloons and gifts, and I don't return their calls to thank them. How do I do that?" she says. "I felt bad because I was not pregnant."
Nor is her struggle easy for Dion to explain to her son, whom she calls R.C. "He said, 'Wasn't it supposed to be 100 percent?'" she says. "I said, 'It's like nature, a little flower grows and then too much wind and then ... [But] another one's going to grow.'"
The couple's second and third procedures last fall were also unsuccessful, and with a new Vegas show deal in the works by then, Dion thought their fourth round of IVF in December would be their last. Learning that it had also failed felt like "an end to motherhood. I found it really hard," says the singer, who grew up with 13 siblings. So when Angélil—who says they're "not really" considering adoption—told her over the holidays that he wanted to try again, she was overjoyed. "There's something inside of me that says [not to] give myself that pressure, that it's my last time," she says, adding that doctors say they were "extremely lucky" to become pregnant with R.C. on their first IVF try 10 years ago and that four or five attempts are not uncommon for couples with fertility issues. "She knows a lot of women have this problem," says her sister Manon, 49. Adds Dion: "We would love to expand our family. But honestly I'm more than blessed with my son. He is everything for me."
So much so that the world's top earner in album and concert sales for the last decade wakes up at the very un-showbiz hour of 6:30 a.m. every weekday to drive her son to "his first normal school" (he was home-schooled in Las Vegas and on her world tour) 10 minutes from their home in Jupiter, Fla. When R.C. isn't manipulating music on his computer or deejay table ("Rihanna's big-time in our house," she says), he's playing golf, basketball and, more recently, baseball and soccer. The second grader is sleeping in his parents' bed (along with the family's 5-month-old female yellow Lab, Charlie) while he adjusts to his new surroundings after living on the road for so long. "I'm more than fine with it," says Dion. "I have my two boys with me, the dog that snores, a fish tank that bubbles, the pet rat Lionel that scratches—everybody's with Mommy! There's a lot of action!" she laughs. "It's not about beauty sleep anymore. When they're not there, you miss it so much."
That's why Angélil, who's also her manager, scheduled Dion's upcoming Vegas show—which will include favorites from her own repertoire plus hit movie songs—around their son's school schedule. The Caesars Palace residency will launch March 15, 2011, with or without a baby in tow, and will include about 70 performances a year. Says Dion: "I'll balance my showbiz life with my most important job: motherhood."
To that end, she's hoping the fifth IVF try's the charm. "We tell her, 'Cross your fingers—and your legs!'" says her sister Manon. Plus, "Five's my lucky number, so this is the time it's got to [work]," says Dion. "We would love for my son to have a brother or sister—no rats, no dogs, no fish can replace that, you know? But you don't control. It's up to God.... One way or another we're going to be good."

Not sure how they can be blamed for being put on a certain line by the coach.

This is starting to turn into Hfboads with the Babcock hate.. its ridiculous.
I think in this case, the criticism is justified. For one, he's trying to not take responsibility. To me, not acceptable for a head coach. Secondly, the Cleary, Dastyuk, Abdelkader line CLEARLY is not working. Though I'm far from a hockey expert, Tatar seemed to add energy and a viable offensive threat to the team that is sorely lacking scoring. I'm not at all the *hater* type but some of these moves are baffling to say the least. I almost feel like Babcock is saying here you go Kenny, this is the s*** you're giving me, I'm going to play them and play them. Either that or he's channeling his inner Jim Leyland and his unfathomable loyalty to Brandon Inge.

"Sammy, you want to play?"
"No no, I need to be home so I can count out the money Kenny gave me!"
Detroit Free Press headline: Mikael Samuelsson sprains wrist stacking hundred-dollar bills from his 3M dollar paycheck. Won't require surgery - out indefinitely.
But in all seriousness, if what Babs says was true Tatar would be on one of the top two lines.

Success has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan.
We not score, is hard to win. - Pavel Datsyuk #13
Posted 13 March 2013 - 09:29 PM
According to Babs Tatar needed to get sent down because with Flip back in the lineup there's just no opportunity for Tatar on the powerplay. Yet here I saw Nyquist getting PP time, and he so obviously deserves it over Tatar.
Also, why is Tootoo not playing? Must be he didn't earn it.

Difference between '\n' and '\r\n' ...
I recently faced a problem regarding these 2 Escape Sequences. So, I thought I should share the difference between these two to clarify to all who may hay have confusion like me.
Thanks to Shabbir too......
The Difference
There are a few characters which can indicate a new line. The usual ones are these two:
* '\n' or '0x0A' (10 in decimal) -> This character is called "Line Feed" (LF).Different Operating Systems handle newlines in a different way. Here is a short list of the most common ones:
* DOS and WindowsThey expect a newline to be the combination of two characters, namely '\r\n' (or 13 followed by 10).
* Unix (and hence Linux as well)Unix uses a single '\n' to indicate a new line.
* MacMacs use a single '\r'.
This difference gives rise to a number of problems. For example, a file created under Unix (so with newlines as a single LF) will not open correctly under Window's Notepad. Any Windows program that expects newlines to be CRLF will not work correctly with these files.
To unify things a bit, so that writing portable C/C++ programs is possible, file streams have both a "translated" and an "untranslated" mode. If you open a file in translated mode, the runtime library will convert a '\n' to the appropriate newline character(s). If the following program is compiled under Unix, the file will contain a single LF to indicate the newline. If it's compiled under windows, it will contain a CRLF.
#include <stdio.h>
H e l l o W o r l d CR LF
In practice
In Windows you have to pass multi-line strings with '\r\n', otherwise the system functions don't recognize them correctly as multi-line. This is true e.g. for setting the text of Edit controls, Labels, Windows etc. Also, when you read multi-line text from a file that initially contains '\r\n' in translated mode, the string in memory will contain only a single '\n'. See for example the documentation on MSDN about 'fread()':
Re: Difference between '\n' and '\r\n ...
Nicely explained.

JACKSON, MI – Springport High School softball coach JoDee Johnston spent most of last season trying to fill a giant hole left when Sam Bates was lost to injury.
Johnston hopes this season will not feature a similar challenge as Bates, a two-time all-state pitcher, is healthy and ready to lead the Spartans on a deep postseason run.
Bates missed much of last season with a broken rib that she suffered during basketball season but was misdiagnosed. She missed 12 games during the softball season, returning to the lineup May 14 and then to the mound May 25.
She helped Springport reach its Division 3 regional championship game.
"She's one of the best pitchers in the state and offensively, she's a major threat, so it hurt us all the way around," Johnston said. "She'll be good to go. We're planning on having her, she looks good and she seems like where she should be, so hopefully she can go out with a bang."
As a sophomore, Bates led the Spartans to the state semifinals, where they came up one run short to Gladstone 5-4. With Bates healthy and three seniors – Taylor Heisler, Kim Keeler and Erin Shafer – returning from that semifinal team, the Spartans are geared for another push for a Division 3 state title.
"It's kind of unspoken, because we don't want to jinx it," Johnston said of getting back to the final four. "We have always had the highest expectations, and with these girls that have been around since freshmen and sophomores, we have high goals this year."
The Spartans finished last season at 16-10, runner-up to Concord in the Big Eight Conference, and secured a district title with a 5-4 win over Dansville. The season ended with a 7-3 loss to Grandville Calvin Christian.
With a healthy squad this year, Johnston is looking for conference and district titles – and more.
"We have talked about winning the Big Eight and a district title, and it's just not enough," Johnston said. "If we won just both of those, it wouldn't be a good year for this group, because we know we can achieve more."

Here's a question I get often from my Write for Magazines e-course students: When I want to pitch an idea, do I come up with the idea or the market first?
And it's a good question. Doesn't it make more sense to find one market you really want to pitch, study it, and brainstorm appropriate ideas? Or, wait — maybe it's more efficient to find an idea and then tweak it to fit the publications you love.
The answer is, you need to do whichever works for you.
In Write for Magazines, I have students brainstorm three ideas — which I critique — choose one, and then find five markets for it…because that's the way I've always done it. I can't stop the ideas from flowing in, so I like to write them down, filter through them to pick the best ones, and then brainstorm markets.
But some writers have trouble coming up with ideas they like, and having a magazine in front of you can be a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Looking at ads, reading articles, and scanning the masthead can often spark a salable idea. And the good news is that even if you develop an idea specifically for this one market, chances are it will work in others with a little tweaking. Kelly James-Enger of the Dollars and Deadlines blog is a proponent of this method.
So whichever mode works for you, don't worry — as long as you end up with salable ideas and markets to send them to, you're fine.
