CCC cheerleader tryouts are May 1-2
Coahoma Community College is excited to begin a campaign aimed at bolstering its Cheerleading program beginning this year, with scholarships available for young men and women looking to help the college promote its Athletic Program and the fundamental ideals of Tiger Nation.
The college has hired a new cheerleading coach, and has high expectations for her as she enters her first season.
"I was so excited when I was approached with this opportunity," said new Coach Felicia Johnson, who is a former CCC Cheerleader and graduate in the class of 1989. "I had so much fun as a Tiger cheerleader when I attended Coahoma, I never wanted to leave the campus.

Essential advice for David Cameron
"Britain's modern party leaders are not ousted by stalking horses; they are dragged from their beds in the dead of night, and shot in the courtyard with a Sky News helicopter overhead." -- Former New Labour heavyweight and Gordon Brown acolyte Damian McBride explains how to survive a coup attempt when you're prime minister.

The tale of the day eight years ago when Gordon Brown went to Washington and heard that Tony Blair wasn't going to stand down for him ahead of the 2005 general election, as told by Brown's former special advisor Damian McBride. [more inside]

The San Diego Chargers had an overall disappointing season in 2010, as they failed to win their fifth straight division title, and they failed to make the playoffs. The team couldn't overcome a very slow start, and they just couldn't overcome the up and coming Kansas City Chiefs. Yet they finished number one overall on team offense and defense, so the future still looks bright in San Diego.
Phillip Rivers had the best season of his career in 2010, throwing for over 4700 yards and a 101.8 quarterback rating. With him at the helm, the Chargers will always have a chance to reach the Super Bowl, but he hasn't taken them to one yet. Ryan Matthews didn't have the impact expected of him last year, and the Chargers missed having LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield. Mike Tolbert played pretty well, and the running back tandem of him and Matthews looks at least adequate moving forward.
Their top receivers missed a lot of time with injuries and suspensions in 2010, and I doubt that Malcolm Floyd will be back now that Vincent Jackson has been franchised. The rest of the receivers aren't overly impressive, but if they can stay healthy they can provide decent depth. Antonio Gates is still one of the top tight ends in the game, and Randy McMichael is a solid backup.
The offensive line is pretty solid overall, with Marcus McNeil and Kris Dielman holding down the left side, and Nick Hardwick and Louis Vasquez providing stability at the center and left guard positions. The right tackle spot isn't locked down, but Brandyn Dombrowski played solid there last year.
Luis Castillo is still a solid performer at defensive end, but the other end position is a giant question mark. Jacques Cesaire didn't play well in 2010, and he most likely won't be back next year, so an upgrade will be needed. Antonio Garay played pretty solid at the nose tackle position in 2010, and he may have the starting spot locked down heading into the 2011 season. Shaun Phillips is a pro bowl caliber linebacker on the outside, but Larry English hasn't played up to expectations so the Chargers may look to bring in some competition for him.
Kevin Burnett and Stephen Cooper played well in 2010, but both of them are free agents, as is top backup Brandon Siler. This position is a question mark as of now, as nobody knows whether Burnett and/or Cooper will be back. The starting cornerbacks are solid with both Antoine Cason and Quentin Jammer.
The depth isn't overly impressive anymore now that Antonio Cromartie is in New York. Eric Weddle played very well last season, and he will most likely be back even though he is a free agent. Paul Oliver, Steve Gregory, and Bob Sanders will battle for the other spot. Sanders is by far the most talented of the three, but it remains to be seen how long he can stay healthy.

Sofla Kingz
Barrio brothers Tropyco and Bombillo, better known as the Sofla Kingz, have released a CD just in time to capitalize on the current Latin explosion in hip-hop and the rising popularity of reggaeton. The Sofla Kingz have previously distributed their mixtapes all over South Florida for free, but this is their first CD of original songs available for sale.
They've got some good beats, too. The best bangers are "Tirate," produced by Gorilla Tek, and "Pa La Calle," which features Miami MCs Virus and Laria and production by DJ Mingo. The song moves seamlessly from a reggaeton rhythm to a live salsa piano sequence to a "from the bottom to the top, the top to the bottom" NYC hip-hop groove. Self-produced cuts such as "Lemonheadz," "Tam Tam," "No Me Diga," and "Cojelo Suave" are bubbling, too.
The group's comedic narrative approach, in the spirit of D12 and Ludacris, is especially well developed in cuts such as "Whassamatta," another winning song produced by Drop that features Mexican-style guitar licks. Though the several comic skits (5 in a 21-cut LP) get tiring after a while, 3 of them are hilarious, especially one re-enacting that popular scam of Miami panhandlers who "run out of gas" near gas stations and ask for "gas" money. It's precisely this attention to detail that enables Sofla Kingz to represent these streets.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
As a previous review said, these run very small. I ordered for my son at 1/2 size bigger (13.5) than street size shoes (13). Came at least 1 size smaller than street shoes and at least 1 size smaller than ABT shoes that are a similar style (but are 12.5 size).
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I just received these shoes in the mail and they look and feel nice but seem to run very small. I ordered my child's shoe size (perhaps even a little larger than her shoe size) and they are way too small. I would order at least a half size up.

If I heard the song without seeing the video, I would have had a hard time believing it was sung by an Asian pop group and not one of America's R&B groups. All I can say is I am not surprised this video is so popular plus the song is very catchy 😉

Organizing Helpers: Reusable Tote Bags
Singla bag, from Ikea Don't let its light weight fool you. This is one of my favorite errand bags. Here's why. It mimics traditional department store / retail bags. Stiffer walls and a flat base keep it standing while you fill it without drooping over like most canvas bags. Its smooth walls and rectangular shape keep purchases and returns sitting neatly. Canvas bags tend to jumble contents, especially clothing, and rough up corners of boxed items. This bag also folds completely flat for tidy and compact storage. $1.99 • Boat and Tote Bag, Open-Top from L.L. Bean This is the mother of all canvas totes. Made of heavy-duty cotton canvas and double-layer base and handles, it's been around for over 65 years and originally designed to haul ice from the car to the ice chest. $20.95 - $38.95 • Allary Imports Project Tote from Allary Imports This project bag has 10 external pockets to organize projects and tools. It even has elastic cording through grommets to keep taller items inside the pockets. $7.26 • Canvas Shoulder Tote w/ Multiple Pockets from CYMA Eight pockets makes this bag handy, and longer handles allow for shoulder carrying. $6.99 • Canvas Pocket Tote Bag from Canvas Corp This classic natural tote bag allows you to decorate and personalize for a fun DIY project.

The New York Rangers used a fast start and a furious finish to put away the lowly Florida Panthers and lock up a victory they had to have in the push for the playoffs. Derick Brassard and Rick Nash scored power-play goals in the opening 10 minutes, and Mats Zuccarello, Brassard and Brad Richards turned a tight game into a rout with goals 3:25 apart late in the third period of the Rangers' 6-1 victory on Thursday night.

Employees increasingly demand transparent, real-time, communication of news and information. At the same time, the growing complexity of communications platforms and behaviors makes it harder to reach everyone in a global workforce. For many of our clients, large numbers of employees don't even have corporate email, let alone intranet access. Our goal is to connect all employees with the company news and information they need to thrive, wherever and however they consume content.
Who we are, what we're up to, where we're falling short and where we're winning: it's the content we need to know to be productive. And delivering it into the hands of the people who can make use of it is what we're all about.
Nothing drives accountability more effectively than the simple truth. It's how we work with our customers and it's how we communicate internally. By collaborating, telling honest, sometimes challenging truths. It just works better.
There has never been a better time to go to work. Cubicle walls are dropping, exposing us to new ideas in new ways. Timezones and locations are not limiting factors. We find value in output instead of hours. And this is just the beginning.
We believe that mistakes are strategic insights. We celebrate trying shit. We embrace a culture of experimentation, testing learning and making the better mistakes that will lead to the unforeseeable breakthroughs.
If we're going to work on it, let's own it. And then let's give credit where credit is due. Let's celebrate individual achievements, big and small. We're creating the platform that empowers our peers to do their best work.
The world of work is evolving every day. It's forcing us to stay creative, to adapt and improve our work constantly. We don't know the future, but we're excited to be building a cornerstone of how we'll stay connected to our work as we get there.
We find companies fascinating. Big or small, whatever the mission, the business of companies gets us up in the morning. We're excited to build software with the flexibility to help any company gain the competitive edge achieved when its people are better connected to their work.
The better connected we are, to our work and to each other, the more we'll accomplish. It's our guiding principle. We create the platform that combines best-of-breed software with any company's "what matters" content to produce an inspiring, daily-read that motivates individuals to create the best work of their lives.

In 2012, we built the first version of our software for companies looking to better manage their social advocacy programs. A handful of Fortune 500 companies signed on. Life was good.
We got tons of product feedback and feature requests – but stayed 100% focused on the employee experience – we wanted it to feel like a consumer app. Now over 100 companies have launched their internal employee engagement and advocacy programs on our software.
Our hard-earned but sudden success was built on the realization that getting employees to share company content starts with providing them with a regular connection to the company-related news and content they care about. And that's what our next generation platform for employee advocacy—the employee newsreader for work—is all about.
We set out to create a work-centered newsreader that delivers a user experience as robust and engaging as Buzzfeed or Flipboard—and I'm proud to say we've delivered.
By providing a fun and easy way to get a daily fix about what's happening at work, our app helps every employee in your organization answer an important question: "What do I need to know today?"
It's visual. It's relevant. It's social. It's mobile. And best of all, it truly connects your people to their lives at work.
SocialChorus helps 12 of the Fortune 100 companies boost employee engagement, loyalty and advocacy.
At SocialChorus, we're always looking to add to our talented team. See our open positions below.

By Jack K. Merrill, Esq.
In 2015, new laws and court decisions again brought big changes to employer/employee relationships. The net effect will likely be to increase the burden on Massachusetts businesses.
The biggest change should be familiar to all – the law requiring that all employees earn sick leave and that many of them be paid for using it. Massachusetts also amended its maternity leave statute to formally cover men on the same terms as women. Meanwhile, the state's minimum wage rate continued its rise. Offsetting these changes to some degree are court interpretations of the independent contractor law that limits its applicability in two industries.
Here's a summary of some but not all employment law developments from 2015.
Sick Leave
The statute that took effect on July 1, 2015 requires all employers to provide sick leave benefits to their employees. Accrual must occur at a rate of no less than one hour for every 30 worked, and, for employers of 11 or more workers, the time off must be paid. The statute places substantial limits on employer authority to challenge sick leave use, which need not be medically supported until it exceeds three consecutive work days. Since all employers must implement written policies, it's more important than ever that all have employee manuals, regardless (almost) of company size. [Read more…]

I have often asked myself how can a company that was so promising become such a POS?????
The only answer that I can give is that GERN management has been and continues to be the worst in the business field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really puts salt into the wounds that they think that they are doing such a good job that they give themselves bonuses and raises EVERY year.
Go Figure!!!!!!
Of course, IMO.
Just wondering how long before GERN goes belly-up?
Anyone care to comment?
Oh, what could have been!!!
Black, you know im a fan of restarting opc1. Well now that everyone involved with grn1005 is gone and the earmarked money to fund it doesn't need to be spent on it and seeing that imetelestat showed problems in the past im just wondering how much money it would cost to restart hesc. I bet that if chip were to get in front of the microphone and tell everyone that hesc was back in the pipeline that investors would start buying again.
How much money was 1005 supposed to cost?
How much money would it take to finish opc1 ph1 with dose escallation.
Sentiment: Hold
The company has 90 million in cash.
By dropping GRN1005 they have reduced their burn rate enough that they have enough on hand to go another 2 1/2 years before they absolutely have to raise more money.
To restart the OPC1 trial would cut that time in half, and unless there is a catalyst in the next twelve months to move the share price seriously up they will either have to dilute a huge amount to get cash or be bought out for peanuts.
I don't see that kind of catalyst in the next 12 months, even though the ET data looks very good and the hope that Imetelstat can be shown effective in short Telomere solid tumors looks promising. Getting that to the clinic and then conclusive results will take a while.
I doubt that restarting the program would give the share price much of a boost since the lack of cash should be a negative to most investors
The only way I see Geron restarting the OPC1 program is if CIRM offers to foot the entire bill.
Geron really has tossed the esc program overboard, scientists laid off and equipment sold for peanuts at auction.
The best chance for OPC1 is with Okarma and West who really are believers in stem cells.
Sentiment: Buy
jss: I just don't believe that anything related to stem cells will save GERN right now. It would take too much time to restart the program, etc.
I think that the only hope is that some treatment related to 163L shows significant success and then GERN is bought by a big pharm.
Of course, IMO.

Do you have a potty mouth? Does that carry over when you write product reviews online?
Apparently it does for shoppers from New Zealand, Romania and the Philippines, who were found to be the most foul-mouthed when reviewing purchases online, according to global social commenting platform Reevoo. The company, which works with numerous well-known brands, extracted data from nearly 4 million reviews from all over the world and calculated how many were rejected for profanity over the course of last year.
Romanian, Czech and Russian-speaking people swore more than French, Spanish and English speakers when reviewing a product online. Finland and Japan were the countries with the cleanest-mouthed product reviewers. Americans didn't crack the profanity top 10 -- Canadians were more likely to use expletives when commenting on a purchase.
"The number of shoppers who read and write comments is growing exponentially as consumers look to make more informed decisions," says Richard Anson, founder of Reevoo. "More online reviews mean more are sharing their experiences and sentiments about their purchases. It's great to see the passion people have when writing reviews, but we recommend keeping a level head and avoiding offensive language."

2 'persons of interest' sought in El Rey fire
Milwaukee police said Friday they are seeking two "persons of interest" in connection with the suspected overnight arson at the El Rey grocery store at 5200 W. Oklahoma Ave. that caused an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 in damage.
Store videos released by police show two white males bundled in coats and hoods loitering outside the store, walking back and forth, and then running shortly before flames shoot out from an area outside the store where grocery carts are kept.

Economy adds 155,000 jobs; jobless rate remains 7.8%
The nation's slow-growth recovery lumbered into its 34th consecutive month of subpar job creation last month as employers added 168,000 private-sector jobs and the unemployment rate remained stuck at 7.8%.
In a sign of continuing government austerity, public-sector employment fell by an estimated 13,000 in December and lost 68,000 over the course of last year, according to government data released Friday. That meant total nonfarm employment, which includes both government and private employers, increased by only 155,000 in December, which is too few to meaningfully lower the unemployment rate in any given month. »Read Full Article(471)

No one wants to overpay for a product or service. But how do you know you're getting the best rate? And if you're not being offered the lowest price, how do you negotiate it?
Answer: You can't know — but you can haggle. And how!
A recent survey suggests a quarter of consumers go online to find the lowest price on an item, but it doesn't say if they find it. Maybe that's because the answer is unknowable. Businesses, it turns out, can't be sure if their prices are the lowest, or even if an item that's on sale will be profitable.

REPORTER: Not bad for a first outing.
REDMAN: Yeah it beats throwing in my pitching tunnel back at home and trying to simulate hitters and everything. I felt good. All along I've been keeping up with what other pitchers were doing, inning-wise and pitch count-wise and trying to simulate that at home on my pitching mound. When the opportunity opened, it looked like a good opportunity for me to step right up in there and make a good impression to make a team.
REPORTER: Who did you have hitting against you in simulated games?
REDMAN: I don't have anybody. I had a neighbor try to take some batting practice off me, and he sure did make me feel good.
REPORTER: How surprised were you to be home on March 9th?
REDMAN: Well I was surprised back on February 15th when the teams started playing. You sort of view a market, and you can't change the perception that is on you by the scouting departments on different teams. The only way to change it is by having an opportunity to pitch for a good team and basically change that perception out on that mound.
REPORTER: I guess no one can have more motivation than you have right now.
REDMAN: I love it too because I tell you what it stinks going into March 9th not knowing who you're going to be with. At the same token, it was very motivating. You just have to make the best of it and learn from your mistakes or experiences during the course of free agency. I think if you look at it more of an opportunity because it opens up different doors in the way you think and the way you approach the game. You do not want you to take it for granted.
REPORTER: When you heard Mike Hampton got injured, did a little light go off in your head?
REDMAN: Actually we've tried to call Atlanta all along, even before Mike went down. I've played in the National League East and had good success. I had success in Turner Field. The two years I've been in the National League I've pitched well. I just need to be on a good solid defensive and run producing team and I think that's what the Braves have to offer. With this revamped bullpen, I think when my pitch count is up or when Bobby comes and gets the ball out of my hand we can finish strong.
REPORTER: What was the interest from the teams during the winter?
REDMAN: I think it was more touch and feel. I think with all the big free agency signings, you're ceiling starts going up. You're like, 'well if this guy got that much and he had this ERA similar,' then you're like, 'well shoot, I had a winning record on a losing team.' The ERA wasn't that great. I also came back early from an injury. I wasn't quite ready. In your eyes you start seeing these guys getting these dollar figures and what you would have signed for at the end of the season versus what you're seeing out there, you're ceiling just goes up. It's the way your eyes see it, but in actuality it's not the way the important eyes see it. It is what it is, in that sense. I don't know why it didn't work out or the interest wasn't there. But this is the way you create interest is having this great motivation. You just can't take things for granted. You sure appreciate things when something like this happens.
REPORTER: Do you think being with the Royals last year had anything to do with it?
REDMAN: No. I don't think being with the Royals at all hurt me. I was having fun there. I had a winning record there. The ERA wasn't great, but it was probably the best hitting division that I had to pitch in and facing these teams. I've dealt with some issues. I dealt with my knee issue. I dealt with the issue of the cancer with my mom. Then the two surgeries my dad had, two life-threatening surgeries in June. I had a lot of things to deal with. I'm not trying to throw excuses out. But one thing I wanted to say was I picked up a cutter on August 16th. Stats don't know when I picked this up. They don't know the kind of success I had with this. I picked it up and had eight games with it. During these eight games, I had one bad game. One bad game; unfortunately I gave up nine runs and only got one out. But take that out of the factor and in those other seven games is a 3.78 ERA facing the Twins twice, Toronto, Oakland, Boston, and Chicago; facing teams that are stacked. So I look stuff like that to encourage me to be motivated about what you have to offer. I finished the season strong with this new pitch looking forward to this season. I was more prepared for this season than any year in my career, but I just didn't have a team.
REPORTER: Did adding that cutter make you feel more of a complete pitcher?
REDMAN: Yeah I threw a shutout against the Twins with it. I came back two starts later and threw eight innings with two runs against the Twins with it. I threw well against Chicago with it. It is just a really strong pitch to incorporate. It compliments the fastball inside. It keeps them from diving for it. Even if I get behind, I'd throw the cutter and it looks like it's coming right down the middle and it starts cutting into the inner part of the plate on righties. They're getting themselves out by leaning over. It opened up a whole new avenue for me. It seemed to work well. The scouting department and teams don't know when I picked that up. If only they had asked, "hey when did you pick that up?' I guess I'm more optimistic in a way of thinking about things. I look at the positive side of things and build off that. But you have to throw the nine run game out equation.
REPORTER: How did that pitch work today?
REDMAN: I hit two guys with it. It didn't feel pretty good. At least I didn't walk anyone. It's a touch-and-feel pitch. With the adrenaline that was out there with me, excited to be in camp, with the lack of sleep… I got on the plan last night at 5:00 and I got into my hotel at 4:00 this morning. I had airline troubles and rental car troubles. With that said, I had my alarm set at 8:00 am and had to go take a physical.
REPORTER: What do you think the scout's perceptions of you were?
REDMAN: I have no idea. It's sort of like what one writer may be saying about you versus what another writer might be saying about you. It's the same with the perception of scouts. Some scouts might see you as a decent pitcher, while others might view you differently. It is what it is. The only way around it is proving it out there, and that's the motivation that I have. It's nothing to prove to anyone, but I've just got to show myself and appreciate this part of the game. You can't take this for granted. It opens up your eyes in a respect factor for the game and how much you really do love the game. I'm 33, and by all means that's not that old. You look at the positives and look at the lefties, for instance Tommy Glavine and Jamie Moyer, Boomer (David Wells) who is 43. That shows the positive influences I look at.
REPORTER: Why did you want to pitch today?
REDMAN: Well this was Mike Hampton's turn in the rotation. All along I've been telling people that I was keeping up. Not to prove it, but to show how dedicated I am and that I am ready. It's not just all talk to try to get a contract. I went to and tried so hard to get a flight out yesterday and ended up on the very last one I could get out. I would have been very upset if I had gotten stuck in Detroit. But I was really happy to get here. Even today they were like, 'we know you got in at 4 (am) and we know you haven't eaten. You just got blood taken out of your arm. Do you really want to pitch?' And I said, 'absolutely.' I was real excited to go. I can sleep later. I think they're excited to. They know I wanted the ball today. I was up for the task, and I think they appreciate that. But that's what I wanted to do. I want to get out and be out where I belong – a baseball field.
REPORTER: Did you almost get stuck in Detroit?
REDMAN: Our flight was delayed. I ran from concourse A to C. If you know Detroit, it's a huge airport. I did get some throwing in yesterday, but I got my running in at the Detroit airport. So it worked out well.
REPORTER: What made you successful in 2003 with the Marlins?
REDMAN: When you're on a team that is playing good defense behind you and scoring some runs, it makes a huge difference. I mean last year I was on a team that lost 100 games, but when I was out there pitching they were scoring runs. I don't have to worry about them scoring runs and I don't have to worry about them playing defense. You look at the previous year when I was with Pittsburgh I was 14 out of 14 starts were quality starts to start the season. Fourteen in a row and I had four wins. I had like a 4-8 record with like a 3.78 ERA before the All Star Break. You're sitting there saying, 'what do I need to do?' I lost a game against San Francisco, pitched the full game, and we lost 2-1. I gave up the two runs and got the only RBI. It was real frustrating and toward the end of the season you try to do more. You're like, 'I can't let this happen.' Last year all I needed to worry about was pitching. It's just a confident, comfortable level when you're on a good team. Good vibes flow, and that's what we had in Florida. You have good vibes and then you start winning. When one guy wins, the other guy goes out there and tries to win. You just build off it. It's probably the same thing they had here in the 90s with Smoltz, Glavine, and Mad Dog. It's just a good vibe. I truly believe that plays a big part in making an average pitcher a better pitcher.
REPORTER: So for a guy who has been with a different team almost every year, is there a different feeling?
REDMAN: Just the history alone – what fourteen division titles? I played against them in Florida. They end up winning in every year. They just speaks for itself. You want to be apart of that. You want to be on a team that has success and a tradition of winning instead of trying to find a way to win. They just expect it here.
REPORTER: Is that why this is the perfect fit for you?
REDMAN: There were other offers. There was no major league guaranteed offers, and that's what we were looking for. There were definitely more offers that had more upside financially – over double or triple what I got here. If 11-10 didn't get you anything, what's to say I go to this team they don't have a chance to win but they're giving me more money. What's that going to do for me to have more of an opportunity in the future? It's not about money, but about opportunity. You want to put yourself in an opportunity to continue pitching. Financially, it's going to be there. Even if it's league minimum, most doctors don't even make that. So greed aside and money aside, you want to be on a good team that gives you an opportunity to be out there and pitch. What I have to offer is I'm going to take the ball every five days and I averaged 185 innings on 30 starts a year for the last five years. That's what I have to offer. You put me on a good team, and if the team scores run, I'll give this team a chance to win.
REPORTER: It sounds like – with that new pitch – that it had to make you wonder what you can do as a Brave with that new stuff.
REDMAN: I was excited coming in, until I hit two guys. But I wasn't on too much sleep and had tremendous adrenaline and was excited to be in a uniform. It is just a feel pitch. Not to walk anyone the first time I'm out there is the tremendous thing. I fell behind some hitters, but I went out there and you know I'm a location type pitcher.
REPORTER: Do you feel in the next three weeks you'll be able to feel good about that new pitch?
REDMAN: Yeah because of the type of workouts and bullpens I've been throwing during the offseason. I started a little bit earlier because I wanted to get a feel for this new pitch so I would be ready for it at the first of April. It's coming along well. It's just about getting in front of major league hitters.
REPORTER: When you woke up Thursday, did you think the regular season would pass without you being on a team?
REDMAN: No. We wouldn't have let it gone that long. There's no upside to that. I want to be able to pitch. I belong on a major league team. It was a matter of wanting a guaranteed major league job signing from my house and not a minor league job. The freakest of accidents – I mean last year I was getting up from stretching and hurt my knee. So I had to go get it cleaned up. I missed the rest of spring training and the first three weeks of the season. Say a line drive shatters you shin bone and you're out. That's why we held out for a while. Now it was about getting in the right situation and get ready to prepare yourself for the season to help your club out. Kenny Rogers signed on March 17th a few years ago and the previous year he was 15-8 with a high three ERA.
REPORTER: So did you talk to your agent everyday?
REDMAN: Yeah I was. I'm so sick of ESPN and MLB.com and and Fox Sports Net.com and SI.com. No offense. You guys do great work. I tell you my eyes were hurting from looking at the computer so many times. You don't want to sit there and hope someone gets hurt. It's almost like in NASCAR, 'I hope someone crashes.' It wasn't like that. It was a tough position to be in.
REPORTER: So how did you hear about Hampton?
REDMAN: On ESPN and MLB and all the websites. I mean I turn on my computer and MLB pops up. I should have probably had it on Ebay or something.
REPORTER: What numbers have you worn?
REDMAN: I've worn 18, 55, and 21. If I keep getting outs, I'll keep it (19).
REPORTER: So what approach are you taking as far as a rotation spot?
REDMAN: I'm just coming in here and give it my best and try to make the team. I want to pitch here. I need to earn my spot. I think if you take that approach you're going to appreciate it more. With Mike, with his injury, with all that he has to endure with coming back from Tommy John, I could only imagine the letdown with the tremendous amount of work. I feel for guys that have to go through that. I'm sure his appreciation for the game is different too.

Jeremiah W. Hogan, telegrapher and railroad station agent on Ohio Southern, now called Detroit, Toledo, and Irontown from age 16 until age 36. Cashier of Iron Bank and later owner of variety and book store in Wellston, Ohio. Visited Ireland in 1900. Reported Dennis and Deborah Hogan, his grandparents are buried in grave adjacent to father of John L. Sullivan, the fighter. He married Addie Mae Kirkendall. Jeremian William was born in Washington TWP in 1866 and deceased August 3, 1946. He is buried in Calvary Cemetery, in Wellston, Ohio. More: Jeremiah Hogan to say the least had a very sensitive brain. At age of 13 he taught algebra in the in the Wellston High School. At age of 16 he learned to send and receive the telegraph code in three weeks and accepted a job with the railroad as a telegrapher. The Cincinnati Enquirer sent a reporter to Wellston to verify some of the feats Jeremiah could perform. A full page story in the Enquirer was published. Some of these feats included receiving a message at 55 words per minute while talking to the reporter, or receiving a message by electrical shocks and watching a freight train go by and then writing down from memory the serial number of each car in order of passing. He covered the 1900 Democratic Convention by telegraph from Chicago, his report coming out in light written in english at Fountain Square. As a general rule he could work 100 mathmetical problems while a good mathematician was working one problem. He was equally adept in history.

Alex Burrows Hit In Face With Puck
Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows was struck in the face when teammate Chris Tanev attempted to clear the puck midway through the second period of their 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.
Burrows played in the third period, but it was later revealed that he suffered a broken jaw, based on a report from TEAM 1040 and verified by TSN?s Bob McKenzie and Sportsnet?s Dan Murphy.
Alex Burrows only has 3 assists and no goals for the Vancouver Canucks in 17 games. He has been a major disappointment for the Canucks this season and is pointless in the last eight games.

If shooting par for a single round is the highest score over a four-day tournament, chances are the golfer is pleased but not totally satisfied with the final results. Such is the case with Bud Cauley after shooting a 69 (-1) on Sunday at the Travelers Championship (Cromwell, Conn.). He tied for 11th with a tournament total of 270 (63, 70, 68, 69) finishing at -10, five strokes behind the winner, Kevin Streelman.
Cauley was tied for seventh (-9) after three rounds and hoping for early success on the front nine today. Two bogeys on the first and fourth holes trumped a birdie on the par 4, 431-yard third hole. His approach shot from 111-yards settled 1'3" from the pin setting up the birdie putt. Cauley had birdied the par 4, 406-yard ninth hole twice during the tournament (1st & 3rd round) and was presented with a reasonable opportunity this afternoon but a putt from 7'10" fell 3" short.
After barely missing a 22' 7" putt on the tenth, the back nine was kinder to Cauley. He birdied No. 13 on Friday and Saturday. The streak continued on Sunday with a 5' 1" putt for birdie on the par 5, 523-yard hole. He had saves from the rough to shoot par on Nos. 14, 15 and 18. A tee shot on 17 landed him in the bunker 147-yards away from the pin. A beautiful approach shot over the water placed him 12'11" in position to convert the birdie putt. He finished the fourth round with three birdies (3, 13, 17) and two bogeys (1, 4) for the day.
Cauley's fourth visit to the Travelers Championship was his best, supplanting the tie for 24th in 2011 (269 – 68, 67, 69, 65). He missed the cut in 2012 and 2013. The 11th place tie this weekend equaled his PGA TOUR season's top finish which was the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in April. So far he has entered 14 events, making the cut six times, missing seven and withdrawing once.

COLTS NECK - Officials passed an ordinance that will allow deer hunting in specific residential areas of Colts Neck.
The owner of Eastmont Orchard is one of the main proponents of the new legislation. He has had serious problems with deer eating his apple crop.
"The deer in our case eat the apple buds off in the winter which is our profit for the next season," says farmer Dave Barclay. Last year he says his revenue was down 15 to 20 percent.
READ MORE: Environment Stories
Once deer season begins in the fall, the owners themselves are allowed to hunt deer on their property, and so can anyone else with five or more acres of land. Hunters only need written permission from property owners.
The township committee cited loss of revenue for farmers, a rise in cases of Lyme disease and more deer versus car collisions. Township officials say that between 2009 and 2011 there were 238 deer versus vehicle collisions and 37 confirmed cases of Lyme disease.
Opponents concerned about safety have been assured no hunting would be allowed in parks or in township-owned green space that surrounds houses.
"I welcome responsible hunters coming into Colts Neck to hunt responsibly and legally, and we hope they'll help us eat into this problem," says Mayor Russell Macnow.
Macnow says the goal of the ordinance is to bring down the deer population by 20 percent. This spring, the township will see if it worked.

Thursday, February 27, 2014
I had such grand plans.
Tom was going to be in Honduras all last week – having gotten a late start following the ice storm. He was supposed to leave on Thursday, Feb. 13, but flight delays put him on the trip on the following Sunday.
Just before he left, we had a 24-hour visit from our youngest grandchild, and before that we – like so many others – had a house full of refugees from homes with no power.
Then Monday was Presidents Day, so kids continued to be home from school.
All of this combined to prime me for a little me-time while Cade and Payton were in school the rest of the week. I had such grand plans – some mundane, like finally doing some housecleaning after so much activity, and others more, well, fun, like a night of playing bridge and time to be spent shopping for a dress to wear as mother-of-the-groom in March.
I also was looking forward to two Chamber events – the annual meeting and Women in a Business. The Chamber banquet had been moved to Monday, Feb. 17, and then WIB was moved into March.
So it was with a great deal of anticipation that I headed out on Monday to the big Chamber event. It was marvelous. The food was very good – no surprise with Cal Berry in charge. Because of the date change, Sen. Tim Scott was unable to appear, as originally scheduled, but our own Walker Posey was entertaining and insightful regarding today's workforce in the post-social media era. Pam Stickler, who has single-handedly brought area folks with special needs into the world of recreational activities, was named Citizen of the Year – a well-deserved honor for all she does.
Somewhere in there my son, Mac, spent two solid days sawing branches and picking up debris from the storm so that when Tom came home, most of the heavy lifting would already be done. We have a pile of firewood, plus a 3- or 4-foot high strip of limbs all across the front of our property thanks to his efforts.
But all my plans for my free week went south beginning in the middle of the night on Monday. I awoke thinking there must have been some avocado hidden in something I ate. (Avocado and I do not get along – at all.) I spent the night throwing up and Tuesday feeling awful and was almost positive it was somehow food related (sorry for ever thinking that, Cal) until Wednesday, when I got the dreaded call that I needed to get Cade from school. He was sick. Then Wednesday night Payton got it. As a result, the three of us spent Thursday trying to recover from this dreaded virus, for that certainly must be what it was.
Anyway, Thursday was supposed to be my big chance for self-indulgence. Instead I was just trying to get everyone well enough to go back to school. (And thanks to my almost-daughter-in-law – a nurse practitioner – I at least had a little help getting my stomach into a much happier state.)
Finally on Friday, when the kids went home to their parents, I began to think I might be able to do some shopping on Saturday, at least. As it turned out, I had more time than I expected. Usually Cat, Scott and the kids meet Tom (when he's in country) and me for breakfast on Saturday, but late on Friday Cat was the next casualty of the lethal but relatively short-lived ailment.
So, feeling almost human, I got up early on Saturday to start my search for suitable wedding attire. The miracle of modern technology meant I could take pictures dressed in the top contenders and send them to my daughters and my future daughter-in-law for a thumbs up or thumbs down. As a result, in three hours I had a dress and was on my way home.
By the time Tom returned from Honduras on Sunday night, everyone was well, I had enjoyed a little adult conversation at bridge night on Saturday and Sunday school on Sunday, I was closer to being ready for Mac and Joy's wedding, and the ice storm and earthquake of 2014 were fading memories.
My week of "freedom" was lost forever – but, hey, I do have a dress, so it wasn't a total loss.
Now we're onto a weekend with Pearce. I have a really strong feeling that this might be the time my 14-month-old granddaughter decides it's time to walk. We shall see.

An investigating grand jury has found no evidence that a female police officer seriously injured a teenager's genitals during a stop-and-frisk search earlier this year, District Attorney Seth Williams said Thursday.
Darrin Manning, 16, and his lawyer said he was injured after police stopped him and some friends near Broad Street and Girard Avenue. Some of the teens, who had been on their way to a school basketball game, ran from the officers.
Manning, however, was apprehended. The teen, a student at the Mathematics, Civics, and Sciences Charter School, has alleged that an officer grabbed his genitals and pulled, causing a testicle to rupture.

Ratings for Dr. Bridget Lowery
Absolutely love Dr. Lowery.... Secretary is a little cold, but not there to see her. The doctor is very knowledgeable and the first one to tell you she is not sure of the answer and immediately sends u for necessary tests. Looks me in the eye when talking to me in layman terms i might add, and always makes u feel unrushed. When she is running late, her first words are an apology.... Hope she sticks around... She is a rare gem. indeed.
I am so happy to have her as my doctor. She is very nice and understanding. Sometimes you have a bit of a wait but having her as a doctor is worth it. If she isn't sure of something she makes sure you see somebody who is.. This doctor actually listens to you. I highly recommend Dr. Lowry.. Keep up the good work!! :)
Very long wait times..Very long time to get appointments and very very long to get paper work done..
Bridget is a great doctor. I am 21 and she is the first doctor that I feel comfortable talking to about whatever issue I have. I always dreaded going to the doctor but she is very easy going and laid back (but professional at the same time) so I don't mind it so much any more. Keep up the good work!! :)
She is one of the few exceptional doctors out there that will actually listen to what you have to say and prescribe(or not), what medications that will work and she will actually take the time to explain what she can do to help in terms that anyone can understand. As a patient, I give her a 10 out of 10 rating.
She is the best doctor I've ever had.SHe is very concerned and knowledgeable. She goes beyond her scope of practice.
Very kind and nice, makes you feel very comfortable... Very concerned about her patients, very willing to help you. I am very greatful to have her as a doctor...
