What is frost and why is it bad for turf? During the spring, summer and fall, dew normally forms on the grass in the evening and early morning hours. This is due to condensation and a process called guttation that occurs in the plant where water from the leaves and roots is expressed from openings in the leaves. During the warmer periods we simply mow off this excess moisture and it is no problem. Once the weather turns colder, this moisture will freeze. The moisture will not only freeze on the leaf surface but also into the openings (stomates) of the leaves. The leaf will essentially freeze and become brittle. Once this moisture freezes, that is when it becomes dangerous for plants. Any foot or cart traffic on frosted grass will break the leaves causing damage. Sometimes the damage is merely superficial but if the traffic is heavy enough, permanent damage to the plant crown can occur resulting in death of the turfgrass plant!

Great Article Re-Capping Winter Kill Across the Carolinas
Myrtle Beach area golf courses dealing with weather-driven grass winterkill
They weren't so lucky this year.
A series of unfavorable and untimely weather occurrences combined to promote the onset of a condition known as winterkill on area grasses – particularly the different varieties of Bermudagrass that are prevalent in the Carolinas – and it has taken its toll on Strand layouts.
Though the impact of winterkill, a general term used to describe turf loss caused by cold weather during winter months, varies in the area from destructive to mild, few courses have been spared.
It's the worst case of winterkill in the Carolinas since the mid-1990s, according to Patrick O'Brien, the Southeast region agronomist with the USGA Green Section who has been in the Carolinas since 1987.
"In Myrtle Beach I don't know that it's a disaster, but in parts of the Carolinas it is," said Trent Bouts, a spokesperson for the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association.
O'Brien said many of the worst cases are in the North Carolina areas of Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro and Charlotte, regions where he's seen damage on 30 to 50 percent of fairways on several courses and at least a few courses are closing for repairs.
Myrtle Beach may be the hardest hit region in South Carolina, and the worst case on the Strand appears to be at Black Bear Golf Club, where bare Champion Bermuda greens will be re-grassed through sprigging beginning in the next couple weeks, depending on the delivery date of the Champion sprigs from Texas.
The course will remain open during the work as temporary greens have already been cut near the existing greens and will be used until the Champion is ready for play, possibly by early August.
Black Bear head pro Patrick Wilkinson said a few options were considered. The problem areas could have been sodded. "We ended up with about 40,000 square feet of damaged area, and at $1.25 per square foot plus installation that wasn't a real feasible option," he said. Another option was sprigging only the affected areas, but you'd have to keep those areas wet for growth and it could have adversely affected adjoining grass.
So course operators opted to completely re-grass the greens. "That will give us full coverage again and we can get a fresh start," said Wilkinson, who said green sizes will be enlarged to their dimensions when the greens were last replaced eight years ago before the encroachment of fairways and collars.
Other Strand courses have had to repair portions of their playing areas but haven't reported having to replace all of their greens.
The damage can be to tee boxes, fairways, rough or greens, and varies from course to course.
Bermuda is an aggressive grass that quickly sprawls, and maintenance practices that stimulate growth such as aerification are beginning this week as scheduled at most courses.
"We're well on our way to recovery now, and in the middle of our aerification process," said Max Morgan, director of agronomy for Founders Group International, which has acquired 22 Strand courses over the past 10 months.
The weather factorsThe winterkill likely took root on dormant warm-weather Bermuda on the Strand in February, when temperatures dipped below freezing on several occasions.
Morgan said temperatures of 32 degrees or below were registered on 16 days in February at River Club in Pawleys Island compared to just six days in February 2014, which itself wasn't considered a great month for weather. "We didn't have any record low temperatures, it was just a cumulative effect of a damp, cool and cloudy February," Morgan said.
In late March, just as the Bermuda was beginning to wake from its dormancy, a particularly cold night saw temperatures dip to 26 degrees on the north end of the Strand and 31 in Pawleys Island, according to Morgan.
"It definitely chill-shocked the greens and we were already pushing them along with fertilizer because they did have some damage from the winter time," Morgan said. "When it came time for them to green up they weren't greening up."
While April was generally pleasant, it didn't provide the temperatures of 80-plus in the day and 60-plus at night to spur Bermuda growth. Morgan said it never reached 80 degrees at Pine Lakes Country Club in Myrtle Beach in April.
"It was nice for golf other than being a little cloudy and rainy but it was not nice for growing Bermuda grass," Morgan said. "We needed temperatures to stay above 60 degrees [at night] to get Bermuda growth."
A tropical storm in early May that dumped more than 5 inches of rain on parts of the Strand may have inhibited the recovery process.
"Everything just seemed to go backwards at a period of time the grass should really be growing aggressively," said Jim Knaffle, superintendent at International Club of Myrtle Beach and a past president of the Palmetto GCSA, the Strand's superintendent organization. "It turned into a difficult time for a lot of people."
The damagePerhaps because of the colder temperatures in late March on the north end, the stretch of courses on the S.C. 9 corridor was particularly hard hit, including Black Bear.
Morgan said the most drastic measure that needed to be taken on Founders Group's 22 courses was the complete sodding of the ninth green on the Highlands nine at the 27-hole Aberdeen Country Club on S.C. 9.
"Everything on Highway 9 seemed like it just got smacked in the mouth this spring," Wilkinson said.
Many Strand course operators have only recently learned the extent of their turf loss as cool-weather grasses die off at courses that overseeded and green colorants wear off at facilities that didn't, revealing dead patches of underlying Bermuda.
Area golf courses that are particularly susceptible to winterkill are those that are shaded, have north-facing slopes, traditionally retain water, or have high foot or cart traffic that compacts soil and weakens turf.
In the central corridor of North Carolina, where course operators are more accustomed to freezing temperatures, the damage is generally limited to tees, rough and fairways because they routinely use green covers to protect putting surfaces on cold winter days. "There has been virtually no damage at all to Bermudagrass greens where the covers are used," O'Brien said.
At least three Strand courses used the covers, which are similar to tarps, this winter, and Prestwick Country Club, The Dunes Golf and Beach Club and Tidewater Golf Club all helped limit any damage to greens by doing so.
Tidewater closed last summer for renovations that included the installation of MiniVerde Bermuda on its greens, and the new grass was often protected by custom-fit covers over the winter. Tidewater general manager Archie Lemon said the course was closed about half of the days in February when the covers were in use.
"It impacted revenue, but our greens were new so we gave them probably a little extra TLC over the winter," Lemon said. "The covers are phenomenal and I expect more courses to go to those."
Lemon said the covers can cost up to $30,000 for a course, depending on the size of their greens.
Michael Shoun, director of agronomy for McConnell Golf, which owns and/or operates 11 private courses across the Carolinas including two on the Strand, told Bouts he expects to spend close to $250,000 repairing damage at his chain of facilities. That includes one truckload (about 10,000 square feet) of new sod at The Reserve Club in Pawleys Island. McConnell's Dye Course at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., will close for sprigging.
As will the two courses at Bryan Park Golf Course in Greensboro, N.C., which is home to the Carolinas PGA Section. It lost 30 acres of turf over the courses, which will both close within the next month for sprigging, according to Bouts.
Many in the Strand golf market expect more courses to reverse a recent trend and get back to overseeding fairways and greens for the winter, to both have the live overseed grasses – generally ryegrass on fairways and poa trivialis on greens – to absorb moisture in a wet winter and ensure golfers in the important spring season have healthy grass.
More cold-tolerant Bermuda strains have been developed at Oklahoma State and are now for sale in the Carolinas, and some N.C. clubs are replanting fairways with the improved varieties called Northbridge and Latitude 36 rather than the traditional Tifway 419 Bermuda.
Latitude 36 is the home stadium turf for NFL teams in Philadelphia and Washington.
The grasses aren't in use on the Strand yet. For now, Myrtle Beach area courses will just pray for some better weather.
"Let's hope those days are behind us and we have some mild winters coming up," Lemon said.

4/20/15 Golf Course Update
On April 6th and 7th we
aerified all the greens on the golf course. As is typical for the spring
aerification, we dodged raindrops almost the entire process but were able to
get everything accomplished in the two days. The finished product turned
out very well and set us up for a quick recovery of the holes.
These pictures were taken from the same spot at the bottom of the approach on hole #18. The picture on top is the southern facing approach, while the one on the bottom is further back toward the tee by 50 yards. That slope faces north and does not receive the direct heating from the suns rays as the southern slope does.
The TifSport bermudagrass that we have at Hasentree is very unique to us. There is only one other course in the Raleigh area (Garner) that has it and beyond that you would need to head toward Pinehurst to find another one. The major difference between TifSport and the more typical 419 bermudagrass at most other local clubs is the fact that it is 2-3 weeks slower to green up. While some of the 419 courses (Brier Creek and Wakefield for example) are almost completely green, we are still seeing areas that appear more dormant than not.
There is a dramatic color difference throughout the golf course just from late last week to this morning. I fully expect that greening trend to continue as the soil temperatures climb in the areas that still appear to be dormant.
There has also been a tremendous explosion of poa annua in our fairways this past winter and early spring. This is not surprising to me as poa thrives in cold wet conditions and we are not alone as many other local clubs are fighting the same issues. Typically our pre-emergent spray in January would eliminate any of these winter weeds that pop up as we include glyphosate in the mix since the bermudagrass is still dormant. This year was difficult as most of January and early February there was snow and ice on much of the course. This was then followed by cold wet rains that continue to hinder us today. Because our spray was delayed, I feel that the poa had germinated (thus being unaffected by the pre-emergent) but was still not visible at the top of the turf canopy (therefore being untouched by the glyphosate).
We have purchased products to spray out the poa annua populations and should be getting that out soon, weather dependent. The spray must dry on the plant in order to work, therefore rain will delay these applications.
Range Tee
There has been much talk about the range tee and why it wasn't overseeded and whether or not the bermudagrass is coming back there as well.
The bermudagrass is in the same situation as the grass throughout the golf course, it needs warmth and some good dry sunny days. There is green tissue in most of the areas that I inspected this morning. We fertilized the tee last week and plan to do so again early next week to continue to push growth and green-up.
As for overseeding, we have not overseeded the range tee in 5 years. There are many reasons that I feel overseeding is not the right practice for The Hasentree Club.
Overseeding delays the green-up of the bermudagrass in the spring. The overseeded ryegrass shades the bermudagrass in the spring and inhibits it from being warmed by the suns rays. We have seen that, on average at Hasentree, that the tee greens up several weeks sooner than it used to when it was overseeded.
In order to overseed, the range tee would need to be closed down for 2-3 weeks in September in order to allow the ryegrass to germinate and establish. At this point in the year, the golf course is at its busiest and the bermudagrass range tee is still actively growing and thriving.
The process of removing the ryegrass in the spring, after the bermudagrass begins to grow, is detrimental to the bermudagrass as well. TifSport is sensitive to herbicide applications and would be tinged off color during the transition.
During the late fall and winter months, the overseeded tee would require us to shut the tee down for frost delays. Without being overseeded, we are able to let members and their guests out of the range tee to hit balls earlier while the frost burns off the rest of the course.
We are beginning to map out areas where the collars around the greens didn't fare so well through the winter. These are not new issues that we face on the collars and we have had to do sod work every year since Hasentree opened. It is a common ailment of courses in the southeast that have bentgrass greens and bermudagrass surrounds.
Over the past few years we have been able to reduce the areas that were affected by the winter cold, through a variety of management practices aimed at keeping the traffic off the collars once they go dormant. In the fall we typically implement a greens mowing/rolling plan to take some of the wear and traffic off of the collars. We stop having our rollers go through the collar but rather have them stop on the green to begin their next pass. We also reduce the number of mowings to avoid having the mowers turning on the collars.
I am afraid that due to severity of the cold temperatures, frozen precipitation and the lack of warm weather this spring, that we will be looking to replace/re-sod more areas this year than the past 2-3. When we begin resodding some of these collars it will most likely start in mid-May. We must wait for the collars that are going to grow out of winter to become strong enough for us to work on the areas that need replacing. If we start too early we risk damaging more areas than we need to.
As always, please reach out to me if I have not addressed your concerns or questions. I would be more than happy to add additional information. I will also be updating this site more frequently as we transition out of dormancy. I can be reached at email@example.com.

Making Our Bridges Safer
All of the bridges are constructed with marine grade treated lumber so the moisture does not affect their structural integrity. What does happen when the bridges remain damp, however, is that they will develop a film of algae on them. This algae can be slippery and will also allow dirt a debris to accumulate on the bridge as well. All of this can lead to a potentially slippery surface, especially in golf shoes.
In researching a solution to the problem I looked into several different materials and methods for creating a non-slip surface on the bridges. One popular material is a 3M product called PEM matting. This is a product that is commonly used in pool bathroom and locker facilities. The PEM matting seemed to be the most common material, however the courses that I visited that had their bridges equipped with this material the matting looked faded and frayed on the edges after several years.
Another material that was available was a paint with textured grip mixed in. These products would have worked but I would have needed ideal weather conditions to ensure they would adhere and turn out the way they are supposed to. We would also struggle to keep cart traffic off the bridges while the paint dried.
The product that I decided on turned out to be the simplest method available. We decided to go wit a 6"x24" tread sticker that fit perfectly on the 8" decking boards of our bridges. With close to 600' of bridges, we had to order 850 of these treads. The material is a rubber sticker with a heavy grit "sandpaper" texture on it. The adhesive is very strong and should have no trouble sticking to the bridges.
The first step in the process was to pressure wash the entire bridge. This removed all of the algae and dirt that had accumulated on the bridge surface. The bridges looked almost new again after pressure washing! This will certainly become a process that we do more frequently, not just for aesthetics but the freshly pressure washed bridges had noticeably more traction than before.
After pressure washing, we had to let the bridge completely dry before we could affix the treads. For most of the bridges we were able to snap a chalk line to use as a guide because the bridges are straight. Having that guide line sped the process up considerably.
To date we have about half of the bridges completed (#4, #14 and #16). We will complete the remaining bridges as the weather allows. The forecast this week is for wet, followed by extremely cold conditions. We will complete #6, #9 and #12 as soon as we can.
The tread stickers are very practical as well, if one becomes damaged we can simply replace it with a new one rather than having to patch it back together or replace a long stretch of matting.
I have already heard very positive feedback on how well the treads improve traction!

- Features magnesium to support muscle and nerve relaxation
- calming to gently soothe away the tension in your body "This has worked miracles for me. This has been a Godsend. I have had anxiety problems for about 10 years now. The usual general anxiety- feeling anxious for no apparent reason, panic attacks, feeling completely uncomfortable when doing 'normal' things like going out to dinner or to the movies. Xanax has helped me with this a great deal. It works, and I would have had a lot more misery without it. However, Xanax is very addictive and unnatural and leaves me with some side-effects like feeling spaced out and drowsy etc. I take Xanax a few days a week (maybe about 3 on average) at a dose of .5 mg, just to give you a frame of reference if you are in a similar situation. Enough for background information-
I have tried a few different herbal remedies, looking for something that could help to provide me with relief from anxiety that was not addictive. Skullcap by itself didn't do much, if anything. Lithium Orotate seemed to have no effect. Chamomile capsules do seem to relax the stomach a bit but don't do much mentally. I was taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night, and noticed maybe a little difference after taking it but was ready to pretty much give up on the stuff. A light bulb went off when I realized I was splitting the dose in half, pretty significant for me as I am 6'1" 210 lbs. (maybe 212 after Christmas :) ) When I took the two caps together, I felt better than I had for a LONG time, even compared to some times being on Xanax, because my thoughts were clear and I didn't have the guilt that goes with taking a tranquilizer, but I still felt much more relaxed than usual.
So, here is why I say I have some proof: I have a heart rate monitor for working out. I have taken a ton of readings messing around with it while I am sitting around the house and my resting heart rate tends to be about 85-90, which isn't bad, but you can do a lot better. I put the heart rate monitor on prior to a workout the day I finally took the correct dose of Serenity and was feeling good, and I was amazed to see my heart rate was 65! I took over 10 readings over then next half hour and all were between 62-71 or so. A huge difference. About a week has gone by and I have continued to have the same results- feeling much better and it has the same continued positive effect on my heart rate. I have read more about Serenity, the way it works to relax your mind is by stimulating alpha brainwaves, the state of mind achieved through relaxation and meditation that brings you to a calm but clear headed mental state. It makes perfect sense to me as far as describing what it does for me mentally. I have found that a self-hypnosis CD I use and recommend "Creating Calm and Inner Peace" By Glenn Harrold, seems to be much more effective while I am feeling the effects of this. It is easier for me to slip under and have my mind more open to the suggestions, as there is far less going on as far as the random thoughts and clutter. I'm not saying I was perfect, but I felt much better able to cope. The rest I feel will be up to desensitization, which is a whole other subject for dealing with anxiety, but one that works...
How much you can take:
add maybe another 200 mg of Theanine powder, and see if it doesn't improve the effects even more. It is gathered from tea, and is used widely in Japan, and has been for years with no problems that I could find. Good luck and I hope that you get some relief. This Product Does Wonders For Me!

There's been a lot of talk in recent years about just how far Sonic has fallen off and all I have to say is, good. I think that as long as people are still disappointed by games like sonic heroes or Sonic and the Secrets Rings or the ridiculousness that was Shadow the Hedgehog, then any proclamation of Sonic's demise has to be premature. As long as people still believe in potential of a Sonic game, there's still hope. Sonic isn't Pac Man. Let's face it, if anyone who's been paying attention for the last 10 or 15 years hears there's a new Pac Man game coming out, the first thought is "That's going to be a piece of crap. If I really want to check it out I can just scoop it out of someone's trash can in about a week." That's nothing against Pac Man, but you can't ignore the fact that the gameplay just hasn't been able to evolve in any meaningful way and retain quality.
The problem with these signature characters is that they put dollar signs in everyone's eyes and then they want to turn them into that mega franchise ala Mario and Nintendo. But, and here's the problem, I don't want to play Pac Man party. Even the Mario parties were stinking it up before Nintendo decided to take some time off and I actually cared about those characters. So this has led just about everyone to the conclusion that,
(1) People don't want to drive Sonic around in a car or play Tennis with a bunch of Sega characters they know nothing about.
I absolutely agree. Sonic and Sega Allstars racing isn't even a bad game (Sega superstars Tennis is though, seriously stay away) but the quality doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact that you're competing against Mario Kart and you're never going to win that fight.
(2) Sonic has to get back to his 2D roots to find success. This one I have to take issue with.
First off, let me just say, I get it. The recent past is filled with bomb after bomb with Sonic's name on them.
The missteps range from the creepy, (listen to Tails theme song in sonic adventure where he sings about lying in bed thinking about Sonic, really.)
To the careless, (Dr. Eggman blew the moon in half in Sonic Adventure 2, but let's just pretend that never happened and put everything back to normal.)
To the cringe-worthy (The line "Let's go back to the planet as cool and blue as me!" leaps to mind.)
and even to the just plan idiotic ("Hey guys, what if Shadow the Hedgehog fought aliens with AKs?")
But despite all that there are redeeming qualities in some of those games and to me the idea that Sonic has to be super simplified or brought back down to 2D is just flat out wrong. Just because something has been done badly doesn't mean it can't be done well. Now, I'll absolutely agree that the early Sonics were great and that Sonic Advance was a quality game. But more recently Sonic Colors has been a great case for the fact 3D, narrative driven Sonic games can in fact work and even more it received arguably a better response than the back-to-his-roots Sonic 4.
Classic Sonic games will always hold a special place in my heart, but I do believe that Sonic doesn't have to turn to the past to find success. If the more recent releases have proven anything it's that the potential is still there. So, let's all agree to never settle for Sonic Heroes or the Secret Rings, because Sonic can offer so much more

TORONTO – Josh Johnson pauses and takes a deep breath when he's asked what, if anything, went right for him before the all-star break.
"Oh man, not a whole lot," the towering Toronto Blue Jays right-hander replied Friday. "I felt good, but it always seemed like I was a work in progress.
"Last year I was more battling mechanical problems, but I felt great. This year my mechanics are back to where they were a couple of years ago, not the getting results is tough. You want to go out there and show these guys that I'm going to battle for you, I'm going to go six, seven, eight, nine every time out.
"It's almost been the opposite."
That goes for the Blue Jays as a whole, who like Johnson left spring training primed and ready for a big season but instead spent the campaign's opening stanza unable to gain steady footing. Given that he's a pending free agent this fall, Johnson's got plenty riding on a strong recovery, with GM Alex Anthopoulos showing no inclination to trade him before the July 31 trade deadline.
The next 2½ months will go a long way in determining whether Johnson enters free agency as one of the market's prime pitching targets in position to command a significant multi-year deal (the US$82.5-million, five-year deal A.J. Burnett signed with the New York Yankees in 2008 might be a potential comparable), or in a situation where accepting a one-year qualifying offer from the Blue Jays to rebuild his value is the most sensible course of action.
Either way, it's a critical period on multiple levels.
"Different, but I don't worry about it," Johnson said of dealing with uncertainty about his future for the first time. "There's nothing I can do about it except go out there and pitch, and hopefully throw the ball well. …
"If you start worrying about it then you're not worrying about your next start, your next outing, or getting ready for your next start."
And really, that's where the heavy lifting lies for the 29-year-old.
At 1-5 with a 5.16 earned-run average over 12 starts sandwiched around a "weird" trip to the disabled list due to a biceps injury, Johnson is on pace for the worst statistical season of his career.
Though peripherals such as his strikeouts and walks per nine are right around or better than his previous norms, his hits per nine of 10.3 sits two hits above his career average. More concerning is that he's already surrendered 10 home runs (on 68 fly balls over 66.1 innings), and he's never given up more than 14 before in a single season.
In 2012, for instance, he allowed 14 homers on 166 fly balls over 191.1 innings.
None of it makes much sense to Johnson, which is why the all-star break was so good for him, allowing him to push a mental reset button. Or as he put it, "clean slate, wiped clean, forget everything."
"I think my mindset the last two or three starts was a lot better than it was the few starts before them," he continued. "I might have been just missing off the plate, but I feel like I was right there, mechanics-wise I feel good, being aggressive."
While Johnson plans to be more aggressive with his repertoire in general, one pitch in particular he wants to focus on is his curveball, which "seems like I would almost baby it up there sometimes trying to get a strike."
"Then all of a sudden I'm watching (Brett) Cecil throw them, his curveball is out and straight down and that's why guys have trouble trying to hit it. It's such a good pitch, it comes out like a fastball and disappears. Mine, it feels like it comes up and guys see it right away, they may take it for a strike, or take it for a ball, but I want to be more aggressive with that. I threw good curveballs the last game, so there's definitely some positives from the last couple of starts."
Johnson lost his last three starts heading into the break, deserving a better fate July 9 in a 3-0 loss at Cleveland when he allowed two runs in seven innings, and then falling victim to a few big blows in a 7-4 loss at Baltimore.
The Blue Jays are 3-9 overall in his 12 starts, one of the many reasons he feels his teammates and fans have yet to see what he can bring to the table.
"One hundred per cent," he said.
Johnson's next chance to turn things around comes Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, in the midst of a key stretch during which the Blue Jays must resuscitate a season in dire straits.
Even if they get on a good long run, it may be too little too late in the standings, but all they can do is try to put pressure on their opponents and see where that takes them.
"You try and do your job, that's it," said Johnson. "Once you do your job and everybody does their own job, things take off. We had that 11 game win streak and everyone was doing their job. Guys were getting deep into games, coming up with big hits, big defensive plays, everything.
"We were rolling then, we want to get on one of those now."
Regardless of how that plays out, Johnson understands he'll be the subject of trade rumours between now and the July 31 trade deadline, even though it makes little sense for the Blue Jays to deal him.
Anthopoulos has often spoken of the difficulty in acquiring elite pitchers and through Johnson is deep into an off-year, he certainly qualifies.
Extending him a qualifying offer in the off-season is a no-brainer because if he accepts the Blue Jays would be happy to take him back on a one-year deal, and if he declines, they would get a compensatory draft pick should he depart that would offer them all kinds of flexibility to manipulate their spending pool next year.
Keeping him around also gives the Blue Jays more of an opportunity to evaluate him and perhaps structure an extension in which both the team and the player share the risk.
Whatever happens, at least Johnson's time with the Miami Marlins taught him to deal with the constant speculation.
"The main part of it is everybody asking you questions - it gets kind of frustrating, but it's part of it," said Johnson. "Last year we'd come in and it was, 'Who's getting traded next?' We'd joke around with each other, 'Looks like you might be going to so and so.' Me and Ricky Nolasco, and Mark Buehrle was a main part of that, he was joking around with us all the time."
The Blue Jays aren't the Marlins, however, and at this point they're showing no signs that they intend to take a step back from their buildup. They want to add, not subtract, and their window of opportunity extends into the years to come.
Johnson can certainly see himself continuing to be part of the core.
"Oh yeah, I don't ever close doors," he said. "They treat you like a man here, that's been pretty fun being treated that way. They have respect for what you do and stuff like that.
"Toronto has been awesome, the fans have been amazing, and I haven't even pitched well. The clubhouse has been awesome, the guys on the team, the front office has been really good, they've always been open with me and talked to me.
"It's a new experience and it's been a lot of fun, I just want to win some more games."
So, too, do the rest of the Blue Jays, and they're running out of time to make it happen.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The end is now all but official for Jason Varitek, the only remaining act of his illustrious Red Sox career being the formality of the announcement of his retirement on Thursday. With the conclusion now imminent, the beginning merits reconsideration.
A compelling case can be made that the groundbreaking for the Red Sox' 2004 championship took place on July 31, 1997, the day of a landmark trade in franchise history. It was on that date that the Red Sox turned unwanted reliever Heathcliff Slocumb into future franchise cornerstones Varitek and Derek Lowe. Yet as momentous as the trade turned out to be, its true impact was initially unclear.
Yes, the Red Sox were pleased to move Slocumb, a pitcher whose every sighting in Fenway Park in a turbulent 1997 season inspired boos. But to say that they knew they had landed a pair of All-Stars -- one of whom (Lowe) would be a key member of the pitching staff for eight years, the other of whom (Varitek) would become arguably the most important leader in team history over 15 seasons -- would be an act of revisionist history.
"I laugh about it now," Lowe said in Fort Myers earlier this month. "When [former Sox GM Dan Duquette] got us, he thought I was left-handed and he saw Varitek and said, 'Wow, you're a lot skinnier than I thought.' The moral of the story is that those trades happen all the time. You never know how they'll work out."
That's not quite right, nor is Lowe's claim that he was a mere throw-in to Varitek's centerpiece, but it is fair to say that both players exceeded what either the Mariners or Red Sox thought they would be, with the outcome changing Red Sox history.
The Mariners were desperate for relief help in the summer of 1997, a fact that was well known in the industry. The team kicked the tires on White Sox closer Roberto Hernandez, Toronto reliever Mike Timlin, Phillies closer Ricky Bottalico and Slocumb, the Red Sox fireman.
In virtually every one of those deals, Varitek was a rumored piece, a development that wasn't terribly surprising given that the Mariners had Dan Wilson -- a favorite of Lou Piniella -- entrenched behind the plate. Duquette was intrigued by Varitek, whom he had seen several times while scouting college teammate Nomar Garciaparra at Georgia Tech -- but aimed higher.
Even Varitek, after all, viewed himself as something of a question mark at that time. While he eventually developed a reputation as one of the most commanding leaders of a pitching staff in the game, the perception about him was different at that stage of his minor league career.
"He wasn't a good catcher at all when he first started," noted Lowe, who played with Varitek in each of his three minor league seasons in the Mariners system, spending both 1995 and 1996 with him in Double-A Port City and then playing with him in Triple-A Tacoma in 1997. "He'll be one of the first ones to tell you."
Indeed, Varitek suggested on multiple occasions that he was initially overmatched by the challenge of handling stuff at the pro level unlike anything he'd ever seen in college. In his early career, he noted, he would "swing and miss with the glove" on "Derek Lowe sinker thingies" that moved in ways he'd never seen.
Still, by 1997, he'd made enough strides to the point where he was in Triple-A and just starting to hold his own. That ensured that he would become a central character in the drama that played out as the trade deadline neared in 1997.
The Sox had gotten off to a horrible start that year in a pitiless American League East. By early June, they were 24-37 and a staggering 19 games behind the first-place Orioles, and more than 10 games behind a Yankees team that had won the World Series the previous year. Contention was hopeless, and remained so into July.
Slocumb represented a movable part for the Sox. Though he'd had a solid 1996 season, forging a 3.02 ERA and 31 saves (in 39 chances), the 31-year-old, like his team, had gotten off to a dreadful start in 1997. By mid-June, he was 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA and three blown saves with more walks (24) than strikeouts (19).
But while Slocumb was a constant subject of contempt for Sox fans by that point, he found his form and went on a run that turned out to be pivotal for the Sox. From June 14-July 24 that year, the closer appeared in 18 games, recording 11 saves in 12 opportunities and forging a 1.56 ERA.
As a closer who had enjoyed considerable success over the previous two years, his dismal performance early in 1997 could be dismissed as an aberration by a team with needs in its bullpen. Suddenly, a player with no real value to the Sox for a 1997 season in which saves were meaningless had substantial value to the franchise as a potential trade chip.
Meanwhile, the Mariners were trying to win with a team that featured the best position player (Ken Griffey Jr.) and one of the two best pitchers (Randy Johnson) in the American League, but that had a late-innings recipe for disaster. By late-July, the team had blown 14 saves, and in the process, turned what could have been an easy march through the AL West into a scenario in which they were holding on for dear life in the division.
And so, when Sox GM Duquette held a conference call with scouts in July to discuss the farm systems to scout as a possible match in a trade, the Mariners were high on the list. Duquette assigned the investigation of the Seattle farm system to Gary Rajsich and Eddie Haas.
In early conversations between the two organizations, Duquette targeted 22-year-old Ken Cloude, a Double-A power pitcher. Seattle was more interested in shopping Lowe.
Lowe, then 24, had pitched well for in Triple-A (3-4, 3.45 ERA) but got hammered (2-4, 6.96) during a brief call-up to the Mariners. Despite his big-league struggles, Lowe's stuff played up significantly that year, with the aforementioned "sinker thingie" performing as never before.
"I saw Derek's start right before the trade deadline, actually," Rajsich once recalled. "It was amazing. He gave up four hits to the first four hitters, allowed a run without recording an out. But he broke all four of those hitter's bats. I remember sitting there thinking, 'This was something special.'
"My evaluation at that time was, 'This guy is going to be a good, above-average setup man, an eighth inning guy.' he had one pitch that no one could hit and he could get through an order one time with it. In order for him to get better, to be more than that, he was going to have to develop his secondary pitches."
Duquette also identified Varitek as a prospect worth scouting given that he was blocked by Wilson. In the 25-year-old, Rajsich saw a player who was coming into his own.
"People in our industry questioned his desire to play because he'd been drafted in the first round by Minnesota and didn't sign, and then he was a holdout with the Mariners when he was drafted the next year," said Rajsich, alluding to the fact that Varitek didn't sign with the Twins after being taken with the No. 21 overall pick of the 1993 draft, returned to Georgia Tech for his senior year, and then waited nearly a year to sign after Seattle took him with the No. 14 pick. "So there was an overall perception I think among scouts and other people who kind of questioned his desire to play – unrightly so, but you could see where they would come about that conclusion.
"And then there was another perception that he couldn't throw out good runners. Well, I did see him throw out a good runner, and I saw him hit a home run from both sides of the plate. The strength and durability were there. After doing a little digging with friends of mine in the Seattle organization, I found out what a leader he was. And I just took it from there."
Varitek posted solid but not spectacular numbers that year with Tacoma. In 87 games, he hit .254 with a .329 OBP, .443 slugging mark and .772 OPS, along with 15 homers. Still, Rajsich saw multiple above-average tools that suggested the potential for a future big league starting catcher.
"You could watch, by the way he caught and how he controlled the pace of games, how intelligent he was back there. He was something special," said Rajsich. "I thought he could be a frontline starter, that he probably wouldn't hit for average but that he'd have power, and that he could lead a pitching staff."
On July 30, 1997, a perfect storm set the deal in motion. The Mariners, facing the Sox in Fenway, steered a 7-2 lead into the bottom of the eighth. Seattle's bullpen, which entered the night with a league-worst 6.14 ERA and 14 blown saves, then commenced an epic collapse.
The Sox rallied for a pair of eighth-inning runs, and Slocumb entered the 7-4 contest in the ninth. On that pivotal night, the right-hander was filthy.
"He threw 95 to 97 miles per hour and he got his breaking ball over," Duquette once recalled. "He overpowered Seattle. (Mariners manager) Lou Piniella saw that."
Piniella also saw that his bullpen lacked such an arm. In the bottom of the ninth, Mariners closer Charlton wilted. A trio of hits and an RBI groundout made the score 7-6, bringing Nomar Garciaparra to the plate with two outs and a runner on third.
The eventual Rookie of the Year bounced a grounder, fielded cleanly by Mariners shortstop Alex Rodriguez. But Rodriguez—who would, almost exactly seven years later, engage in a memorable dust-up with Varitek at the same ballpark—threw the ball into the Sox dugout, allowing the tying run to score. One inning later, Garciaparra lined a walkoff single to left.
"I take full responsibility," A-Rod told reporters. "I don't blame anybody but me."
The Mariners didn't see it that way. The brutal loss forced Seattle, which had declared its top prospects untouchable, to change course and make available players who they never wanted to market.
"We were desperate at the time," remembered former Mariners head of scouting and player development Roger Jongewaard a few years ago. "I didn't think we were that desperate, personally, but that's the way it goes."
On July 31, the Mariners bit hard and traded top prospect Jose Cruz Jr. to Toronto for Mike Timlin and Paul Spoljaric. Upon learning of the deal, Duquette dialed Mariners G.M. Woody Woodward.
"I was just praying," remembered Duquette, "that they'd still have some interest in Slocumb."
Woodward reassured Duquette that his team wanted another reliever. He stayed in contact with the Sox through the day.
That night, Slocumb was asked to close out a 2-1 lead. Instead, he produced calamity: hit batter, groundout, single, walk, run-scoring wild pitch, intentional walk, game-winning single. Woodward took note of Boston's 3-2 defeat.
"I called Woody back at 10:30 and he said, 'Don't tell me Slocumb blew the lead,'" Duquette said. "I said, 'Okay, I won't tell you that.'"
Seattle still wanted Slocumb, but was initially unwilling to trade two prospects for a reliever. Duquette made a one-for-one offer of Slocumb for Cloude, but the Mariners wouldn't move the young pitcher, who went 11-7 with a 3.87 ERA and nearly a strikeout an inning in Double-A that year. Seattle countered by offering Lowe for Slocumb. With the trade deadline nearing and Seattle unable to make a deal on its terms, a compromise was struck 30 minutes before midnight.
"I said, 'Woody, we'll take Varitek and Lowe for Slocumb if you want to do the deal,'" said Duquette. "He felt that he was in a position to trade two young kids for a closer. That's how we got 'em."
Slocumb did little to stabilize the Seattle bullpen, going 0-4 with a 4.13 ERA. The Mariners did manage to pull away in the AL West, but were kicked out of the playoffs in the Division Series by the Orioles. The win-now move proved unsatisfactory on their end.
The Red Sox, on the other hand, had a bounty that exceeded anything for which they could have hoped. Lowe became an All-Star as a closer in 2000, then as a starter in 2002. He is still pitching in the big leagues 15 years later.
Varitek, meanwhile, became a force on the field where and the backbone of the Red Sox clubhouse off of it. Members of the organization swore for years that he had as great an impact on the club as any single player, a notion underscored by his presence in so many iconic moments in team history.
The mitt in A-Rod's face. The leap into the arms of Alan Embree when the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, a prelude to springing atop Keith Foulke shortly thereafter when the Sox won the World Series against the Cardinals shortly thereafter. Three years later, the jump upon Jonathan Papelbon when the Sox won another World Series against the Rockies. Four no-hitters (Hideo Nomo, Lowe, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz) and five one-hitters, including the unforgettable 17-strikeout performance by Pedro Martinez in Yankee Stadium in 1999.
Many of the most significant moments in franchise history, in other words, serve as a flipbook of Varitek's indelible place in Red Sox lore. His career is over, but just as his significance to the organization outlasted his days as an everyday player, his legacy will persist well beyond his retirement.
For that, the Red Sox have one franchise-changing trade to thank, a moment when a faltering reliever yielded a staggering bounty.
"We're always going to be tied together even though we split after '04, just the magnitude of us both coming here at the same time, playing here and winning a World Series, and Heathcliff not helping out Seattle so much," said Lowe. "It's a good guy to be connected to. Jason and I have a unique, close relationship because I saw the first game he ever played all the way up to the World Series.
"I think it was definitely one-sided. It worked out great," said Lowe. "To see how he became one of the best catchers in the game and just how hard he worked at it, his will to get better, it was fun to see that."

Smootrab, real name Bart Ooms, previously known as Jigs (Born February 12, 1980). He is a new upcoming producer, trying to achieve his stamp in the music scene over the coming years. Since the age of 14 he followed the electronic music & club scene, spinning as a local DJ. As years past by, he never lost his love for music, but didn?t focus on becoming a known name in the club scene. He graduated cum laude in clinical chemistry and later on he started a family. But he always got updated with the newest track releases on the House scene and as a bedroom DJ he spinned at online events and broadcasted some webradio shows. Thanks to ?Open Music Synergy?, a Flemish DJ/Producer group on the social network site ?Facebook?, he came in contact with beginning and more advanced producers. In 2010 he couldn?t resist the eager to learn more about music production. In just 1 year, working really hard, learning to make beats, analyzing tracks from his favourite artists, struggling through many video tutorials, books, manuals and tips from other producers, he stepwise evolved and got the hang of it. Dedicated to his vision, that everything is possible for those who believe in it, his determination to succeed and motto ?live ur dream? got him recognized as a new producer in town. January 2011, he got signed as ?Jigs?, with his first EP. Soon followed by a track on a WMC 2011 sampler album and by March 2011 he signed all his other tunes under his new name ?Smootrab?.
He?s a very motivated producer trying to create his own sound without holding on to one specific style of music. It varies from Tech House to Club House, from Progressive to straight up Techno with no boundaries. He likes to use tribal percussion, loves deep basslines, funky or latin grooves and experiments with more progressive uplifting breaks, Fx & drops.
Stay tuned cause some more exciting releases are coming for sure!

Professional Boxing is Coming Back in Norway
By Per Ake Persson
Professional boxing is coming back in Norway after the recent change of government. Proboxing has been prohibited in Norway since January 1, 1981. The exact details are to be worked out but officials in the Norwegian Boxing Federation tells media that the first profight make take place as early as in April 2014. However, amateur organisation AIBA where the Norwegian Federation is a member might have a say on who they want to fight professionally. Norway has one big star and that is WBA, WBC and WBO female welter queen Cecilia Braekhus, who is promoted by Team Sauerland.
Great, I'm happy for them, but lifting the ban in itself doesn't mean much. In my home country pro boxing is not banned, but there is almost no boxing scene to speak of.Comment by leff on 10-04-2013

Eric Laumen: Amidst the controversy of the Starr commission's Monica Lewinsky investigation, President Clinton, a centrist through and through, was forced to fall back on the support of his party's left-progressive wing and abandon bipartisanship.
Romney Hood vs. Obamaloney: A Bare-Knuckled Brawl for the Ages
Michael Sigman: Romney quadrupled down when he told Fox News that "(Obama's) serving a dish that's in contradiction to the truth." Them's fightin' words!
The Romney Campaign's Situational Demagoguery
Joseph Palermo: Worse than Swift Boating, worse than Willie Horton, Mitt Romney is running the most craven, dishonest, and hypocritical campaign we've seen in contemporary American politics.
Rove = Romney = Bush
Brent Budowsky: If Rove is not colluding with Romney in violation of law, there is no law, even by the shabby standards of the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United.
Birtherism Bites Back: Samuel D. Burchard and Donald Trump
Berry Craig: Birtherism is cool with a lot of tea party tilting Republican white folks who still aren't that cool with Romney. Hence, he hasn't flat told Donald Trump to clam up.
Rude Dispatches from the Class War
Tom Degan: Republican governors all across this diseased land have been trying to undo the job growth of the last 25 months for no other purpose than to make the president look bad for the November Election
Spare Me the Self-Righteousness
Berry Craig: Right on cue, GOP grandees have chorused that the president was "threatening," "intimidating" and "bullying" the Republican-majority high court with his recent comments.
Socialism: A GOP Plan Signed by Obama
Tina Dupuy: Is it perfect? No. Could it be improved? Absolutely. However, ObamaCare is the opposite of socialism, it's a market solution.
Healthcare 101: Ride for Free
Derrick Ashong: In the end it seems some conservatives truly love individual responsibility…as long as they don't have to practice it themselves.
Mitt: We're No Longer in an Etch-a-Sketch World
Robert Reich: There will be too many videos of Willard "Mitt" Romney during the primary saying things that were designed to appeal to increasingly far-right, far-out GOP primary voters – but will strike most Americans as bizarre if not despicable.
How The South Can Rise Again: Immigrants
Tina Dupuy: Despite the conservative bona fides, the South isn't pulling herself up by her bootstraps … mainly because she can't see her toes she's about to lose to diabetes.
Latinos in the South, A Political Piñata
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: The 2010 mid-term election demonstrated that immigration issues could be a potent political force within the GOP. Candidates across the country, and in particular in the South came into office by espousing harsh anti-immigration policies.
Will Romney Pick Gingrich for VP?
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: Gingrich is in that sweet spot to the right of Romney and to the left of Santorum. It is in this spot that Romney needs to concern himself.

Amid ongoing ethical debate over the parental tactics that led to a lung transplant for 11-year-old Sarah Murnaghan, many experts are acknowledging a crucial point:
Janet and Francis Murnaghan were right. National lung-transplant allocation rules have unfairly denied children under 12 the chance to get lungs from adult donors.
In an editorial last month in New England Journal, two such experts credited the parents with calling attention to the inequity - but not before criticizing them for waging a media and legal campaign to save Sarah.
"Appeals to list children for adult organs have merit," wrote lead author Keren Ladin, a Tufts University health policy researcher who has studied racial disparities in kidney transplants. "Designating age 12 as the cutoff arbitrarily disadvantages some children because age is a poor proxy for size."
