My 7 month old does that too, I swaddle him and put socks on his hands. I also try to cut his nails very short so he doesn't have his head all scratched. I use Mustela Shampoo, it's a foam shampoo for infants who have flakes due to cradle cap. My son had bad cradle cap because of the eczema and that helped, it took a while for it to go away but it really worked.

Is sports concussion doc by 'Hoop Dreams' director in Oscar mix?
"Head Games," a documentary about concussions in sports - from the NFL to Pee Wee leagues - feels like it is coming at a tipping point of a moment.
With the weekly list of ineligible-to-play players and the recent revelation that the NFL paid $2 million to three players with brain injuries, the film couldn't be more relevant. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

"As our leadership team focuses on achieving our goal of building a championship-level club that has a chance to win its division year in and year out, we will be constantly challenged with hard choices; this was certainly one of them. Making this change now allows us to continue to redefine a new era of Padres baseball while affording Kevin the opportunity to transition into his next baseball challenge."
Towers, 47, was named the club's seventh General Manager on November 17, 1995 and is the longest-tenured GM in club history. Over parts of 14 seasons, the Padres have gone 1,107-1,160 under his guidance, reaching the postseason four times (1996, 98, 2005, 06) and winning the second National League championship in club history during the 1998 campaign.
"He won't be unemployed very long," Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said Friday night in the Padres clubhouse upon hearing the news.
This might have been one of Towers most successful seasons with the club. He almost totally rebuilt the Padres during the course of the season -- the result being a 36-24 run since July 28.
Only four opening day starters were in the lineup on the night Towers 14-season run ended. Right-hander Kevin Correia is the lone remaining member of the rotation that opened the season and the bullpen was totally made-over by Towers in the final week of spring training and during the season.
During the season, Towers completed two major trades that added seven arms to the Padres system -- including four who finished the season with the Padres.
Not only did the July 31 trade of Jake Peavy to the White Sox bring left-hander Clayton Richard and reliever Adam Russell directly to the Padres, it reduced a $53 million drain on the strapped Padres finances. Earlier, the Padres received three pitchers from Oakland, including Sean Gallagher and Ryan Webb, for outfielder Scott Hairston.
"This throws everything we've done this year into the dumpster," said relief pitcher Mike Adams.

Marcy Winograd: Let our schools serve the 99% of students, parents, and teachers, not the 1% of billionaires. Protect and empower public education.
Friday Feedback: "LAUSD's Apartheid Hall of Shame (Part One)"
Friday Feedback: This week, Sylvia Pardo comments on Sikivu Hutchinson's article, "LAUSD's Apartheid Hall of Shame (Part One)," and Sharon Kyle responds.
A.J. Duffy: Truly a Man for All Seasons
Leonard Isenberg: It is the ultimate chutzpah for LAUSD to now laud the supposed achievements of its students, while turning a blind eye to the corruption that tries to sell this fraudulent result to the people of Los Angeles.
Anti-Teacher Union "Reformers" Hoisted on Own Petard
Randy Shaw: After years of teachers union bashing and corporate-led school "reform" efforts, anti-public school forces are now on the defensive. And the main reason is that the statistical measurements do not support their arguments, and even show a pattern of falsification.
It Takes Strength to Compromise — and It Costs Less, Too
Tanya Acker: There is a lot of discussion these days about the detriments of compromise. When you compromise, for instance, certain people may claim you don't stick to your guns and decide not to vote for you.
The National Education Association Flunks a Crucial Test
Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: As long as the N.E.A. as well as organized labor in general remain tied to the corporate-dominated Democratic Party, public education will deteriorate, critical thinking will be undermined, wages will remain low, and the working class will continue to suffer a decline.
Let the Teachers Teach
Jim Cullen: For me the most compelling questions in terms of improving historical literacy turn less on what we want students to know—I have no serious disagreement with what I see here—than how we can help them know it.
Why Obama Must Replace Arne Duncan
Mark Naison: Today, America's teachers are so disillusioned with the Obama administration that their participation in the 2012 is a big question mark.
George Carlin Understood Why LAUSD Does Not Educate
Leonard Isenberg: George Carlin puts it rather succinctly when he says, "They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking."
California Teacher Credentialing Corruption Ignored
Leonard Isenberg: The preconceived "dominant narrative" that mainstream media is programmed to spew out all over this country that vilifies and lays all blame for bad public education on teachers is allowed to trump reality of corruption and fraud from LAUSD.
The Death of Public Service
Steve Hochstadt: Republican governors across the country argue that teachers and police and all the other employees of local and state governments make much too much money.
A Crash Course for LAUSD's New Superintendent John Deasy
Leonard Isenberg: Superintendent Deasy is smart. I just haven't figured out whether he is naive or ignorant about what is going on at LAUSD or he just hasn't had the time to figure it out yet.
A Fair for What's Fair
Diane Lefer: I get it now: When public education works, it's transformative of the individual and of society. Maybe that's why it's under attack.

Lenovo's long phone "Vibe Z3 Pro" details leaked
It would appear that the long phone - the phone with a horizontal back - is coming from Lenovo for real. This is what's being rumored as the Lenovo Vibe Z3 Pro, otherwise known as the Lenovo Vibe Shot. It works with a 16-megapixel camera at its back and is - clearly - made for taking photos and video. This phone has been leaked in three color combinations - silver/white, black/silver, and red/black. They're made of glass and metal, if it wasn't already clear from the first render you see here.

Four big questions hang over the program. Well, five. The first four have to do with personnel: First, will Jason Kapono return for his SR year or go pro? Second, will Evan Burns sign with UCLA or either fail to qualify academically or go pro? Third, will anyone transfer? Fourth, will the Bruins sign another player with their last remaining scholarship or save it for the JR class?
The fifth question is whether Jim Saia will get the Fresno State position (or another job) and, if so, will Bob Bender (or Bill Grier) join UCLA's staff as an assistant and, if so, what will that mean? Okay, that's three questions in one, but so what?
I believe Jason Kapono will return for his SR year. I think Jason enjoys college and playing in front of his family (and being able to spend so much time with them). I think he's in love with his girlfriend and his new apartment. I think he understands that he will finally be the centerpiece of the team next season and a strong SR year might help his draft status. Of course, it's possible that Jason will decide he's taken his game as far as it can go in college and that he'd like to start making a lot of money now instead of a year from now. Unless his teammates show some creative scoring ability, opposing teams will simply tag Jason all year long and maybe he'll have trouble scoring 12 ppg. Nobody really knows what he'll do except Jason, and maybe Jason himself really doesn't know yet. But I will write this under the assumption that Jason is returning.
I believe Evan Burns will be a Bruin next year. I've never really thought it's actually been a legitimate issue, but I suppose anything is possible.
I don't believe anyone will transfer, though I think there's a reasonable possibility concerning one player who has struggled more than anyone else adjusting academically. I'll take the chance that he'll stay in school.
Will the Bruins sign another player this spring? As of now, Evan Burns, Mike Fey, Matt McKinney and Jon Crispin go on scholarship next season, so the Bruins have one more scholarship to offer under the 5/8 rule.
The Bruins have been actively recruiting 6-9 PF Erazem Lorbek of Slovenia for nearly a year. He's reportedly a fine 4 prospect with some wing skills who has already caught the eye of NBA scouts, but I've never seen him play and I have no comment on his talent. Lorbek has allegedly given UCLA a verbal commitment, but his eligibility status won't be clear before July 1. In addition, as far as I know, Jim Saia has been the only UCLA coach to have personal contact with Lorbek and it isn't clear if Lorbek's commitment to UCLA would waiver if Saia took a head job elsewhere.
The Bruins are recruiting 6-9 C Rod Benson of Torrey Pines High, a good C prospect who has also been the subject of an ardent pursuit by Stanford and Oregon, among other schools. However, UCLA has not yet offered Rod a scholarship and they are hoping to scout him more before making a final decision.
Sources tell us UCLA is exploring the Armando Surratt situation. Armando, a high quality 5-9 PG, signed with Fresno State in the fall, but has been granted his release and is talking to numerous other schools, including USC and Miami (Florida). Armando's academics were an issue for UCLA in the fall, but if the dang Trojans can recruit him now, maybe the Bruins can too. It would be interesting to see how Jim Saia will react to this situation if he becomes the head coach at Fresno State. More than likely, though, it's doubtful that UCLA would be able to move on Surratt given his academics.
My guess is that unless UCLA takes a transfer, they won't sign anyone else. And even if the Bruins did take a transfer, he'll have to sit out a year anyway. Of course, if the transfer went to high school in California, he could theoretically walk on for a year, paying in-state tuition so UCLA could add a 6th player, but I think that's ridiculous.
So, I see UCLA's scholarship roster next season as follows (my heights are based on my best guess from actually standing next to the players in practice every week):
Jason Kapono, 6-7+ SR SG/SF (16.0 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.1 apg, 45.9% FGs, 45.3% FTs, 85.6% FTs)
TJ Cummings, 6-9+ JR PF (7.6 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 51% FGs, 25% 3s, 74.5% FTs)
Dijon Thompson, 6-8 SO SG/SF (4.5 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 42.9% FGs, 27.1% 3s, 87% FTs)
Cedric Bozeman, 6-7 SO PG (4.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 3.5 apg, 41.3% FGs, 28% 3s, 28.6% FTs)
Ryan Walcott, 6-0 SO PG (2.5 ppg, 1.2 apg, 41.8% FGs, 34.6% 3s, 70% FTs)
Andre Patterson, 6-6 SO PF (2.3 ppg, 2.1 ppg, 0.6 bpg, 50% FGs, 64.7% FTs)
Josiah Johnson, 6-7 SO PF (0.8 ppg, 0.2 rpg)
Ray Young, 6-3 SR SG (7.0 ppg, 35.2% FGs, 21.2% 3s, 82.2% FTs in 2000-01)
Jon Crispin, 6-0 JR SG (7.2 ppg, 39.5% FGs, 35.6% 3s, 73.7% FTs at Penn State in 2000-01)
Evan Burns, 6-8 FR SG/SF/PF
Mike Fey, 7-0 FR C
Matt McKinney, 6-8 FR PF
In addition, Marcedes Lewis, 6-7 FR PF, will join the team after football season, and one can expect John Hoffart, 6-10 JR C, to walk on again.
Several factors seem to stand out on paper (of course, we all know what the paper was worth this year):
First, this team lacks proven post play and is thin at the post. Second, this team lacks a proven 3-point shooter besides Jason Kapono. Third, this team lacks a proven scorer besides Jason Kapono. Fourth, this team will probably be an outstanding FT shooting team. Fifth, this team appears to be noticeably more athletic, quicker and more versatile than this year's team. Sixth, this team has a lot of shooting guards/wings.
Post Play: This certainly appears to be a problem. Most likely, TJ will get the nod as the starting C. TJ rarely played like a C this season. Except when Lavin played him as the C on his "second unit." Then TJ played and looked very much like a C, with a 3-point shot to boot. We will all have to hope that means something. Two other reasons for hope: If TJ doesn't play C next season, he might not play at all. Matt Barnes faced the same situation as a JR when he was told to sit or play the 4 spot and he came through with flying colors. TJ also went from 6-8 and 206 as a FR to 6-9 and ½ and 226 as a SO (the program lists him at 6-10 and ½, but I don't buy it). It certainly isn't inconceivable that he could return at 240 next season. TJ had 11 rebounds in 35 minutes in UCLA's three NCAA Tournament games this season playing as the "C" on the second unit. If he could do that for a season, this becomes the biggest non-issue of all time. But is anyone willing to actually bet money he can do that for a season?
Mike Fey brings size and skills, but no college experience. Andre Patterson has a lot of post skills and great athleticism, but clearly must either gain weight or inches or both to be a major impact player. Both players have a lot of talent. It's easy to be pessimistic and it's easy to be optimistic about Mike and Andre. If they can play 50 mpg between them, UCLA could have a pretty good post game, but there's really no way for any rational person to make a definitive statement about them either way.
Marc Lewis will help by February 1, but will the Bruins already be out of the running by then? Matt McKinney is a wild card: There's just no telling how good this kid will be. He reminds me of former Bruin Dave Meyers in body type, athleticism and skills. But the Spiderman didn't have to play 15 mpg as a FR, except on the Brubabes.
Last thought on post play: Evan Burns is every bit as tall and as strong as Shane Battier was when Shane started at the 4 for Duke. But Evan has about a foot on Shane when it comes to vertical. Evan is good enough that NBA scouts have watched him play this year. They've done that for maybe 5 h.s. players total all season. Don't be surprised if Evan starts at the 4 for the Bruins next season. And does really well…
3-Point Shooting: Jason can do it. There's reason to believe that Jon can do it. Dijon hit 35% of his 3s in the Bruins' last 10 games. Ryan was over 40% from 3 until the last two NCAA Tournament games. Evan has a nice shot from 3, but he will be a FR. Even Ced's 28% from 3 was solid for a FR, but his shot sure looks ugly. My guess is that with Jason, Dijon, Evan, Jon and Ryan, the Bruins will be solid from 3, but not nearly as tough as they were this season. If the Bruins favor a 3-2 motion offense, Jason might find a lot of picks to free him up for open 3s. Dijon, Jon and the rest could benefit from this as well. Look for TJ to improve to over 30% next year…
Reliable Scoring: Most teams have focused on Jason for the last three years, but he's found ways to score anyway. Dijon, Evan, Ced, Ryan, Andre, Ray and Jon give the team players who can create their own shot, hit the J or take it to the basket. In short, they give UCLA a dimension that the team almost wholly lacked this season. While I hardly expect either TJ or Mike to play as well as Dan, they are both more versatile players than Dan and have better hands. I believe UCLA will find enough reliable scorers to support Jason and will be a much more consistently dangerous team next season.
Of course, one of the most important components of offense is defense. With the players on hand for next season, UCLA ought to be able to play pressure man d, extend the defense and convert in transition off of rebounds and turnovers. The Bruins really struggled to score in many games last season because almost all of their offense came in the halfcourt, due mainly to a lack of pressure defense. An upgrade in the team's defense could have a much bigger impact on the team's fortunes than any personnel analysis can possibly reveal. 10 fast break baskets a game and people will say, "Dan, Matt and Billy who?" In short, improved defense can more than negate any loss of shooting, experience or power in the middle. But who knows?
FT Shooting: Apart from Ced, the team sure has a lot of good FT shooters at every position. And my guess is that Ced will shoot over 70% next season. FT shooting can win a lot of games. Dijon and Ryan were particularly clutch at the end of games, more so than Billy and Jason. Ray was also very clutch as a JR, more so than Jason.
Quickness, Versatility: I've covered some of this already. The team should be much improved defensively. Players like Dijon and Evan can do a lot of damage in a motion offense, something Billy and Matt weren't capable of despite their skills. Jon and Ray are quicker and more athletic than Rico and should be more effective subs off the bench. Ced and Ryan both displayed flashes of skill and now have a year under their belts. Actually, I'm not giving Ced enough credit. While many people focused on what he didn't do, Ced had a stretch where he handed out 15 assists and made just one turnover. I firmly believe that Ced's game was severely hampered by his knee injury and that he will return next season as one of the top PGs in the country, even if he doesn't hit a lot of 3s (I hope he works out with Jason this summer). If UCLA's defense enables the team to force turnovers, watch out for what Ced will do on the fast break with guys like Dijon, Evan, Ray, Jon, Andre, and, yes, even Jason, to toss the ball to. Ryan is a classic motion PG. TJ can beat most Cs down the floor. He can hit 3s and has a nice jump hook inside. If he comes back next year at 240 and with a more aggressive attitude (if he doesn't, he'll sit behind Andre and Mike), he will give the team a lot of options. Mike is a traditional big man whose fundamentals are already way ahead of Dan's. With these players, the coaches can focus on the offense and defense and game preparation. The guys on this team already know how to play the game.
I guess Lavin won't be using many timeouts next year, either…
Wings: Lavin struggled to make up his mind on who to play and how many minutes to play them last year and the team suffered as a result. With Jason, Dijon, Evan, Ray and Jon all in the mix at the 2 and 3 spots, it's possible Lavin could be affected with "paralysis by analysis" again (his favorite phrase). I expect that Evan will play a lot of 4, and Jason and Dijon are just better than Jon and Ray, so that will likely make up Lavin's mind for him.
Where does that leave us? With questions, for better or worse. Until TJ, Mike, Andre and probably Evan step onto the floor and go up against some top post players, we will all have big doubts about this team's post play. Until Dijon and Jon and somebody else hit some 3s on a consistent basis, UCLA will likely see some zones. I don't think scoring or FT shooting will be a problem, and I believe the Bruins' defense and running game will be much improved.
It's possible this team won't be nearly as good as last year's team. It's possible that it will be better. I wish I was in a position to make a more certain call, but I'm not. No one else is, either. The team will almost certainly be more exciting next season, with all of that running and pressing instead of standing around at both ends of the floor.
If Jim Saia gets the Fresno State job or another job, I believe that Bob Bender will become UCLA's new assistant. I've gotten to know Jim pretty well and in my amateur eyes I think he's an excellent coach. But I think Bob will be a superior assistant for UCLA at this time. He has considerable coaching experience both as a head coach and as an assistant under Coach K, and he is highly-regarded by his peers as an evaluator of talent. Because of his experience, and because he doesn't have the close personal relationship with Lavin that Jim had, I believe that Lavin will probably be more open to new ideas from Bob than he was with Jim. Every head coach benefits from having terrific assistants, and it's hard to imagine UCLA finding a better assistant than Bob. Of course, the down side is that Bob will likely stay for 5 years or so at most and then take some major job somewhere else, but that's how this business works. If Mark Few stays at Gonzaga and for some reason Bob does not come to UCLA, I believe Lavin will try to hire Bill Grier from Gonzaga and I have a very positive view of Bill as well. So, losing Jim will hurt, but adding Bob or Bill will be a major benefit to the program and to Lavin.
I believe that both Patrick Sandle and Gerald Madkins are very strong. Coach Madkins should have a very positive effect on UCLA's recruiting. I think Lavin will have a very strong staff at UCLA next season, the best he's ever had. This is true if Jim returns. But I think Jim is ready to leave. FSU is his dream job and hopefully he will get it, though of course I wish Ray Lopes well (does anyone know that he's ShanTay Legans' uncle?).
The recruiting future: This is where everything gets hazy. UCLA has a good chance to sign Marcus Williams of Crenshaw/Oak Hill and one of three other guards: Ayinde Ubaka of Oakland High, Omar Wilkes of Loyola or Khalif Ford of Diamond Bar. Up front, UCLA's best bet for now appears to be Sean Phaler of Villa Park, though the staff is stepping up its efforts to sign one of Leon Powe of Oakland Tech, Nick Stiggers of Montclair Prep, Ekene Ibekwe of Carson and Kris Humphries of Minnesota. I don't think UCLA will be able to offer more than three total scholarships in the JR class.
A lot depends on performance, of course. Kris Humphries apparently had written off the Bruins and then called Steve Lavin after the Cincinnati game and swore like the king of all liars that UCLA was his dream school. I wonder if he still dreams about them after the Missouri game? Obviously, performance on the floor will affect recruiting more than any other factor. It will be interesting to see how Bender or Grier, both fanatic adherents to a modern motion offense, affect Lavin's recruiting strategy…
When it comes to Lavin leaving the program, it's hard to see since he has the backing of upper management at UCLA. Jokesters in the Chancellors' Office refer to him as "Albert Carnesale JR" or "the son Carnesale never had" because of his close relationship with the Chancellor. Of course, a few NCAA violations or academic disasters could chill even the best relationship at a major university, but disgruntled fans should understand that Lavin is on very solid footing with Carnesale and, in effect, the school. The only thing barring a long-term deal for him is that the school would have to give Toledo the same contract and Toledo hasn't exactly been burning up the bowl circuit lately. But if Toledo makes a bowl next season, don't be surprised to hear about Lavin potentially getting a long-term deal; discussions of such a deal have already taken place, even if Dalis denies it (he's not part of the discussions, anyway).
Of course, a new AD is coming in, and if you're a new AD trying to put your stamp of immortality on the UCLA athletic program the most obvious way is to fire the basketball coach. So, while Lavin has become a major supporter of finding an AD outside the department, he might find out that getting what you wish for isn't always a good idea. While I'm not privy to all of the Byzantine internecine politics of the UCLA athletic department, it's pretty obvious that Lavin has pissed off some people in the athletic department, perhaps because he opposed their candidacy for the AD's job or maybe because he was able to use Dalis's "Pitino" gaffe to go over the AD's head and get a better contract. Or maybe they just don't like him. As a result, negative information, some accurate and some inaccurate, has been flowing out of the athletic department for some time about Lavin. I presume the new athletic director will put a stop to that, but as I said I don't think Lavin is in any position to relax. The situation has become ugly and needs to be resolved, and hopefully the new athletic director or whoever will do that by cleaning house. But Lavin will almost certainly be caught up in the broom eventually if he makes some serious mistakes or doesn't continue to improve as a coach and as a recruiter.
For now, at least for the short term, it looks like Steve Lavin is the Head Coach at UCLA. You can scream about it until you're blue and gold in the face, but that's just the way it is…

On Tap Today: Mmmm...paczki
Putting the fat in Fat Tuesday, paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) are so baaaad/so gooood Polish doughnuts, stuffed with glorious, gooey filling (such as prune, raspberry or bavarian cream), fried up for Fat Tuesday. (Lent's tomorrow; might as well indulge just a little bit.)
You'll be able to find paczki in grocery stores and bakeries about town, but the unofficial headquarters for paczki are National Bakery & Deli locations in Milwaukee (3200 S. 16th St.), Brookfield (13820 W. Greenfield Ave.) and Greendale (5637 Broad St.). The bakeries open up at 6:30 a.m., and over 30,000 paczki will be sold.

1. Indian Supreme Court scheduled to review discriminatory law against India's LGBT community. In a win for LGBT activists, the Indian Supreme Court agreed to take another look at Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which effectively criminalizes India's LGBT community. After the Delhi High Court ruled in 2009 to strike out Section 377, a relic of British colonial rule, it was overturned by the Indian Supreme Court in 2013. On Tuesday, the court decided to hear a "curative petition" to the 2013 ruling. Read more »

The conference features 10 pitchers nominated for the Roger Clemens watch list for college baseball's pitcher of the year while 11 players have been named to the preseason All-American team.
GoJackets.com will take a look at the top six teams in the league with weekly previews prior to Georgia Tech's February 10th season opener with Georgia Southern. This week we will preview the Florida State Seminoles.
FLORIDA STATE - Mike Martin's Seminoles look to bounce back in a big way in 2007, after completing what was considered an average season for one of the top programs in the ACC. FSU was eliminated by Georgia in the regionals in Athens to complete a 44-21 season. They finished second to Clemson in the Atlantic Division with a 16-13 ACC record.
Infield - Two major changes have taken place for the Seminoles from last year's starting infield. Transfer Mark Hallberg will be starting at shortstop for Buster Posey, who has moved to catcher. The junior played the past two seasons at Illinois-Chicago. He hit .354 for the Flames and was a freshman All American. Dennis Guinn returns as the starting first baseman. Guinn hit .335 last year and led the team in home runs and RBIs. Guinn is on the preseason watch list for the Brooks Wallace player of the year award. Tony Thomas will once again be the starter at second. He's been their starter at second since his freshman year. Thomas hit .289 and most likely will be their leadoff hitter this year. Brandon Reichart should start at third for the departed Ryne Malone. Reichart sat out last season. He'll be pushed for the starting job by freshman Stephen Cardullo. Coach Martin has also talked about having Posey fill in at 3rd when he's not catching.
Outfield - Mark Gildea enters the 2007 season with the task of replacing FSU's most valuable player. Shane Robinson was a consensus All-American and the 2005 NCAA Player of the Year. Gildea hit .272 as a freshman utility player. Gildea will be pushed for the job by freshman Ohmed Danesh. The Seminoles return Travis Anderson in left and Jack Rye in right. Anderson hit .316 last year as a part-time starter and Rye finished the season with a .339 average and led the team in home runs with 12. Look for Ruairi O'Connor to be the top replacement in the outfield.
Battery - The catching position has gone through a complete overhaul since last year. 2006 starter Danny Diaz has been dismissed from the team. Diaz only hit .199 last year. His home run in the regionals against Georgia was the first by a Seminole catcher in two years. With the move of Buster Posey to catcher, Kyle Maxie has decided to transfer to Southern Mississippi. Posey, an All-Star at shortstop last year, will be behind the plate for the first time in his career. He'll add a better bat to the position and coach Martin is confident in his ability to handle the pitchers. Sophomore Brady Thomas will serve as Posey's backup.
The Seminole pitching staff returns 2 of 4 starters. Bryan Henry returns as the ace of the staff and is on the preseason watch list for the Roger Clemens award. He has also been named to the 3rd team preseason All-American team. Henry was 9-4 with a 2.88 ERA last season. He'll be backed up by Michael Hyde who had 11 starts in 2006. Hyde finished the year with at 9-1 record and a 4.34 ERA. Look for freshman Casey Whitmer and Bo O'Dell to round out the starting staff. The strenth of the staff will be the bullpen. Coach Martin's squad returns its closer and number one setup man. Luke Tucker returns as the closer. He finished 2006 with a 1.06 ERA and a 2-1 record. He is on the preseason Roger Clemens watch list and the 2nd team preseason All-American team. Brian Chambers will serve as his primary setup man. Chambers finished the 2006 season with a 2.80 ERA.
Newcomers - The Seminoles bring in a recruiting class ranked 13th in the country. Nine freshman, three jucos, and one transfer make up that 13th ranked class. Transfer Mark Hollberg looks to be the only starter from the group. Stephen Cardullo and Ohmed Daresh should make significant contributions at third and in center field. O'Dell and Whitmer will be counted on to fill out the Seminole starting rotation.
Losses - Center fielder Shane Robinson leaves behind some big shoes to fill. Robinson hit .361 and led the ACC in stolen bases and runs scored. The 2005 Player of the Year will be hard to replace. Ryne Malone has been the number two hitter on the Seminole squad the past three years in spite of an off year last year. Malone was second team All-ACC in 2004 and 2005. The pitching staff will have to find answers for the loss of starters Barret Browning and Tyler Chambliss. Chambiss moved into the starting rotation last year after being their closer in 2005. He finished the year with a 2.97 ERA and a 12-4 record. He was voted to the second team by the voters for the All-ACC team. Browning compiled a 7-2 record with a 5.72 ERA. Part-time starter and relievers Mark Sauls and Matt DiBiasi both graduated.
Outlook - The success of FSU in 2007 will depend greatly on how necomer Mark Hallberg adjusts to ACC pitching and how quickly Buster Posey can learn the catching position. Finding two new starters will also be important for Martin's team. The Seminoles hope to bounce back from what they considered an average season in 2006. Their games with UNC, Miami, Clemson, and Georgia Tech will determine how they fare in the ACC this year. They will not have Virginia on their schedule. Look for the Seminoles to once again finish behind Clemson in the Atlantic Division. The veteran lineup will help carry them to postseason play and a top 6 finish in the ACC.

OSHA Proposes $103,000 in Penalties
North Charleston, S.C. -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today cited International Marine and Industrial Applicators, Inc., for failing to protect workers from fall hazards that contributed to the death of a Hispanic worker. The citations carry penalties totaling $103,000.
The fatal accident occurred May 5 aboard a ship docked for repairs at Pier D of the Detyens Shipyard, North Charleston. During repair work on the ship, screening had been removed from an opening in the hull that allowed a large fan on the A/B deck to pull air in or push air out of the ship. The removal of the screening left an unguarded 7-foot by 6-foot hole, 70 feet above the waterline.
Working alone, without any fall arrest equipment, and within inches of the unguarded hull opening, the victim climbed a ladder and began removing rust from the top of the eight-foot-high steel fan and the walls that enclosed it. Evidence from the OSHA investigation suggests that the worker tried to reach a section of the wall, lost his balance and fell 78 feet to his death.
"Lifelines and safety belts --- well named safety equipment --- could have prevented this tragedy," said Jim Drake, OSHA acting area director in Columbia. "The company knew workers should have them, but didn't have enough for everyone."
International Marine and Industrial Applicators received two willful citations with proposed penalties totaling $70,000 for failing to provide workers with safety belts and lifelines and exposing them to falls through unguarded openings. The agency defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
OSHA also issued additional citations with proposed penalties totaling $33,000 for failing to: conduct a hazard assessment prior to beginning repairs; train workers in the proper use of safety equipment and provide them with the appropriate equipment; frequently check on employees working alone in isolated areas; develop and implement written plans to minimize employee exposure to infectious materials and dangerous chemicals.
OSHA, concerned about the large numbers of Hispanic workers being killed and injured on the job, has instituted safety programs across the country for Spanish-speaking workers and employers who hire non-English speaking workers.
The company has 15 working days to contest the OSHA citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by staff from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration area office located in the Strom Thurmond Federal Building, 1835 Assembly St., Room 1468, Columbia, S.C.; phone: (803) 765-5904.

Win a Wrinkle Lab Expert Institute kit by Lancaster
The holidays are just around the corner. And as we all know, Christmas and New Year's are not all about the fun. Anyone responsible for making the holidays as cheery as they could be understands that the festive season leaves more than just memories of joy and laughter.
It leaves wrinkles too, especially if you're the kind who's easily stressed out.
We understand this dilemma, so we've decided our Christmas gift to you should have more utility than a tube of concealer and a new shade of lipstick. After the laughter has faded away, and all you have is a bunch of dishes to wash, a messy villa to clean up, and a new bunch of fine lines you've never seen before, it's good to look forward to something that will help restore that youthful glow in your face, so you can approach 2011 with a fresh start and younger longer skin to boot.
This month, we've partnered with Lancaster to help you get through the holiday season looking younger and better prepared for the challenges of the year ahead. What's up for grabs this time? Two Lancaster Wrinkle Lab Expert Institute kits, for two winners, complete with the Wrinkle Lab Precise Correction concentrate and the triple-intensity Beauty Accelerator.
The Wrinkle Lab Expert Institute takes Lancaster's most powerful anti-wrinkle serum and multiplies its efficiency with a triple-intensity Beauty Accelerator, developed in collaboration with a major French supplier, to bring salon-standard professional anti-wrinkle treatments into the comfort of your own home.
What's the secret? It's a combination of the Wrinkle Lab wrinkle correcting concentrate – that pushes-up (88%*), fills-in (86%*) and smooths-out (88%*) wrinkles from every angle – with a patented hand-held triple-intensity Beauty Accelerator smooths. Specifically developed to free direct micro-currents that redynamize cells to activate serum penetration, the Wrinkle Lab Beauty Accelerator comes with a supple roller-head that reaches into every corner of a wrinkle to trigger a unique "stretching" effect. Working like a magic "wand", it offers three levels of intensity to target wrinkles of every shape and size.
