TRY! VIDEO COMING SOON
20 Min: Anscombe pulls up just short with the attempt.
19 Min: Auckland win a penalty just in front of halfway. Looks like Anscombe will have a pop from a fair distance. Well placed out in front however so it's a decent chance.
18 Min: Strong scrum from Auckland and Mathewson clears it out, throws it very high to Nathan Hughes and the ball is lost forward and banged downfield by Shaun Treeby.
16 Min: Frae Wilson let's the ball fall through his arms from the restart and knocks it on. Good pressure from Auckland.

He's shut down.Toomaga-Allen gets involved again and lays off a brilliant pass to Fuglistaller, Piutau with the tackle and the offside steal from the ruck, which wasn't actually formed but sort of had been. Tough luck Charles.
12 Min: So the penalty is from right out in front of the sticks and now there is a chance for Gareth Anscombe to score his 100th point of the season…which he does. Ansocombe remains the highest points scorer in the competition this season.
11 Min: Referee blasts the teams at scrum time as 'ugly'. Which is about right. Let's see who will win the beauty contest this time…and it's Auckland who get the quick tap. Mathewson gives it off to Anscombe who tries to put Piutau in some space on the wing. Now the charge from Angus Ta'avao. Wellington eventually pinged for offside.
10 Min: Wellington with the ball now…Mathewson's getting himself in and about the ruck. Ball's been turned over from his persistence but Auckland throw a forward pass in their haste to counter.
9 Min: Auckland with a maul just past halfway. Toomaga-Allen gets involved and steals the ball away though, but he is shuffled out and Mathewson and Toomaga-Allen exchange some words.
8 Min: Wellington restart is very high…ball with Anscombe who kick downfield, taken by Alapati Leiua…now it's Bateman with a high bomb which is easily read by Charles Piutau. He tries a little chip and chase and the ball goes out along with the linesman who's taken out by Frae Wilson.
6 Min: Auckland looking to get straight back in the match with a good tackle on Ngatai from the restart, Auckland win the penalty after he failed to release. Anscombe with the penalty kick…Which he lands.
4 Min: Woodward converts the try from the sideline.

Pregame banter:
It's a classic provincial rivalry at Eden Park this evening as Auckland host Wellington in a top of the table ITM Cup Premiership clash.
Auckland goes into the match coming off a convincing win against Taranaki on Wednesday night.
However the visitors bring their own form to the table, having won four of their last five.
The home side will be without the services of wing George Moala and number eight Peter Saili.
Moala broke his leg in Wednesday night's win, while Saili, whose been playing with a broken thumb, also sits out.
Wellington field the same side they did against Waikato, the only change seeing Ross Filipo return to the bench after an injury layoff.

Auckland's Nathan Hughes runs in a try

Disgraced. Humiliated. Embarrassed.
That was how his attorney described former Cuyahoga County Sheriff Gerald McFaul at his sentencing last July.
But now we know that, like all things McFaul, there was another side.
Presumptuous. Arrogant. Greedy.
Those words better describe the shakedown artist who brazenly tried to use campaign contributions he may have strong-armed from employees and vendors -- the very acts that helped lead to his downfall -- to make restitution for those crimes.
Clearly, McFaul still believes he can game the system. And why not? For three decades, he ran the Sheriff's Office like a "me" political bazaar. Employees reportedly contributed based on rank -- at least $50 for lieutenants and above, and $25 for the rank and file. Highlights included cash on Christmas and his birthday. Staff money also was key to McFaul's annual political fundraiser -- a clambake. His employees sold tickets on the taxpayers' time. They hawked personalized coffee cups, shirts, hats and instant bingo tickets.
It is unconscionable -- but not surprising -- that McFaul would try to dip into that campaign kitty to pay the $130,000 in court-
ordered restitution. Luckily, he's not going to get away with it. A spokeswoman for the Ohio secretary of state's office told Plain Dealer reporter Laura Johnston that such restitution was "improper use of campaign funds."
Donate the money to charity, or, if it is allowed, to the county, and the taxpayers from whom so much was taken. Then have McFaul, who earned about $110,000 annually, do something he obviously has done too rarely: Dip into his own pocket and pony up.

Tomas Berdych played the kind of match last night that makes you wonder why he's never been able to pull himself up into the Top 5. The result: Once again, there will be no Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal showdown. Berdych knocked out Federer in the fourth round, 6-4, 6-7, 7-6. Just like in his Indian Wells loss to Marcos Baghdatis, Federer held match point but coudn't close the door.
The highlight of the match in terms of sustained high-quality play came in the second set, with the 3-3 and 4-4 games both going to multiple deuces and the two players trading exhausting, line-painting groundstrokes. At one point, with first Federer and then Berdych stabbing back a massive overhead blast to keep the rally going, the stadium rose to its feet en masse in appreciation and awe.
When Federer pushed the match to a deciding third set, momentum seemed to tilt his way, but Berdych's serve -- and Federer's inconsistency -- kept him right there with the World No. 1.
"My game has issues at the moment," Federer said afterward. "I'm definitely lacking timing. I don't know where that comes from."
He didn't sound too concerned. Sure, Miami is a Masters tournament, but only the majors really matter to Federer at this point in his career. Berdych moves on to the quarterfinals, while Roger heads off on vacation until the Rome Masters at the end of April.On the women's side, let's give a hand to Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli. The surprise 2007 Wimbledon finalist will face Venus Williams in the semifinals after knocking off Svetlana Kuznetsova and Yanina Wickmayer.
Kuznetsova has been horribly inconsistent of late, but if the defending French Open champion thought she could work herself into Monday's match, Bartoli quickly set her straight. With that stark, Indian-chief face of hers screwed on tight, Bartoli planted herself inside the baseline and sent missiles to the corners until Kuzzy ran herself out. In the second set, the underdog bageled the World No. 4.
Next up was rising star Yanina Wickmayer, who's been on the verge of a big breakthrough all season. It didn't happen in Miami, for the stocky Bartoli, looking like a bag of cats compared to the tall, sleek Belgian, zapped shots into the corners that Wickmayer could only stare at.
Bartoli is one of the nuttier women on tour, but it's a particularly charming brand of nuttiness. No tennis player has ever had more tics. Between points she bounces constantly, leaping straight up, over and over, a racket-wielding hover craft. Before she steps up to serve, she wanders behind the baseline, trying out swings. It's as if she's the lead character in "Memento" -- if she doesn't constantly remind herself how to serve she'll end up just standing there, staring across the net at her opponent, with no idea what to do.
She may act like a bag lady out on court, but the 15th-ranked Bartoli, who slugs double-fisted off both sides, has been the most consistently impressive player in the draw and is a serious threat to sneak away with the biggest title of her career.
The 25-year-old has complained in the past that she's the most overlooked Top 20 player on tour, that she can't get a racket or clothing sponsorship deal because she's not blond enough or svelte enough.
If she's right, then the tennis-gear honchos are missing out. Bartoli is that rarest of things in professional tennis these days: One of a kind.

Celtics fans hope Jason Terry drives past opposing point guards next season.As this year's Summer Forecast series rolls into Week 2, we shift the focus to predictions on how some of the Celtics key players will perform next season. Call it Expectations Week (yeah, we know, not nearly as cool as Shark Week).
For three weeks in August we'll break up the summer doldrums by trying to predict exactly how the 2012-13 season will play out for the Boston Celtics.
We tip it off with maybe the team's biggest offseason acquisition: Jason Terry. The 13-year veteran, inked for three seasons utilizing the full value of the midlevel exception, gracefully transitioned to a reserve role during his time in Dallas and thrived (averaging at least 15.1 points per game in each of those seasons and winning the league's sixth man award in 2009). Terry also brings eight seasons of playoff experience, playing a crucial role in the Mavericks' 2011 title run.
My expectations? Terry should emerge as the no-conscious bench scorer that the Celtics have so desperately craved since winning their own title in 2008. That's a bolder prediction than you might initially think. There's a pattern here where Boston has struggled to find offensive consistency off its bench. Each year, the preseason buzz is about how this is the reserve cast that finally pushes Boston over the top. And, invariably, the underproduction of the bench is pegged as one of the reasons for Boston's inability to achieve its ultimate goal in recent seasons.
The Celtics have tried all sorts of iterations, including last year when they went with characters over pure talent. Injuries didn't help matters as the team lost reserves like Jeff Green, Chris Wilcox, and Jermaine O'Neal during the season, but there's renewed hope this offseason that Boston has cobbled together the sort of depth that might distinguish it from its chief rivals.
That confidence comes in large part from Terry, who oozes it.
Accepting that sixth man role takes a special breed, and Terry embraces it. While some come to Boston and walk on eggshells because of the presence of a veteran core, Terry won't be overwhelmed after his time in Dallas.
Let's face it, here's a guy that got a tattoo of the Celtics logo spinning the Larry O'Brien trophy this past weekend, and he hasn't even put on his new No. 4 jersey yet. This is almost certainly the JET's last flight and he seems pretty confident about his chances of adding some additional title hardware before his final descent.
There's a lot to like about his game beyond the obvious. He's a combo guard who can handle the ball (and create his own offense that way). That affords Boston the luxury of not having to carry a pure backup ball-handler, as the likes of Terry and Keyon Dooling can run the offense when Rondo's on the bench. His 3-point shooting should ease the loss of Ray Allen. And Terry is insanely durable, while the Celtics as a whole has been anything but over the last four years.
Read on for our panel predictions.
Greg Payne, ESPN Boston
I expect Terry to deliver something that's eluded Boston for the greater part of the last five seasons: bench consistency. Finally (finally!) the Celtics have someone who embraces and prides himself on the sixth-man role and, even if he isn't a spring chicken anymore, Terry won't have any trouble filling it up off the bench. He'll probably be more of a combo guard than anything, as I envision him bringing the ball up and scoring off the dribble, or dishing early in the offense and being set up for open looks later in the shot clock. He'll knock down a boatload of 3-pointers, and he'll be good enough in the clutch to make everyone miss Ray Allen that much less. But that's just on-the-court stuff. Off the floor, he'll be a veteran leader and a great voice in the locker room (he and Keyon Dooling need a radio show or a podcast or something). Having won a championship, he'll only add to the never-say-die attitude we've seen out of this group in recent seasons, particularly last year.
Brian Robb, CelticsHub
I expect offensive consistency and creativity off the bench. Both have been foreign concepts for the Celtics reserves over the past few seasons, as the team's overall offensive output has steadily decreased largely due to a lack of serviceable production from the second unit. The arrival of Terry should change that. The former Maverick played the offensive-sparkplug role to perfection in Dallas, using his improvisation and shooting ability to average 15-plus points per game for the past six seasons. It's a different supporting cast in Boston, but a revamped Celtics bench, anchored by Terry, should excel as a unit, before the sixth man joins the starters for crunch time most games. Additionally, I expect a full healthy season from the 6-foot-2 guard, who has missed a mere 28 games in his 13-year NBA career, bringing some reliability for Doc Rivers to turn to off the pine. Perhaps most importantly, though, Terry gives Doc another new option at the end of games now in isolation plays besides Paul Pierce. With this additional wrinkle, unpredictability should return to the C's offense late in contests for the first time in a long time.
Tom Westerholm, Celtics Town
One change that Celtics fans will notice with Terry will be in the type of cuts he utilizes to get open. The majority of Ray Allen's 3-point attempts came off long, elaborate cross-court movements involving several screens. Terry played differently, but still effectively, in Dallas. Where most of Allen's 3-point attempts were thought-out and premeditated, Terry's are often more of a sneak-attack. While a play develops and the ball-handler drives to the basket, Terry stands on the right wing and makes his way slowly to one side, lulling his defender into a false sense of security before taking two quick steps along the 3-point line and finding himself open. Rajon Rondo, with his driving skills and extremely high basketball IQ, is uniquely suited to this kind of trickery and should be able to capitalize on Terry's on-court spontaneity.
Your turn: What do you expect from Jason Terry this season? Sound off in the comments.

We all know that quality design is going to attract new visitors to your site, but what doesn't get discussed as often is how we get that design to function in a way that will enhance conversion rates and bring in more revenue...
Today I am going to offer five copywriting design tips that will help you get your pages converting faster than you can say jiminy crickets.
1. Keep it Simple Stupid, White Space Is Your Friend
The K.I.S.S. philosophy is in full effect for this one, and has proven to me time and time again that you DON'T need an outstanding design to attract conversions, all you need is a clear concise pathway or red carpet if you will, to the checkout page, lead form, phone number, whatever you are trying to convert and monetize.
White spaces make page scanning a breeze for your visitors who will mainly be panning the page looking for little tidbits of info they came crawling for, if your copy doesn't stand out in the headlines you wont catch their attention. Short paragraphs are also your friend here as they will be read about twice as much as long ones, and that could mean the difference between a user leaving or staying.
2. Choose Appealing Fonts that STAND OUT
We all love beautiful fonts, however those beautiful fonts should never create a bad surfing experience for the user or make readability a chore. Clear, concise, easy to read, the goal here is to convey a message not a hieroglyph. The bold fonts can work well when combined with a lot of white space, and for heaven's sake please stay away from handwriting fonts, this is the internet, not the 60's.
3. Visual Aid Can Go a Long Way
Who was it that said a picture is worth a thousand words. Take that to the next level with engaging videos, podcasts and even digital shorts and animations to see how much you can drive your conversion rates through the roof. Most of the best sales pages on the web today utilize some form of visual aid, and it is recommended to ease the user across the page with more than just text.
4. Split Your Copy with Multiple Headings
Note how easy it is to read through this article. Everything is conveyed in its own heading and short paragraph to make reading a breeze. If you are not doing this for your readers you are driving up your bounce rates, lowering your rankings, and losing money. Categorizing your content into sections just makes sense and it helps those readers who came for something specific find it that much faster.
5. Keep it to one font color
While you may be tempted to throw up some uber headings full of zest and lifelike colors, in past studies this has shown to be a bad thing. Too many fonts and colors make your site look ugly and unprofessional, but even worse; they will hurt your conversion rates. Using two font colors can confuse your reader as to which is text and which is a link. Making headings a different color can work but again I would try to keep it as simple as possible.
Last words
Hopefully these five simple copywriting rules can make your web design and writing that much better, and I hope you have learned something at a bare minimum today. What are some other methods of usability you use for designing and writing, I would love to hear your feedback so leave a comment below and let's start the discussion.

Last season was a year full of injuries for NFC North running backs. Adrian Peterson was lost with a torn ACL on Christmas Eve, while Matt Forte, along with the Bears playoff hopes, went down due to a grade II MCL sprain in Week 13.
Heading into 2012, the running game will play an integral part in determining the division winner. A single injury can turn a team's season around, and a breakout star can vault a team up to the top.
Here are the top eight running backs in the division going into next season.

CLEVELAND — Avery Johnson has been wishing for a start like this.
After falling behind by 20 or more points in the second quarter of their first three games of the season, and trailing at halftime in each of their first four, the Nets finally got off to a quick start tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They led after the first quarter, and led at halftime by six points.
But their lead melted away in the third quarter, undone by a series of turnovers and 3-point field goals by the Cavaliers.
And when the game was over, the scoreboard had a familiar look to it: Cavaliers 98, Nets 82. The loss was the Nets' fourth straight, following their season-opening win at Washington on Dec. 26.
"We had a really good run in the first half, got the ball moving," Johnson, the Nets coach, said.
"But in the second half, they got hot from the 3-point line. They shot (61.5) percent from 3 … so we didn't do a good job of defending the 3-point line, didn't do a good job in the second half or really, finishing our layups … and again, just too many turnovers."
The Nets committed 22 turnovers in the game, leading to 25 Cavaliers points. Point guards Deron Williams and Sundiata Gaines had six and five turnovers, respectively, and Anthony Morrow had four.
"I'm definitely frustrated," Williams said afterward, "frustrated with how I'm playing. I'm not helping this team at all. I'm hoping this gets turned around and we get some wins."
Gaines, who started his third consecutive game alongside Williams in the backcourt, took responsibility for turning the ball over.
"We just stopped playing defense," he said. "We were missing some shots; we had a lot of turnovers. Mainly it starts with me — I've got to take better care of the ball, get the team organized, and do a better job."
The Nets were playing their fifth game in seven nights, but would not use fatigue as an excuse.
"That had nothing to do with it," Johnson said.
If it did, the Nets are going to have to figure out a way to freshen up fast, because they play again tonight, their sixth game in eight nights, when they host the Indiana Pacers at Prudential Center.
Trailing, 73-67 at the start of the fourth quarter, the Nets fought back and got within 78-76, on a 3-pointer by Morrow (15 points) with 8:47 to go. But the Cavaliers then went on a 12-2 run to seize control of the game.
Antawn Jamison, who had a game-high 23 points, and Daniel "Boobie" Gibson (19 points off the bench, including five 3-pointers) had key baskets in the Cavaliers' run.
Kyrie Irving, the West Orange native and St. Patrick (Elizabeth) High graduate who the Cavaliers took with the first pick overall in the June draft, had 13 points, four assists and four rebounds in his first game against his home-state team. The 19-year-old did have four turnovers.
Williams led the Nets with 16 points and had five assists, three steals and four rebounds. But his last points came with 6:57 remaining in the third period, giving the Nets a 61-58 lead.
He sat for a three-minute stretch in the middle of the fourth quarter, and the Nets went from down three points when he left, to down seven before he returned.
"I'm still trying to figure out the rotations," Williams said. "It's been different every game. I'm sure coach is trying different things out. Hasn't really settled on it so, it'll come."
He did concede Johnson may be deliberately limiting his minutes due to the heavy schedule of games. So far he is averaging 33:03 per game.
"Nobody has really played minutes," he said.
"I think it's something coach is doing consciously to save our legs. Started out six games in eight days, so that's a lot."

The New Orleans-shot "Lay the Favorite," the New Orleans Middle East Film Festival and Tom Cruise -- all earn spots in this week's survey of things rattling around in the head of one movie buff:
5. "Lay the Favorite." This New Orleans-shot gambling comedy -- starring Bruce Willis, Vince Vaughn, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rebecca Hall, and directed by Stephen Frears -- doesn't have a distributor yet, but it does have a premiere date. It will be a featured selection at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, which is set for Jan. 19-29, it was announced this week. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
4. Crescent City connections. Neither was made locally, but two major-studio films opening nationwide this week boast local links: The ensemble romantic comedy "New Year's Eve" was written by devoted Saints fan Katherine Fugate, whose personal guest at Monday night's red-carpet premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles was none other than New Orleans Saints owner Rita Benson LeBlanc. In addition, the R-rated Jonah Hill comedy "The Sitter" was directed by local homeowner David Gordon Green. Congrats to both.
3. Hollywood South history. Ed and Susan Poole, the local hobbyists-turned-film-historians, will share their encyclopedic knowledge of Louisiana film history -- dating all the back to 1892 -- with a multimedia presentation Tuesday night at 7:30 at the Chalmette Movies. Ed Poole is an interesting guy with interesting stories to tell. Find details at the Chalmette Movies website.
2. New Orleans Middle East Film Festival. The annual, 10-day event -- celebrating the spirit, the struggles and the cinema of the region -- gets started tonight at the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center with the Iranian dissident documentary "This is Not a Film." As always, it promises to be powerful, profound stuff. Find details in Friday's (Dec. 9) edition of Lagniappe.
1. New Orleans, boomtown. "Mission Impossible" star Tom Cruise is the latest A-lister slated to shoot in town in the first quarter of 2012, starring in the recently announced Universal-backed sci-fi action film "Horizons" (also known as "Oblivion"). He joins a long list of notable names -- including Quentin Tarantino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Mark Wahlberg, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis -- expected to be in town in what continues to shape up as a remarkably busy start to 2012 for the local film industry.

A 100-year-old photo of the iceberg that experts believe is the one that sunk the Titanic is being auctioned off next month in New Hampshire by RR Auction. The black-and-white photo shows a huge iceberg with a distinctive elliptical shape, and was taken on April 12, 1912, two days before the Titanic hit the iceberg that would send it to the bottom of the North Atlantic, killing 1,502 people. It was taken by the captain of the S.S. Etonian, and bears the caption: "Copyright. Blueberg taken by Captain W.F. Wood S.S. Etonian on 12/4/12 in Lat 41 degrees 50 N Long 49 degrees 50 W. Titanic struck 14/4/12 and sank in three hours." Although there were no photos of the iceberg before this one surfaced, two Titanic crew members drew sketches of the iceberg they saw, both of which are similar to the elliptical shape of the one in the photo. Additionally, the coordinates written on the photo are near where the wreckage of the Titanic lies on the ocean floor.
Congrats to the doctor! Marsha Marsha Marsha McKay!
Congrats to Nancy! Listen to her stoy, press play.
Alright Roxanne! Congratulations.
Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour before going to bed Saturday night November 3, 2012.
Here's some great info that came from the John Tesh Radio Show this week:
Did you know fall is the perfect time to adjust your sleep schedule and get more rest? Take advantage of the earlier sunsets and turn in 10 minutes earlier each night. After a week, you'll be getting an extra hour of rest.
This weekend brings the end of Daylight Saving Time, which can leave many of us tired from the adjustment! So why not start working in extra minutes of sleep at the same time?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- For a half century, Labor Day weekend on the southern shores of Lake Erie was all about the Cleveland International Air Show, about staring skyward to catch a glimpse of a fighter jet as it screamed by or see a C-130 as it lumbered above Burke Lakefront Airport.
But now, the air show is canceled for this year -- although planners say it will be back for 2014.
This year would have been the 50th annual show since its origins in 1964 and now Cleveland is without its signature event for the end of the summer. Earlier this month, air show officials had said the show would go on despite the canceling of a visit by the Thunderbirds.
The air show has attracted 60,000-100,000 visitors each year to Burke Lakefront Airport, making it one of the region's largest annual events, bringing in about $7.1 million to the city, according to a news release.
So what should we do? What can Cleveland planners and promoters come up with to mark the end of the summer season? To bring people and money into the city?
Got an idea? Other than having the Cleveland Indians involved in a torrid pennant chase (and they're only home on Monday that weekend...against the Orioles), what can Cleveland do to make the town come alive?
Let us know in the comment stream below.

Roundup: Dodgers swipe Uribe from division rivals
With one week remaining until the start of the usually-hectic Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., the busy Dodgers made another move, agreeing to terms with Juan Uribe on a three-year deal reportedly worth about $21 million.
With Uribe, the Dodgers swipe a big piece of the Giants' World Series championship run away from their division rivals and add a much-needed right-handed power bat to the middle of the lineup. Uribe played 103 games at shortstop, 26 at third base and 24 at second while batting .248 with 24 homers and 85 RBIs in 2010 (not including a postseason run that saw him drive in nine runs in 14 games).
In Los Angeles, he figures to start at second base, which will likely lead to the non-tendering of Trade Deadline acquisition Ryan Theriot. Despite dealing with instability up top, the Dodgers had already locked up their rotation by re-signing Ted Lilly and acquiring Jon Garland.
Here's more from around the league …
* The Rangers signed catcher Yorvit Torrealba to a two-year
contract. Torrealba, a 10-year veteran who played in 95 games for the
Padres in 2010 — batting .271 with seven homers and 37 RBIs while
starting 89 games — fills a void left by Bengie Molina (likely retired) and Matt Treanor (free agent). The deal, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan, is worth $6.25 million.
* They also avoided an arbitration hearing with Mark Lowe and agreed on a one-year contract. The deal is worth $1.2 million, plus another $100,000 in incentives.
* A source told ESPNNY.com the Yankees believe Derek Jeter and his agent, Casey Close, need to "drink the reality potion." The unnamed source told the Web site the Yankees are still not budging from their three-year, $45 million offer, and Jeter still seeks a longer contract between $23 million and $25 million per season. Talks between the two sides did not take place during the holiday weekend and none are currently scheduled, ESPNNY.com added.
* While the Jeter negotiations appear heated, ESPNNY.com added that talks between the Yankees and Mariano Rivera are "progressing much smoother." Rivera will likely receive a bump from his 2010 salary, probably in the $16-17 million range, but the question remains whether he gets one or two years.
* Free-agent first baseman/outfielder/designated hitter Lance Berkman was originally disappointed the Astros didn't want him back, but the Texas product told The Houston Chronicle "there's been a lot of interest" in his services. Berkman specifically named the Cardinals, Cubs, Rockies, Athletics, Pirates and Blue Jays as teams who have been in touch, but added he hasn't received a formal offer yet. Berkman has said he'd prefer to play in the National League, adding that he's still capable of serving as an outfielder and first baseman.
* The Astros have talked about the possibility of an extension with right-hander Wandy Rodriguez, general manager Ed Wade told The Houston Chronicle. Rodriguez hits free agency after the 2011 season.
* The Mets will do their due diligence in shopping shortstop Jose Reyes this winter, but considering his value has never been lower, it would be shocking if they actually went ahead and traded him, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo writes.
* The Twins have until late December to agree on a contract with Japanese middle infielder Tsuyoshi Nishioka, who sounds like someone excited to play in Minnesota. In quotes passed along by The Minneapolis Star Tribune, Nishioka told the Japanese press he has no preference between shortstop and second base and said, "I don't think that I will give up the idea of going to the Majors because of the amount of money."
"Minnesota Twins has been contending to the playoff every year," he added. "To play for the good team is one of my wishes. I am happy that I could advance one step forward." The Twins won their exclusive-negotiating for Nishioka on Friday and could use him to fill their middle-infield needs.

Yankees could be in the market for a catcher
NEW YORK — You can never really rule out any free agent with the Yankees, so even though Jorge Posada is coming back mostly as a designated hitter next year to pave the way for a youngster like Jesus Montero, New York could still pursue a safety net in the open market.
General manager Brian Cashman volunteered that on Thursday, saying he "wouldn't even close the door on looking out in the marketplace to see if I can secure somebody else out there as a cushion."
Posada, 39 and coming off knee surgery, will spend most of, if not all of his time at DH in 2011, so it'll come down to prospects Montero and Austin Romine, as well as backup Francisco Cervelli. Free-agent catching options include A.J. Pierzynski, Rod Barajas, John Buck, Gerald Laird, Matt Treanor and a host of others (you can probably rule the top prize, Victor Martinez, out of the equation, though).
"We're certainly not handing a job to anybody," Cashman said. "We have some serious young, good catching coming. They have to earn it, though. They have to earn it for the next level. No one's going to be handing anything to anybody."

Villagers Raise Concerns Regarding Reservoir
At Thursday's village council meeting, resident Ken Mason voiced concerns regarding the Cadiz Reservoir, located on Reservoir Lane.
Water is being drawn by Kokosing Construction for use by the Hess Corporation to frack wells on Toot Rd. Mason lives near the Reservoir, and every day he hears the drone of the pump and sees the changes occurring in the lake. Mason, who has had a long career in business, said he understands the economic benefits that revenue from the reservoir offers.
However, he is concerned about how much water is being taken and what the effects will be in the future. Water is being pulled out at a rate of 800,000 gallons to 1.2 million gallons per day. Mason said he has been asking the village's agent for the water removal for information over the past three weeks.
"From my perspective … our agent should have been able to provide the information to anyone in the public that's asking what the drawdown on the reservoir could be on a regular basis, on a daily basis, and what the overall environmental impact could potentially be over a period of time, with what they were attempting to take out," Mason said. "I think it was approximately 48 million gallons, which is what it's going to take to frack the four wells that are currently out there on Toot Rd."
Mason added it took some persistent pushing to get the information from Kokosing.
After sharing his personal concerns, Mason produced a list of 90 people, some within Cadiz and all within Harrison County, who are also concerned about the withdrawal. The list contained comments about fishing and recreation, among others.
"It is a vital resource as far as the community of Cadiz is concerned," Mason said. "I think it's incumbent upon us, as storers of that resource, to do everything we can to maintain it, either for the recreational aspect of fishermen or individuals on kayaks, or even possibly, as noted in our resource data, as a possible resource for back-up water supply."
Mason believes with planning, the village can use oil and gas operators to dredge and improve the lake, making it an even better resource.
"My concern is the oxygenation of the lake. Currently, we're in July, as that lake gets down into that funnel and as we draw water off, the possibility of fish kill if that lake turns over, the stench is going to be not only my problem but it's going to be every person's problem in this community," he said.
Mason went on to say that a thorough study should be conducted to determine the possible long-term effects of taking so much water from the reservoir, which is visibly depleted by three to four feet.
Kokosing is nearly done drawing water for the Toot Road wells, and no action is likely to be taken regarding the current contract with that company.
According to Water Superintendent Tom Carter, 51.88 million gallons are left in the reservoir. It is expected that Kokosing will be withdrawing another five million gallons.
Councilman Jim Drexler asked about regeneration data, and was informed by Carter that there is information on ODNR's website. However, Carter questioned the accuracy of the data.
"They're telling us that it will regenerate 300,000 gallons a day on an average daily flow. I personally think that's a little high," Carter explained. "I will make the statement that in 1999, when we were using it as a public water source, we were 50 inches below overflow level, which is lower than what we are at right now…the lake's been lower than it is now."
Council agreed that before another agreement to sell water is made, the future effects should be examined more thoroughly.
Solicitor Costa Mastros informed council that there is an option to suspend water sales, with a 48-hour notice.

SAGINAW, MI – Jason Hartmann, a Rockford High School graduate who was the top American finisher at the Boston Marathon two consecutive years, will join Saginaw Valley State University as an assistant distance and cross country coach.
He will begin his duties next week. He is in the process of moving from his home in Denver.
"It was a terrific opportunity and I felt it was the right time to transition into a job in my chosen profession," he said. "This is what I want to do."
Hartman, 33, finished fourth overall and was the top American finisher in 2012 and 2013 at the Boston Marathon. He was 53rd last year. His best marathon time is 2 hours, 11 minutes, 6 seconds in Chicago in 2010.
The low finish this past year at Boston had no bearing on his decision, he said.
"I had been looking for jobs since the spring so that didn't matter," he said, adding he will continue to run, but not at the elite level.
Hartmann also coached at Niwot High School in Colorado, leading the team to its first regional championship title for the girls in 2011. During his three years, both boys and girls cross country 5k records were broken three times and bested each year.
Hartman was a six-time All American at the University of Oregon, and qualified for the U.S. Olympic trials four times and in the 10,000 and marathon.
Hartman is a 1999 graduate from Rockford High School where he was a teammate of elite distance runner Dathan Ritzenhein, who just moved back to Rockford from Portland, Ore. Ritzenhein will be an assistant distance and cross country coach at Grand Valley State, a fellow GLIAC team.
"So we will be going head to head," Hartmann said with a chuckle about facing his longtime friend. "I won't share all the details of our training and I'm sure he won't either."
Hartmann was a three-time All American at Rockford where he secured state titles in the 800, 1600, and 3,200 meters and was the Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year Honoree in 1998.

Wastewater plants in Bay City, Essexville and Saginaw have reported numbers from sewage overflows last week to the Saginaw River.
The Bay City plant discharged 35.4 million gallons of partially treated sewage and stormwater. More than 3.3 million gallons were discharged from the Essexville plant, reports state.
Both discharges occurred from April 3-5. Bay City personnel said the area received 1.5 inches of rain on April 3.
The Saginaw Wastewater Treatment Plant reported totals from an overflow on Friday, and logged another overflow from Monday.
The Friday overflow totaled about 124 million gallons, reports state. The total from the Monday discharge was not immediately available.
Combined sewer overflows undergo disinfection and settling of solids before a discharge. But higher levels of bacteria that can make people sick and nutrients that can spur algal growth in Saginaw Bay still remain without full treatment, officials said at a meeting this week.
Testing from the Essexville plant showed downstream E. coli bacteria levels of 2,419 colonies on April 3, or more than eight times the amount that can result in a public health advisory.
The Bay County Health Department lifted an earlier advisory for the river on Tuesday, citing water samples that meet state standards for recreational activities like swimming and skiing.

Administrative Technician
Office of the Vice President for Business & Finance
Verda managed the logistics of the Varner Hall renovation, and did a masterful job. It is important to recognize that this entire year-long project was accomplished with the staff still on duty in the building. People had to be relocated in some nook or cranny - usually crowded in with the people from another department - while their area was being worked on.
Verda saw to it that people came through this process with a positive attitude - she even convinced most of them it was fun. Of course there were frantic phone calls from people who couldn't find their computer or didn't have a chair, but Verda kept frustrations to a minimum with her cheerful voice and her "can do" attitude.
This was a long, exhausting process that included a couple million detailed decisions. But Verda just kept on working, cheering others, and exhibiting great leadership in every situation. Having finished this job, Verda went right on to negotiate a new custodial contract for Varner Hall - at a $2,500 per year savings.

BAY CITY, MI — A 31-year-old T.L. Handy Middle School teacher prosecutors say repeatedly had sex with one of her underage students is due in court for a hearing this week.
Sarah M. Raymo is scheduled to appear for a preliminary examination before Bay County Chief District Judge Timothy J. Kelly at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29. At the hearing, the prosecution is tasked with convincing the judge there is probable cause to believe a crime was committed and that Raymo perpetrated it.
If Kelly ends up believing the prosecution achieved this task, he will bind Raymo's case over to Bay County Circuit Court for trial.
Raymo has the right to have the hearing within 14 days of her arraignment. Her attorney, Matthew L. Reyes, said he expects the hearing to proceed as scheduled.
Kelly arraigned Raymo on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct on Wednesday, Jan. 15. The charge involves penetration and is punishable by up to life imprisonment.
Bay City police began investigating Raymo on Monday, Jan. 13, when school officials contacted them, stating that allegations had been made that Raymo was having sex with a student. The male student subsequently told a forensic interviewer that he had sex with Raymo on multiple occasions from 2012 through 2013, when he ranged in age from 13 to 15. The sex occurred at Raymo's Essexville home and at the school, the student alleges, according to court records.
Police arrested Raymo at her home on Tuesday, Jan. 14. As of Tuesday, Jan. 28, Raymo remains in the Bay County Jail on a $250,000 cash-surety bond.
Under Michigan law, the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16, but it is increased to 18 if the participants are a student and a teacher, substitute teacher or administrator of the school attended by the student.

Approximately 50 cheerleading squads from local schools, as well as various elite teams ranging in age from PeeWee to college are expected to compete in the Seventh Annual Cheer For A Cure Championship set for Feb. 19 at Genoa High School.
The competition is held each year in February to memorialize the late Stella Bertz, widely known in the community as an enthusiastic Genoa Comet supporter and district cheerleading coach. She succumbed to cancer in February 2003.
Since its inception in 2005, the Cheer For A Cure has grown into a national, community-based organization comprised of a grassroots network of cheerleaders, coaches, and supporting fans.
Funds raised benefit Genoa students – a cause close to Stella's heart, and support the American Cancer Society's mission to prevent cancer, save lives and increase quality of life through funding research, education, advocacy, and service.
In the past six years, the Stella Bertz Memorial Cheerleading Association has been able to donate more than $58,000 to the ACS.
Doors will open at 7 a.m. for this year's competition. The day's events will also include 50/50 cash drawings, sales of cheer apparel, and a variety of concessions.
To make a contribution, obtain more information or to enter a team, call Maria Maluchnik at 419-855-2282 or visit www.CheerForACure.org.
