The holiday season is upon us, and 'tis the season to review your homeowners insurance policy. You've probably received some nice gifts from family and friends, and it's important to be sure that your new and valuable items—such as jewelry, furs, antiques, fine arts, and other special collections—are properly insured.
While your homeowners insurance may cover certain risks, it may be time to shop for insurance that will cover your more valuable items.
Don't count on your homeowners insurance policy
Your homeowners policy may have limited built-in coverage to cover your valuables against specific perils, usually on a lump sum basis and with a per item limit.
There are limitations to this coverage: It's usually not all-risk (which covers you in situations such as mysterious disappearances or accidental loss of an item), and it's usually not worldwide coverage. In addition, the coverage is generally not based on the replacement cost of the item and is subject to your deductible.
Policy provisions are different in each state and with each insurance company, so contact your agent for more detailed information.
How to choose an insurance policy that covers your valuables
If the limited coverage on your homeowners policy does not offer enough protection for you, consider purchasing a personal articles floater policy (PAF). This policy will allow you to schedule each valuable item and offer a specific limit to that item. The coverage will be worldwide and all-risk. It won't be subject to any deductible, and it can provide replacement, repair, or cash-out options.
Take the following five steps when insuring your valuables:
1. Provide your agent with an appraisal from the store or dealer that sold you the item. This document will highlight the specific details of the item and will certify its value. The insurance company will use this value to calculate the amount of coverage and the premium you will pay to have this item insured.
2. Be sure that your PAF policy will reimburse you for the stated amount. This will ensure that if you file a claim, you will receive the entire scheduled limit listed on your policy without any negotiations. Without this added benefit, the insurance company can pay you less than the limit listed on your policy if it finds a retail store that has this item or a similar one for less.
3. Check with your agent about automatic coverage increases. Some PAF policies offer automatic coverage increases on every renewal to keep up with rising costs. These automatic increases mean you don't need to get items re-appraised every year and you don't need to worry about whether you have adequate protection.
4. Remember that your insurance may not kick in right away. For higher priced valuables—typically items valued at more than $25,000— your insurance company may need a few days to bind this coverage as the underwriting process may be more detailed and challenging.
5. If having an item appraised is impossible, ask your agent if you can add a blanket valuable items rider. This is a quick way to get some added coverage for your valuables. You will have all-risk, worldwide coverage with no deductible, but you may have a per item limit.
There will be a blanket limit for each class of item (such as jewelry, furs, and fine arts), and no specific item will be scheduled. If an item is lost, you will have to provide documentation that shows what you paid for the item and where you purchased it so that the insurance company can negotiate a value. You also may be required to provide a photograph of the item.
What to do once your PAF policy is in place
You should carefully review your PAF policy at least every three years, as the value of your items may have changed. For example, the value of gold usually increases over time, so you may want to get your jewelry re-appraised and have the limits adjusted on your policy. On the other hand, the value of a fur coat tends to decrease based on the marketplace and economy, so a re-appraisal can prevent you from over-insuring items like this.
While reviewing your PAF policy, you may also find that you've given certain items away to friends or family, so these items need to be deleted from your policy.
As always, contact your insurance representative to be sure your valuables have the coverage you need.

Louisiana vegetable growers only grow a minimum amount of onions. The onions are grown from sets purchased from nurseries specializing in growing onion transplants. The plants are transplanted into the field in December and January. The majority of the Louisiana onions are grown on plastic mulch with drip irrigation. Just a few of the onions are grown on bare ground. The onions are harvested and sold in farmers' markets and roadside stands. Onions provide a cash crop during April and May, when few other items are available to sell. They also can be sold out of storage for June and July along with other spring vegetables.
Louisiana growers like onion varieties that are early-maturing, large in size (Colossal -- 3¾"+ -- and Jumbo -- 3 to 3¾"), flat (Granex) to globe in shape (Grano), do not bolt, make few double bulbs, taste mild and store well.
Twelve onion varieties were planted in replicated plots at the Burden Research Center, Baton Rouge, La., in January 2008. Plants were obtained from Bland Farms, Glennville, Ga., Dixondale Farms, Carrizo Springs, Texas, and Dietrich Gembler, Knippa, Texas. Six varieties were only grown in observation plots because of insufficient numbers of plants to include in the replicated plots.
The plants were spaced 6 inches apart on a bare ground row with two drills per row. The plants from Gembler and Bland Farms were planted first on January 17, 2008, with the plants from Dixondale planted later on January 24, 2008. The different time of delivery and the condition of the field prevented all the plants from being planted at the same time.
Weed control is one of the bigger problems for growers of onions. This is because of the development of both winter and summer weeds during the production of the crop. The herbicide Goal (1½ pts/acre) was used as an after-transplanting treatment to control winter weeds. The plots were cultivated several times to control weeds. Prowl (1½ pts/acre) was applied as a layby treatment to the middle of the rows on March 20, 2008, to control summer annuals. The plots were quickly hoed by hand several times to catch the weeds, mostly pepper grass that escaped the herbicides.
The onions were evaluated in the field on May 8, 2008, for maturity, yield, bulb size, shape, degree of bolting, degree of doubles and taste.
The onions were lifted when more than half of the different onion varieties showed signs of maturity (40-50% of the tops have fallen over) on May 9, 2008. The lifter blade passes under the row of onions to break the attachment of roots from the soil. This speeds up the drying process. The use of the lifter blade also loosens the plants from the soil to make harvesting easier. The lifted onions were allowed to dry in the field for 3 days before harvesting.
The plots were harvest on May 13, 2008. Hugh Paul Funguy, Harriett Green and Arthur Lirette drove from Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes to help with the onion harvest. Without these experienced volunteers, the plot would never have been harvested.
The onions were pulled from the row and trimmed with pruning shears. The roots were trimmed close to the bulb, while the tops of the plants were cut an inch or so above the bulbs. The bulbs were separated into different size grades at the time of harvest and were dumped into large burlap bags and allowed to dry overnight in the field. The sacks of onions were picked up and brought to a barn the next day. Heaters and shop fans were used to warm and circulate the air to encourage drying and curing. The onions were weighed and sacked in mesh bags on May 23, 2008, after 10 days in the barn.
Samples of each variety were placed in mesh bags and stored at 700F. The conditions of the bulbs were evaluated on August 11, 2008, 80 days after harvest.
The yields of 12 varieties of onions appear in Table 1. The top-yielding onion varieties in the test were White Granex, Yellow Granex, Texas 1015, Candy, Superstar and Century.
White Granex is a short-day white onion from Gembler and had very good yields of jumbo and medium-size onions. It is early in maturity and globe shaped with very few onions bolting in the test. It had a mildly pungent taste and stored in good condition.
Yellow Granex, a short-day yellow onion from Dixondale, was second with very good yields of jumbo and medium-size onions. It is mid-season in maturity and flat in shape, with little bolting and a mildly pungent taste. It stored in a good condition. Yellow Granex is one of the more popular onions varieties with Louisiana growers.
Texas 1015 (Dixondale) is a yellow short-day onion with an early mid-season maturity. It had very good yields of both jumbo and medium-size onions. It is globed in shape, with only a few bolted plants in the plot. It had a pungent taste and came out of storage in only fair condition.
Candy (Dixondale) is a yellow intermediate-day globe-shaped onion that had very good yields of jumbo-size onions. It is late in maturing and had very few bolted plants and a mild taste. It came out of storage in poor condition. Candy is a popular variety with Louisiana growers.
Superstar is a white intermediate-day, late-maturing onion from Dixondale. It had very good yields of both jumbo and medium-size onions. It is globed in shape with few bolted plants and a mildly pungent taste. It stored in a good condition.
Century, an early mid-season, yellow, short-day onion from Bland Farms had very good yields of both jumbo and medium-size onions. It is flat in shape, had bolted plants in the plot and a mild taste. It came out of storage in very poor condition.
Two of the varieties, Cebolla and Georgia Boy, stood out in the observation test. Cebolla is an early-maturing, yellow, globe-shape onion that had good yields of medium- and jumbo-size onions. It had only a few bolted plants with no double bulbs. It had a mild taste and came out of storage in good condition.
Georgia Boy is an early-maturing, yellow, globe-to-flat-shape onion. It had no bolted plants and no double bulbs. It had a mild taste and came out of storage in good condition.
Growers are encouraged to make small planting of these varieties of onions to see how they perform under the conditions of their farms.

Portland's Liv Warfield will compete with Aloe Blacc, Jennifer Hudson and T.I., Jhene Aiko, Wale and Sam Dew at the BET Awards this weekend.
Alongside those big names, Warfield's "Why Do You Lie" video is up for the ceremony's Centric category, a nomination for "grown, sexy and soulful artists that stay true to their musical roots."
"It comes from a very personal place," Warfield previously told the Oregonian of the song. I wrote it a long time ago, but when I got all those components of being around (Prince) and learning how to really write it and arrange it, I was like, yes, finally, this song is ready for the world to hear."
The Prince collaborator did Portland proud in January when she brought the song to "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," and sophomore album "The Unexpected" has been an R&B treat this year.
The BET Awards, hosted by Chris Rock, air Sunday at 8 p.m.

Students from across the north flocked to Edinburgh last weekend for the annual Burns Supper.
The event, organised by Edinburgh JSoc, began with a Friday night Tu B'Shvat Seder, which saw participants enjoy the experience of trying a range of dried fruits and nuts before moving on to a more traditional Shabbat dinner.
The highlight of the weekend was the formal supper, marking the 251st birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns.
The meal included kosher haggis and neeps and tatties (swede and potato those south of the border). Entertainment came from a Céilidh band.
Reuben Sagar, president of Aberdeen JSoc, said the supper demonstrated "another strong event in the region and it was fantastic to see so much positivity from the student community".
Edinburgh JSoc president Danny Pinchassoff said the weekend had provided a "great opportunity to meet people from all over the UK".
The event was supported by UJS, University Jewish Chaplaincy, the Jewish Youth Fund and UJIA, with students attending from almost all JSocs in the north and Scotland.

They had a Sommers tribander at the local club before I became a member. From what I understand, all the element halves on one side of the boom were cleaned off in a big El Nino wind storm back in the mid-90's. I don't mean to knock the antenna too much though. It was installed on top of a narrow 400' high ridge line that is surrounded on 3 sides by nearby hills and mountains. The winds up there are very irregular (lots of vortices and shear) and have been clocked well in excess of 100 mph during storms like this. 73 de Mike, W4EF......... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julio" <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 1:03 PM Subject: [TowerTalk] Sommer Antennas > > Has anyone had any experience with the Sommer line of antennas?

The minimum deposit is £1 and the maximum deposit is the total ISA cash allowance, currently £5,340. Interest is calculated daily and is paid on the anniversary of the first deposit or monthly for monthly accounts.Saga, on behalf of its savings customers is also calling on the government to change the ISA rules to allow people to save the entire ISA allowance in cash, rather than just half of it. This would particularly help older people who rely on income from their savings and who have seen their savings and pension income slashed due to monetary policy over the last few years.
Roger Ramsden, Chief Executive, Saga Services, commented: "We are pleased to be able to add this ISA to our current range, for those who prefer to have access to their money quickly. As always with Saga, people can choose to have the interest paid monthly, we know this is valued by our customers who like to live off the interest from their savings."

Sacramento Youth Symphony
Rating: 5 stars 4 4 reviews 944
3443 Ramona Ave. Ste 22 Sacramento CA 95826 USA
The mission of the Sacramento Youth Symphony is to educate and advance the musical skills of the youth of our communities in ways that engage, challenge, and inspire them to reach their highest potential.
The mission of the Sacramento Youth Symphony is to educate and advance the musical skills of the youth of our communities in ways that engage, challenge, and inspire them to reach their highest potential.
Over 1400 youth in Sacramento have discovered the rich and valuable opportunities available through engagement with music just this year. Over our 56 year history, thousands of Sacramento's young musicians have been members of our orchestras and ensembles.
The Sacramento Youth Symphony & Academy of Music programs build bridges between music and academic subjects, integrate orchestra ethics with appropriate social behavior and help students build self-discipline, self-expression and self-belief with skills that will help them throughout their lives. Involvement in our programs fosters in our young musicians a sense of teamwork, confidence, showmanship, dedication, commitment and giving of themselves. As students become a citizen of the orchestra they transform into citizens of our community. Weekly Programs: The Sacramento Youth Symphony offers talented and passionate young musicians an opportunity to participate in three full orchestras, two string orchestras, and a symphonic band. (Premier, Academic, Classic, Symphonic, Vivace, Prelude) Entrance into all of our large ensembles is gained by "blind" auditions; musicians audition behind a screen and are placed solely on their skill and playing ability. All musicians must re-audition every season. Afterschool Programs for Underserved: Overture is a free after school program. No prior music experience is required and instruments are provided at no charge. The only requirements for the students are: a commitment to attend regularly; a practice schedule; and care for the instrument. Parents are required to sign a contract that they will ensure their children practice at home during the week. Outreach: Each orchestra and ensemble performs concerts as part of our traditional concert series and outreach concerts in the community, particularly to schools lacking music programs. The SYS, through Any Given Child Sacramento, reaches over 1000 elementary students in the region through outreach concerts. Concerto Competitions: Each season the SYS holds an Annual Concerto Competition, with the winners being offered an opportunity to shine as soloists at the Premier and Academic Concerto Concerts. The competition is open to all orchestra members. Chamber Music Workshops: Summer Chamber Music Workshop is an intensive program introducing young musicians to chamber music. Taught by professional musicians, participants receive individualized coaching and conclude their programs with concerts.

Sacramento Youth Symphony is dedicated to Educating and advancing the musical skills of youth within the community. Their program effectively bridges music and academic subjects and orchestra ethics and appropriate social behavior. We are honored to support this terrific organization through our Cars 4 Causes Vehicle Donation Program. Their dedication to music education is inspiring!
My Daughter has played with the Sacramento Youth Symphony (SYS) for the last two years as a member of the Vivace Strings Ensemble under the tutelage of conductor Greg Brucker. My daughter as grown musically more than I could have imagined over those two years. I am so thankful that an organization of this caliber exists in our community. I am proud to be a member of the SYS Board of Directors and can think of no better organization to entrust the musical growth of my daughter.

We have attended a number of youth symphony (YS) concerts and are impressed with the breadth of their repertoire and the quality of their playing. The YS conductor particularly stands out for his energy, enthusiasm, creativity and love for the young people he is serving. I can think of no better or no more positive channel for youth than this great orchestra.

I was a member of the Sacramento Youth Symphony's Premier Orchestra for four years. Over the course of my tenure with the Orchestra, my life was enriched in so many ways that enumerating them all would be impossible. I cultivated my musical ability by performing a professional repertoire with magnificent young musicians; I broadened my cultural outlook by touring in Austria and the Czech Republic; I helped my community by providing live orchestral music—an engaging cultural medium which can, and should, be preserved—to the public; and I built friendships with incredible people along the way. Michael Neumann, the Artistic Director of SYS and the conductor of the Premier Orchestra, has poured his soul into this organization, and it shows: his musical artistry, and his parallel love of humankind, filled every rehearsal and every performance. SYS is doing incredible work, enriching the lives of young people in the Sacramento region and beyond, and I hope they continue to do so far into the future.—Maxwell J. Collard

DENVER -- John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.
Two senior campaign officials disclosed Mccain's decision a few hours before the Republican presidential nominee-to-be and his newly-minted running mate appeared at a rally in swing-state Ohio.
Palin is a self-styled hockey mom and political reformer who has been governor of her state less than two years.
Palin's selection shocked numerous Republican officials.
In making his pick, McCain passed over several more prominent prospects who had figured in speculation for months -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge among them.
At 44, Palin is a generation younger that Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, who is Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic ticket.
She is three years Obama's junior, as well -- and McCain has made much in recent weeks of Obama's relative lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matters.
Palin flew overnight to an airport in Ohio near Dayton, and even as she awaited her formal introduction, some aides said they had believed she was at home in Alaska.

LANCASTER - Hempfield got some payback on Saturday.
And in the process, the Black Knights' girls' volleyball team won its second state championship in the last three years and fourth overall.
Hempfield topped Parkland 3-1 in a rematch of the 2011 title match on Saturday at Central York High School.
The Knights won by game scores of 25-21, 18-25, 25-16 and 25-23.
Parkland brought a 24-0 record into the match and suffered its first non-tournament loss since 2009.
Hempfield also finished 24-1 - and headed back to Landisville with the gold trophy.
L-L League sports fan Charley Lowe sent along 20-plus photos from Hempfield's win, including some great celebration shots.
Take a look in this slideshow.

Board ponders grant projects
Tiffin City Council members discussed possible projects to be paid for with Community Development Block Grant discretionary funds at the Economic Development and Downtown Planning Committee meeting Wednesday.
Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp. Director of Development Karen Bowers said the city is guaranteed the formula allocation grant of $75,000, regardless of competitive applications.
The two set-aside programs the city can apply for are the neighborhood revitalization program and the critical infrastructure program. The neighborhood revitalization program requires high-impact projects with three activities that would upgrade a neighborhood, while the critical infrastructure program is for a failed or a failing system, such as bridges or sewers, Bowers said.
Due to the existing application for a downtown revitalization grant for the Laird Arcade Building improvements, the city will not be able to apply for that program, Bowers said.
She said she is hopeful the city will receive funding for the Laird Arcade Building.
The city is to decide on the projects by mid-May. Applications are due at the end of June.
Within the neighborhood revitalization program, Councilman Tyler Shuff said improvements to Little Hedges Park would be beneficial.
For the three individual projects, the committee suggested lighting and fencing to improve safety, along with a walking path to tie into the proposed trail.
Mayor Aaron Montz said investment in the park could improve the neighborhood in regards to ownership, which could lead to involvement such as community clean-ups similar to one at Oakley Park over the weekend.
The neighborhood could also take more responsibility for monitoring vandalism, Montz said.
For the critical infrastructure program, City Engineer Mario Livojevic suggested improvements to several bridges on St. Francis Avenue.
He said the main tributary of Gibson Run crosses at Earl Street. Currently, the bridge is too narrow to accommodate a sidewalk on both sides of the street, so there is a crosswalk to the other side.
On the western end near South Washington Street, a smaller branch of the creek crosses under the road and that bridge needs maintenance.
Livojevic said work on the area is necessary within the next five years because it is a high traffic area and it continues to be a safety issue.
A pedestrian bridge could be constructed or a pipe culvert could be placed to create a sidewalk with a rail, Livojevic said.
Councilman Jim Roberts suggested demolition of the house in front of the American Legion on South Washington Street.
The house is vacant, and the American Legion would like it demolished but does not have the funds.
Roberts said the American Legion would donate the area for a green space into the downtown.
Bowers is to look into whether the house is within the historic district and whether it can be razed.
The committee is to hold a public hearing regarding grant funding for the Salvation Army building at 3 p.m. April 30 at City Hall.
They also are to discuss the finalized list of projects proposed for CDBG funding to bring to city council.
Montz also requested that the committee consider asking Law Director Brent Howard to prepare legislation urging the Seneca County Board of Commissioners to keep the board of elections downtown.
As it is a heavily used location, Montz said moving the board out of downtown would be a detriment to the economy and growth of downtown.
He said last year Roberts spoke to commissioners about not moving the board.
Montz said he understood the issues faced by the board of elections and said the board should consider another downtown building.
"To move that (agency) out of downtown Tiffin is a foolish decision and it does not help the future development of downtown Tiffin," Montz said.
He said he intends to address council with the request at the next council meeting.
The committee agreed to take the recommendation to Howard.

(Releads, updates and rewrites throughout)
Eight bodies, six of them naked and "with signs of torture," were found by municipal police officers on Thursday in Ecatepec a city in Mexico state, prosecutors said.
"Around 2:00 a.m. local time, the discovery of the bodies of two males was reported in the streets of the San Andres de la Cañada neighborhood," the Mexico state Attorney General's Office said.
The victims have not been identified, the AG's office said.
Six more bodies were found at 6:30 a.m. between Petroleos Mexicanos avenue and John F. Kennedy street in the Obrera Jajalpa district.
"The investigating officers confirmed that five bodies were those of males and one was a female between the ages of 18 and 23," the AG's office said in a statement.
Two of the men had ropes around their necks and all of them had "tattoos on different parts of their bodies," Ecatepec city officials said.
Investigators presume that the killings are linked to organized crime because of the way the victims were murdered, but no messages were left with the bodies, city officials said.
"Both incidents are being investigated by the homicide prosecutor's office, which immediately assigned personnel to conduct the corresponding investigation," the Mexico state Attorney General's Office said.
Ecatepec has 1.9 million residents and is one of largest cities in Mexico state, which surrounds the Federal District and forms part of the Mexico City metropolitan area. EFE

SPRINGFIELD - An adult man and a juvenile were in custody Monday night in connection with an armed assault at White and Orange streets in the city's Forest Park neighborhood that left an unidentified man with a stab wound to the back, police said.
The arrests were made moments after the 8:30 p.m. incident as officers responding to the scene saw several suspects running away, said Lt. John Bobianski. Witnesses said the victim was jumped by five or six people.
The victim was in stable condition at Baystate Medical Center, he said. His name was not released. Bobianski said the victim is a man in his early 20s.
The names of the two suspects who were arrested were not available, Bobianski said.
One of the suspects is under age 17 and his name cannot be released to the press. The adult suspect's name cannot be released because he has not yet been processed through booking, he said.
Each will be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, armed assault and attempted murder, he said.

Emmitsburg, Md. (April 17, 2010)--Mount St. Mary's jumped to a 4-0 lead and held on for a 5-4 victory over Manhattan in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matchup at Waldron Family Stadium on campus. Freshman Andrew Scalley (Arnold, Md./Archbishop Spalding) had two goals and an assist in the win for the Mountaineers.
The Mount (7-3, 4-0 MAAC) opened the scoring when junior Mark Stapor (Herndon, Va./Bishop O'Connell) beat Manhattan goalkeeper Jon Fiorillo with a bounce shot 2:37 into the game. Scalley added an unassisted goal with 7:21 left in the first quarter to give the Mount a 2-0 advantage.
Scalley's second goal of the game just 14 seconds into the second quarter pushed the Mount's lead to 3-0 before sophomore Bryant Schmidt (Great Mills, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) scored with just under 10 minutes left in the half for a 4-0 Mount lead.
The Jaspers (4-7, 2-2 MAAC) scored twice in the final 1:06 of the half to close the margin to 4-2. Sal Spatarella's score with 1:06 left put Manhattan on the scoreboard. With 16 seconds left in the half, Jordan Sherman collected a loose ball at midfield and sent the ball toward the Mount net while on his back. The ball found James Synowiez wide-open in front of the cage, and he buried the shot to make the score 4-2 at the half.
The Mount grabbed a 5-2 lead when Scalley found Schmidt open streaking toward the cage on a change. Schmidt buried the shot for his second goal of the contest. Manhattan's Kelly Mahon responded just 13 seconds later to make it 5-3. Spatarella's extra-man goal with 5:13 left in the third made it a 5-4 contest.
The Mount, however, held on from there to preserve the win. Goalkeeper T.C. DiBartolo (Bowie, Md./Archbishop Spalding) made a game-saving stop in the final minute to give the Mount the win. Manhattan's Sal Perrotto found Justin Jensen wide-open at the top of the crease, but Jensen's point-blank shot was denied by DiBartolo with 49 seconds remaining.
Mount St. Mary's held a 31-to-27 advantage in shots and a 25-to-16 margin in ground balls. The Mount's Ben Trapp (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) won 10-of-13 face-offs while collecting a game-high nine ground balls. DiBartolo made 10 saves in the win while Fiorillo had nine saves for Manhattan.
The Jaspers held the Mount's Cody Lehrer, who entered the game leading the nation in goals per game, off the scoreboard.
Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Wednesday, April 21, with a 7:00 p.m. game at Saint Joseph's.

Combo Crew Review
The Game Bakers' Squids series were an excellent take on the tactical RPG genre and showed how the mobile platform can put an interesting twist on genres we are familiar with. We had the opportunity to speak with them at PAX East 2013 about their new game Combo Crew and it looked like they were bringing their creative spin to the beat'em up genre. Combo Crew is all about building the highest combo possible and climbing Boss Tower.
Knowing well that the plot of a beat'em up is not the focus, The Game Bakers have instead focused on what actually matters, the combat. You can pick from two fighters to start, Parker and Gina, and you can unlock Dolph and Sammo with collected controllers, earned from receiving gold medals in King of the Tower or beating challenges in Combo Crew Mode. Those controllers are also how you unlock more combos for you fighters.
Combo Crew (iOS[Reviewed], Android)
Developer: The Game Bakers
Publisher: The Game Bakers
Released: May 23, 2013
While it is usually a concern for fighting games, each of the fighters do have their own distinctive feel while still playing roughly the same, though that comes more from the fact that your inputs will remain the same regardless. The different moves each character have can change the way you approach situations, giving you adequate reason to switch. The touch based controls are simplified enough to work well, yet at times they are almost too simple.
Every level in Combo Crew is roughly the same, even if the visuals change. You are in a room the size of the screen, you tap enemies to target them, swipe them to attack, swipe and hold to charge and swipe with two fingers to unleash a combo. Keeping with the current trends, if an enemy goes to attack you, an exclamation point will appear above their head and you can tap the screen to counter. You can have four combos equipped at once, activating each by doing the two finger swipe from one side of the screen.
For the most part, the controls in Combo Crew work excellently. While being restricted to four combos can be a hindrance at times, after every level you can go into the menus and switch them out and at a certain point it is more about assuring that you have a combo with a juggle, a stun, a launch and a guard break, which combos you choose are up to you. There is no breaking from a combo once you start, so it's all about managing the time between attacks.
Unfortunately, especially if you are trying to complete a challenge, targeting enemies can be a bit of a pain. I had moments where my two finger swipe would target a different enemy instead of just launching the attack. Frustrating, but not enough so to keep me from coming back. For the levels in King of the Tower, which is the loose campaign, the enemy variety is fine, but if you keep going back to Combo Crew Mode, which is a gauntlet, the variety can be a bit lacking.
At the moment, Combo Crew seems to be an excellent game. The Game Bakers have promised more content down the line, which can alleviate some of the issues. What will make or break the game is adoption. Combo Crew Mode is fun enough, but when you get knocked out your friends can play the level to revive you, but if your friends aren't playing one of the biggest features is eliminated. That being said, I had such a good time playing playing Combo Crew that I can see this taking off.

Winner named: Updated Dancing with the Stars results here
After Monday night's Paso Doble dance-off and the high-spirited freestyle dance rounds, the judges scores put Marini and Johnson in a tie with 58 points, but Rycroft is not far behind with 56. The fate of the competition, however, rests in the hands of the voting public.
Read the Star-Ledger's live blog of Tuesday's final performances
Our prediction: Johnson offered a strong performance Monday, but Marini has been the most consistent performer throughout the season and will take home the Mirrorball. At times during his dances, it's been tough to determine whether he or his partner Cheryl Burke was the professional.

With No. 1 Alabama looming on the horizon, a large number of them met Sunday for a players' only meeting, senior linebacker Herman Lathers said.
The team's leaders, a group that certainly includes Lathers, did not mince words.
"We got together and pulled some of the guys together and we said, 'Look, if you don't want to play, go down to the scout team because we're tired of losing here and things are going to change and things are going to change this week,'" Lathers said. "Guys that weren't doing it right, we're going to kick them off the field."
The display of unity comes during a time in which negativity and uncertainty is swirling among the team's fans. You simply can't go very far in this town without hearing someone discuss Derek Dooley's future as Tennessee's head coach.
On Sunday, a group of students covered "The Rock" on UT's campus with the message "Fire Fooley." Sports talk radio shows were buzzing about the topic from sunrise to sunset. For a segment on this evening's news, one local TV station went as far as to film radio hosts as they took calls from angry fans.
The subject came up plenty during today's media availability, but the message was largely uniform from the players after Sunday's meeting.
"All that matters what's in this circle right here," left tackle Antonio Richardson said. "We have each other's backs, we have coach Dooley's back."

Nintendo have today announced a new development tool called LiveMove.
LiveMove is a new development tool that will allow game developers to program motion-sensing controls far easier - According to Nintendo in a "matter of minutes."
This will allow for far easier development for 3rd party developers to really utilize the Wiimote capabilities which some have feared in the past could be a problem.In essence, the development framework helps the Wiimote "learn" movement patterns in an effort "to move away from indirect digital control to more natural analog control."
LiveMove is currently available to Wii developers at a cost of $2,500 per seat.

Cubs Could Be Better Than Many People Think
It's been quite awhile since people have whole heartedly believed in the Cubs.
But let's face it. They haven't had a reason to believe for the past several years. With the Cubs having failed to even make the postseason since 2008, not having made a World Series appearance since 1945, and currently holding a 107-year World Championship drought, the Cubs' fan base has been nothing but disappointed for a long time.
The Cubs, however, have finally put together what could prove to be a formidable team that fans could actually get behind. In fact, many Cubs fans are getting so behind this year's roster that they have visions of a World Series title to round out the coming season. While I like their optimism, and wouldn't be too stunned if it happened, I don't think it will necessarily occur in 2015. I think it will be 2016 at the earliest before the World Series becomes a possibility.
But that doesn't mean I don't think the Cubs will have an amazing team this year. Although a lot of people are saying that the Cubs are extremely overhyped and stand little chance of doing much of anything this season, I actually believe in the club they have.
First off, their new manager, Joe Maddon, has proven to be one of the best in baseball — not necessarily for his winning records but for his ability to get the most out of each and every one of his players. His addition to the club house will have an immeasurable impact on the Cubs in my mind.
As far as the players themselves are concerned, it's a talented group of characters the Cubs are going to be putting on the field throughout the season.
The one weakness a lot of people foresee, however, is their pitching staff, consisting of guys like Travis Wood, Tsuyoshi Wada and Kyle Hendricks. While those players aren't the worst pitchers in baseball, they aren't Cy Young candidates either. But the Cubs do in fact have a Cy Young caliber pitcher they snatched up this offseason, set to lead the staff every fifth day. Jon Lester, who came over to the Cubs on a 155 million dollar contract, is sure to instantly make the Cubs pitching staff relevant (with their bullpen being decent enough).
Beyond that, the Cubs' lineup is fairly good as well. Admittedly, it consists of a lot of young, unproven talent, but it's a good group, nonetheless. Having Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo and newly added catcher, Miguel Montero, slotted in the Cubs' lineup is sure to lead to runs being scored. But it's the youth of the Cubs that could ultimately lead to a lot of wins in 2015.
With Jorge Soler, Tommy La Stella, Arismendy Alcantara and Javier Baez looking to have breakout seasons — along with uber prospect Kris Bryant, who should be called up shortly into the year — the Cubs' team is going to be one to reckon with.
However, it's that very youth and inexperience in a great number of the players that has a lot of people remaining cautious from hopping aboard the Cubs' bandwagon. After getting their hopes up in the past only to see things come crashing down, many people from around the baseball world refuse to believe that the Cubs stand a chance at making much ground in a division that includes the Cardinals, Reds, Pirates and Brewers.
But it's not stopping me from predicting the Cubs to have success in 2015.
Maybe the 2015 Cubs aren't the team that will break the "Curse of the Billy Goat". Maybe they aren't even the team that will dominate their division for the better part of the season. But I feel that the Cubs are in fact the team that will surprise the most people this season as they make a run toward the second wild card spot in the National League.
6/22/14 Tennessee Smokies Vs. Chattanooga Lookouts
When the plan to visit the Tennessee Smokies (Double-A affiliate of the Cubs) was originally being put into place back in early April, I was really looking forward to seeing what was sure to be an extremely talented team. With names such as Kris Bryant, Pierce Johnson, Jorge Soler, C.J. Edwards, and many other top prospects and above average players, I just knew that this game was going to be an exciting one.
That was, however, until everything went wrong.
Pierce Johnson, Jorge Soler, and C.J. Edwards all hit the disable list earlier in the year, keeping them from being at the game, and my optimism that Kris Bryant would still be a part of the team after blasting over 20 home runs in the first half of the season fell just short, as he was called up to Triple-A mere days before my arrival. And thus, Bryant joined the long list of great players who I wouldn't have a chance of getting an autograph from.
But despite all the bad luck, my dad, grandpa and I made our way out to Kodak, Tennessee yesterday afternoon to take in the early two p.m. game against the Chattanooga Lookouts (Dodgers' Double-A affiliate, which also didn't have too many good players). After a quick stop for lunch, we made our way over to the Smokies' ballpark, bought tickets, and headed inside the stadium:
All I could think about upon first glance of the field was that Kris Bryant had been playing on that very surface not all that long ago (a number of great players have played there in recent years, including Starlin Castro, Javier Baez, Chris Archer, etc.) but I tried not to dwell on it for too long. To help get my mind off of Bryant's absence, I swung by the gift shop for a few minutes, where I browsed the wide variety of items before heading down to field level (in the extremely hot sun) with the hopes of snagging a few autographs:
As I stated earlier, the Smokies aren't all that fantastic of a team at the moment, with so many star players hurt, but I still wanted an auto from Dustin Geiger, Christian Villanueva, Corey Black, and former big league pitcher, Storm Davis. While I was successful in getting Geiger to sign my ticket, I didn't snag an auto from Villanueva, and never actually spotted Davis or Black.
But regardless of the subpar pregame autographing, the game itself was much more exciting. Though not ranked very highly, the one player that really stood out to me was the Lookouts' Darnell Sweeney:
Sweeney isn't ever going to hit for much power according to a lot of people, but he was impressive on the day, picking up a couple of hits, making some great defensive plays, and showing off his speed (he stole nearly 50 bases last season). And therefore, Sweeney is a player I'll be keeping an eye on.
As far as the game goes, heading into the day, both starting pitchers had an ERA above six for the season, which would lead you to believe it was likely going to be a high scoring game. But things started out rather slowly, with neither team scoring through five innings played, and the most entertaining moment being the traditional chicken run that takes place every home game:
(Everyone loves a good chicken run.)
However, as the temperature began to heat up, reaching a high of 91 degrees, the game quickly heated up as well. With two out and a man on in the sixth, Christian Villanueva blasted a home run out onto the outfield grass berm, putting the Smokies up 2-0. Then, in the very next inning, Dustin Geiger copied Villanueva with a two-run dinger of his own . . . . :
. . . . moving the score up to 4-0, which is where things would end.
Upon the final out, I went back down around the dugout to try once more for an autograph, but my main target — the only other key player I had seen before the game — ,Villanueva, bolted down the dugout tunnel. Thankfully, although I never saw him prior to the first pitch, Corey Black popped out of the dugout and began to sign autos for the many people who wanted him. I was the last one he signed for, and was able to leave the game with two autographs.
Though two autographs isn't very many, the time spent out at the game more than made up for it. Any time I can combine baseball, traveling and time spent with family, it's sure to be a fantastic time all around.
Top Ten Contracts I'd Give to Young Stars
With Clayton Kershaw recently receiving a 7-year, 215 million dollar deal from the Dodgers, I thought I'd go over the top young players Kershaw's age (26 at the start of the season) or younger without extended contracts, with at least 100 games played or 100 innings pitched, that I feel would be worth a large deal (not necessarily of Kershaw's magnitude).
Keep in mind, the players on my list might never get contracts of this amount, or they could be offered larger ones — depending on what their respective team can afford. I'm not trying to project what the future holds for each player money wise, I'm just giving my take on what I feel they're worth, and over what period of time. Also, the players are in order of total dollar amount, not necessarily their talent level, as some positions are simply worth more money than others.
With all that said, here is my top ten list:
1.) Mike Trout — 22 years old: Contract of 10 years, 310 million dollars
There's no doubt in my mind that Mike Trout is eventually going to receive a massive contract. After winning the 2012 American League Rookie of the Year award and going on to have an even better 2013 season, Trout is worth every dollar. At just 22 years old, Trout is the only player on my list that I'd give a 10 year contract to, with my contract coming out to 31 million a year, which would make him the highest paid player in MLB history. But he's just going to get better and better.
2.) Giancarlo Stanton — 24 years old: Contract of 6 years, 130 million dollars
If Giancarlo Stanton had been completely healthy over the last couple of seasons, he'd probably be receiving more money in my contract. But citing the health issues, especially last season, I decided to give him just under 22 million a year. When healthy, he is a 30-40 home run player, and is just as deserving of a huge contract as Mike Trout.
3.) Freddie Freeman — 24 years old: Contract of 6 years, 100 million dollars
Many had Freddie Freeman in the running for the 2013 National League Most Valuable Player award, but while he didn't win (Andrew McCutchen ended up taking home the honor) that doesn't take anything away from the season Freeman had. At just 23 years old, Freeman recorded his first 100 RBI season last year, and should continue to be that type of player moving forward. Therefore, I'd lock him up until age 30, providing him with just under 17 million a season.
4.) Jose Fernandez — 21 years old: Contract of 5 years, 100 million dollars
If Jose Fernandez can perform all next season the way he did in 2013, he will be worth even more than this. Fernandez blew away the opposition last season, going 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA, and winning the National League Rookie of the Year award — even placing third in Cy Young award voting. At just 21 years old, Fernandez is going to be very good for a very long time, but I played it safe, for now, giving him 20 million a season (yes, I know that's a ton for a player of his age) for the next five years. After that, sky's the limit.
5.) Manny Machado — 21 years old: Contract of 6 years, 85 million dollars
Manny Machado could end up being worthy of the second largest contract of the players on my list, as he is capable of turning into a complete, superstar player a few years down the road, but for now he sits at number five. That's no knock to him, however. He's just 21 years old, and has already shown flashes of being one of the top two or three players in all of baseball. But if I had to offer him a contract tomorrow, I'd give him roughly 14 million a year until he turns 27.
6.) Stephen Strasburg — 25 years old: Contract of 5 years, 80 million dollars
Though he's had a few good seasons (after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2010) Stephen Strasburg hasn't yet broken out as that super dominant pitcher many feel he can be, going 8-9 with a 3.00 ERA in 2013. Therefore, I have him at number six on my list, with a contract of 16 million a year until he turns 30. But a few good seasons could easily move him way up.
7.) Craig Kimbrel — 25 years old: Contract of 5 years, 75 million dollars
There is, arguably, no one better at closing out games at the moment (now that Mariano Rivera has retired) than Craig Kimbrel. Posting 40 or more saves each of the past three years, Kimbrel has overpowering stuff, and should continue to dominate as the Braves' closer for years to come. I don't normally like relief pitchers getting big contracts, but Kimbrel is the exception, with me giving him a contract worth 15 million a year.
8.) Bryce Harper — 21 years old: Contract of 5 years, 70 million dollars
This was difficult for me, putting Bryce Harper all the way down at number eight. He's been hyped since the age of sixteen, and it hasn't slowed since Harper reached the majors in 2012. But he's just a bit "out of control" for me to place him any higher; at least for now. If he can get everything together, he has the potential to be a true five-tool player, and earn a mega-contract. From what I've seen so far, however, I'd give him five years to figure things out, giving him 14 million a season.
9.) Addison Reed — 25 years old: Contract of 5 years, 65 million dollars
Addison Reed — recently traded to the Diamondbacks from the White Sox — is one of the most dominant and reliable closers in all of baseball. Though he is somewhat of a question mark in terms of earned runs allowed per outing, Reed has very dominant stuff, and recorded 40 saves last season. He should remain a feared ninth inning man for years to come, earning him 13 million until he turns 30, in my book.
10.) Matt Harvey — 25 years old: Contract T.B.D.
The fact that Matt Harvey missed the last few games of 2013 and will miss the entire 2014 season, due to Tommy John surgery, and yet still makes my top ten speaks volumes for the type of player he is. Getting the start for the 2013 All-Star game, Harvey had a magnificent year, going 9-5 with a 2.27 ERA, and really put his name on the map. Once healthy, he should get a hefty contract. (It's hard to say for sure how much he's worth, which is why I left that to be determined down the road.)

School may be on break for the summer, but that doesn't mean kids should automatically put away the books. The Alpena County Library staff believes quite the opposite is true.
Just as it has in years past, the library is encouraging youngsters to keep reading and to have plenty of fun in the process with its annual Summer Book Club. The club kicks off next week and is wrapped around a theme of "Dream Big Read."

Alpena County Library staff members Linda LaCross, left, and Mary Clute put the finishing paint touches on a "dream" bed they are creating as a centerpiece for this year's Summer Book Club. As children's librarian, Clute has been busy planning crafts and special activities for the book club that begins June 19.
"We've got a great selection of activities coming up that I think kids will have a great deal of fun with," said Library Director Eric Magness-Eubank. "Summer Book Club is one of the most important things we do at the library."
Reading over the summer, he said, goes a long way toward ensuring that reading skills learned during the school year don't regress.
"Reading research shows pretty convincingly that if kids don't read over the summer, they can fall back as much as one full grade level," Magness-Eubank said. "It doesn't take that much reading to keep up with their skills, and if they take part in the Summer Book Club, they can actually improve their reading skills."
The official kick-off day is June 19 and includes a $1 hot dog lunch served on site from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., rain or shine. The club is open to children ages 3-12 years, although anyone older who wants to join is also welcome.
Over the course of a month, participants read and report on at least 15 books. Reports can take a variety of forms: written, oral or even art projects such as a bookmark or picture.
By reading 15 books, youngsters will get a full packet of tickets to the library's Summer Carnival planned for July 18 at the Alpena County Fairgrounds. This also includes free popcorn and drink, plus the chance at a number of drawings that include two bicycles. Only book club members are eligible for the drawings. If they do not complete 15 books, they will still receive a portion of the tickets.
In anticipation of the start of the club, Children's Librarian Mary Clute, along with other staff members and volunteers, has been busy putting together materials and planning special events related to the "Dream Big Read" theme. She estimates 1,500 craft kits have been prepared just for week-one of the club.
"We have lots of things planned this year," Clute said. "The reason we do all of this is to keep kids reading all summer, and of course, the big payoff is the carnival at the end. Hopefully when they go back to school in the fall they will have maintained their reading level or made it better."
Clute said among the fun activities planned are a pajama party that will include a craft, a story and a yoga session on how to relax after having a bad dream. Registration is required for the event.
Dream-related crafts will be plentiful and feature a dream journal, dream catcher, shooting star, sit upons, lightening bugs and more.
Puppeteer Nancy Penvose and magician Gordon Russ, popular with young participants during summers past, will be returning for special programs.
A two-hour event at the Bsser Museum also is planned in conjunction with the club. Children are invited to the museum from 10 a.m.-noon July 5 to enjoy a planetarium show, crafts and treats revolving around the chosen theme.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Clute at 356-6188.

ROBBINSVILLE – Mike Markulec's character perhaps best shone through the moment after he signed the bout sheet that said he had just defeated Allentown's Tom O'Shaughnessy by technical fall in the Mercer County Championships Saturday night.
"Can we do this fast, because I have to go drill with Mark," said Markulec, shunning an interview with the press to help out a teammate.
Markulec hustled over to a warm-up mat and began going through the usual paces with 126-pound teammate Mark Gerstacker, who, like Markulec and five other Hopewell Valley wrestlers, had reached the championship round of the MCC.
The junior Markulec scored two takedowns and turned O'Shaughnessy to his back five times for a total of 14 near fall points en route to a 18-1 tech fall in 3:31 to secure the championship at 220 pounds, his second straight at the MCC.
"The bottom line for me is that we've won three county titles since I've been on the team," said Markulec. "That's been the big thing all along."
Hopewell Valley, behind champions Markulec and 160-pounder Eric Barbera and five other finalists, rolled to its fifth team championship in the past six years, out-distancing second place Steinert, 238.5-172.
"We kind of set the tone on Friday," said Hopewell Valley coach Mario Harpel, in regarding to his 14 wrestlers winning 53 of a possible 56 bouts in the first two rounds of the tournament. "It's a lot of great kids working real hard."
Steinert had a tournament-high four champions and Allentown, with no champions between its two finalists, was a close third in the team standings with 170.5 points. Nottingham was a distant fourth with 139.5 points.
Lawrenceville's Matt Apuzzi (20-1), the third seed at 195 pounds, won the Most Outstanding Wrestler award after decking top-seeded Frank Juba of Allentown in the final.
"I lost in the final at 182 last year," Apuzzi said. "That really motivated me. I feel a lot better right now than I did last year."
Apuzzi hit a shrug to take Juba down and quickly snapped in a near-side cradle for a fall in 1:54.
The championship round offered dominating performances, upsets and even a couple head-scratchers.
Michael Jennings of Lawrence rolled to the title at 138 pounds as he used a pair of takedowns and 11 near fall points in a 15-0 tech fall in 3:42 over Dean Clarke of Hopewell Valley.
Maaziah Bethea (145) of Trenton Central scored 12 points in the first period against Dylan Carpe of Peddie, twice turning his opponent for three near fall points.
Bethea then registered three takedowns in the second before closing the 21-4 tech fall in 3:14 with three more near fall points.
Joey DeCristofaro (27-0) of Hightstown stormed through the tournament with two pins in 50 seconds and 1:00 and a 9-1 decision over Hopewell Valley's Evan Carlton in the final at 182 pounds.
DeCristofaro scored three takedowns and a reversal before putting the major decision away with a far-side cradle.
Hightstown's Kevin Medina had an eventful run to the championship at 120 pounds. Medina (22-5), the No. 3 seed, was trailing second-seeded Patrick McLaughlin of Lawrenceville 14-0 in their semifinal bout when he ended it suddenly with a fall in 4:20. Medina edged Mujahid Ewell of Ewing, 6-4, in the final.
Barbera (160) and Tyler Beers (126) of Steinert avenged earlier season losses to their final round opponent to lock down a championship.
The second-seeded Barbera, who had dropped a 7-6 decision, last Tuesday, to Robbinsville's top-seeded David Steward, avenged that loss in wild fashion.
Steward took Barbera down with about 18 seconds remaining in the bout to take a 4-3 lead.
Barbera, however, was able to hit a reversal a moment before the final buzzer to prevail, 5-4.
Beers was even more impressive in his timely turnaround. He had fallen to Gerstacker, 7-5 on Dec. 20, a light year's time in high school wrestling terms. Beers took Gerstacker down in the first period; hit a reversal in the second and a takedown in the third on his way to a 7-1 decision.
Etai Yonah's 16-9 decision over Nottingham's Josh Magee wasn't all that strange in that Yonah had defeated Magee by tech fall, 24-8, on Jan. 12; rather it was how the match unfolded that was weird.
Finally, Yonah revealed the wrestler Magee encountered on Jan. 12, closing the bout with five takedowns in the third period.
Steinert's other winners were freshman Brandon Cray at 106 pounds, senior Anthony Kubish at 152 and Matt McDonald at 170. Hopewell's other silver medalists were senior Gun Hee Lee at 152, senior Jeremy Hunt at 170 and Evan Carlton at 182.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- As the Portland Timbers worked on set pieces and shooting under a clear Arizona sky Friday morning, the Seattle Sounders ran through drills just one field over.
The two teams will face each other for the first time Saturday night since the Timbers ousted their rivals from the MLS Cup playoffs at Jeld-Wen Field last November.
It may be only a preseason game, but the Timbers can't help but have a little extra energy when they're facing Seattle.
"It's always a derby game," Timbers midfielder Will Johnson said. "Wherever we play them. We could be in a park with nobody watching and it would turn into a very competitive match."
Timbers coach Caleb Porter plans to start and play his top lineup for the first 60 minutes against Seattle, before replacing them with a second group. The match will give him a chance to get a long look at his best lineup for the first time in what he expects will be a fierce game.
"It's going to be a good test," Porter said. "Seattle is a good team. It's our third game in and we want to continue to make steps and get better and show well. Especially, when you're playing Seattle, you want to show well."
Porter has watched his team improve and develop in just one week in Arizona. Against Sporting Kansas City last Saturday, the Timbers' offense was lacking and they struggled to get shots off against a tough Kansas City defense. But against Houston on Wednesday, the offense came together and the Timbers were able to score two goals in a 2-0 win over the Dynamo.
And Porter hopes to see his team make more strides and come together as a unit on the field Saturday. At practice Friday, the Timbers coach pitted his first lineup against his second lineup in a half-field scrimmage, pausing the game every so often to work on set pieces and finishing.
"I think in preparing for the game, the focus was more on set pieces and keeping the ball," Timbers midfielder Diego Chara said.
Seattle is the last MLS opponent that the Timbers will face while in Arizona – their final game in Tucson will be against NASL team Indy Eleven.
And, for the players fighting for a spot in the starting lineup, or even a spot on the Timbers' roster, Saturday's game will be an important chance to show Porter that they're worthy of a position.
"This year our second group looks a lot like a first group," Porter said. "In the end, I think we have 22 guys, maybe more, that are worthy starters. A couple of positions are still up for grabs, for sure, and as we get guys healthy there will be some tough decisions to make."
Despite their success in 2013, the Timbers feel that they have an even deeper and stronger roster this season. And, even in a preseason game, they want to show their rivals just how tough they'll be to beat this year.
"This is a group with a real sense of belief that we can accomplish great things," Timbers forward Steve Zakuani said. "I think that we're prepared to put the work in because we really believe that we'll be rewarded at the end of the year."
