HOLLYWOOD, California - This week is big for Huntsville's Paul McDonald and the other Top 10 "American Idol" hopefuls.
Tonight, McDonald and the other contestants are singing songs from the Motown collection, and after America votes, one will leave the show Thursday. Being in the Top 10 is a nice distinction, plus it qualifies those 10 for this summer's scheduled "American Idol" tour.
The show's website reported on March 1 there would be a tour this summer. There will also be "The 'American Idols' Live! Tour" section at americanidol.com that will include an interactive tour map where you can relive past tours, check out each season's Top 10, the cities they played and the tour photos. Plus, you can share your stories from the previous nine seasons of the tour.
Last year, the "American Idol" summer tour didn't do so well, canceling and rescheduling some of the original show dates.
So, it remains to be seen just when, if and how many dates might be included on this year's summer tour. But it's highly likely that if McDonald makes the top 10, the tour could come to Birmingham for a show. It did so when Taylor Hicks won the title.

In 'St. Anna,' Lee Fumbles Epic of War, Racism
Striving for Sweep, Director Insists on Heavy Ironies
Spike Lee's "Miracle at St. Anna" is being marketed as a murder mystery involving a priceless Italian artifact, as well as a fictional, inspirational parable about a love that transcends language, race and the chaos of war. Yet the real subject is the unsung heroism of black American soldiers during World War II. Given the importance of that subject, the real mystery of Mr. Lee's movie is why it's so diffuse, dispirited, emotionally distanced and dramatically inert.
The most obvious clue lies in the punishing running time -- more than 160 minutes, plus an end-title crawl. The screenplay was adapted by James McBride from his own novel, and he and his director must have wanted to mine every page in their pursuit of epic sweep.
The main story, set in Tuscany in 1944 during the Italian campaign, centers on four infantrymen of the all-black 92nd Division Buffalo Soldiers. After one soldier risks his life to save a traumatized Italian boy, all of them become trapped behind enemy lines, where their immediate salvation depends on partisans and villagers of indeterminate loyalties. (And where the narrative slows to a crawl for tedious, mostly subtitled digressions on the intricacies of partisan politics. All that's missing is a ghostly turn by Anna Magnani or Raf Vallone.)
"Miracle at St. Anna" contains plenty of material for a couple of other films -- a terrible massacre of Tuscan civilians by Nazi troops, and the ostensibly mystical but eventually mawkish relationship between the little boy and his G.I. savior, Sam Train, a saintly giant of a man played by Omar Benson Miller. What's more, those events of the now-distant past are set off by a plot-heavy framing device that starts with a postal clerk committing a seemingly inexplicable murder in Harlem in the early 1980s, and ends in the Bahamas with a toxic dose of ersatz uplift.
The surfeit of elements and themes can't explain the indifferent craftsmanship. Spike Lee has made some brilliant films in the course of his prolific career; he also directed an intricate and terrific commercial thriller, "Inside Man," that was released only last year. Yet his storytelling this time is fragmented to the point of incoherence. The score, by Terence Blanchard, is relentlessly elegiac. The battle scenes are long on explosion and short on invention. The performances are stolid and unexceptional, apart from Mr. Miller's few touching moments and a stylish cameo by Alexandra Maria Lara as the Nazi propagandist Axis Sally.
If the lapses are disappointing, the sense of missed opportunity is dismaying. In most of the Hollywood war movies made during and long after World War II, American fighting men were almost always white. The role that black troops actually played is an important story, and might have been a powerful one in Spike Lee's hands. Indeed, a sense of that power can still be gleaned from the DVD version of Rachid Bouchareb's "Days of Glory," a magnificent French-language film that played here two years ago, and told essentially the same story with different skin shades -- four Algerian soldiers in the French army fighting bravely against the Nazis for the nation they love while their fellow French soldiers treat them like scum, and their casually despicable racist officers use them as cannon fodder.
But the Bouchareb film allowed the awful ironies of the situation to speak for themselves, while Spike Lee keeps hammering them home with agitprop fervor and clumsy actors playing racist officers as crude cartoons. The irony of the production as a whole is that an impassioned filmmaker with a strong tale to tell has managed to lose track of it. Instead of staying close to the troops and their travails, the film wanders through wartime Tuscany like an addled tourist, mesmerized by village life and eager for miracles.
'Nights in Rodanthe'
"Nights in Rodanthe" is nothing if not timely -- a movie with a hurricane sequence opening in the hurricane season. It's also timely in the sense that it opens, like scores of other movies in recent years, with an alarm clock going off. Among its additional attractions are an elusive band of wild horses that shows up for a symbolic gallop on a beach, and a bathroom scene that eschews toilet humor -- the joke turns on bad plumbing in the sink. Yet this sodden romance, which was directed by George C. Wolfe in his feature debut, is less than the sum of its parts, which were problematic to begin with.
Its only distinction, as well as its primary source of dashed hopes, is the casting of Richard Gere and Diane Lane, reunited at last after playing husband and wife six years ago in "Unfaithful," a quite remarkable romance that promised prosaic formula but delivered genuine passion. In this one they play strangers -- she is Adrienne, an unhappily married mom, and he is Paul, a surgeon struggling with a tragedy -- who become lovers at an otherwise empty hotel on North Carolina's Outer Banks. I'm sorry if you think I'm giving away a big plot point, but what else would they become with no one else around and a whole movie to fill?
The sad truth about "Nights in Rodanthe" is that it never does get filled, even though the running time is only 97 minutes, and some of those minutes are taken up by the hurricane, which sounds like the D-Day invasion. (Another chunk of time, when Adrienne and Paul are still lovers-to-be, is devoted to them playing kitchen basketball by tossing canned goods in a garbage can.) The movie's twin problems, at least until the denouement, are predictability and underpopulation. It's basically a two-character play, and though the director is celebrated for his groundbreaking work in live theater, he hasn't saved his stars from the camera's pitiless gaze. Richard Gere suffers less than Diane Lane. He gets by with a mixture of skill and self-irony. She acts up a storm in every scene, but you root for the hurricane.
Nonfiction filmmaking doesn't get any better than Spike Lee's feature-length documentary '4 Little Girls' (1997). The children of the title died in the 1963 bombing of an African-American church in Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Lee's anguishingly beautiful film honors their lives through interviews with friends and family, as well as the segregationist governor George C. Wallace, and archival footage of such pillars of Southern racism as Birmingham's commissioner of public safety, Eugene "Bull" Connor. The film should be required seeing for anyone who wants to understand the roots of America's civil rights movement.

Wildcats spark special season?
Closing their preseason with a huge win, the Mount Si boys could be sparking a promising soccer season.
The Wildcat varsity team took down state favorite Eastlake, 1-0, Wednesday, March 18, at home. The victory was their first of the season.
Eric Baumgardner scored the game's lone goal. Mount Si's defense and goalkeeper Cody Tipton took care of the rest, as the 'Cats handled highly-ranked 4A Eastlake in a win that coach Darren Brown described as one of his biggest ever as Mount Si's coach.
"I'm so proud of these guys, I don't really have any words for it," Brown said. "[It's] probably one of the my best top five victories of all time on this surface."
Baumgardner's goal was scored in the fourth minute, off a feed from Doug Silvius.
"I took it and I split a defender and just finished it," Baumgardner said.
Mount Si's defense and goalkeeper Tipton handled the rest, but it wasn't easy, as Tipton had to make a couple of big saves in the second half to close the deal.
"Everyone wants to win. They go to practice and work their butts off, and tonight it showed," Tipston said.
"We were preparing for these guys because we knew it was going to be tough," he added.
The Wildcats are learning fast, Brown said.
"They're understanding our system of play, they're understanding their roles and they're fitting in to them," he said.
"There's a lot of excitement going around the school right now, and the community," Brown added. "They know something's brewing here with this group and this is going to be big."
The Wildcats tuned up for Wednesday's game with a road game on Monday, March 16, at Lake Washington. The Kangaroos won 2-1.
Kyle Bauman scored the lone goal for Mount Si, who missed tying the game after referees waved off a would-be goal by Silvius.
Mount Si hosts Bellevue, Friday, March 27. Game time is 7:30.

A 1942 graduate of Jamestown High School, Bob attained the rank of Eagle Scout in 1941. Bob's father, Edmond Sr., his father, was the first Eagle Scout in Jamestown, earning it in 1915. His three brothers, son and two grandsons are also Eagle Scouts, along with nine other family members making for 17 Eagle Scouts in the Holroyd family.
Bob enjoyed both traveling and photography. He was very active at both Messiah Lutheran Church and Lutheran Church of the Incarnate Word serving on various committees including finance, building and organ committees.
Bob spent more than 60 years tracing his family tree, taking trips to England and Sweden to find his roots. He was an active member of the Rochester Genealogy Society Inc. and Kodak Genealogy Club. Bob was also an early member of the Rochester Theater Organ Society, as he enjoyed listening to and attending theater organ music concerts.
Bob attended Wooster College in Ohio, prior to serving our country. While attending Wooster, he was called into the Army and served in the 45th Division during World War II. Bob received the Purple Heart for wounds he endured at the battle of Anzio, Italy. After being honorably discharged from the army, Bob attended Rochester Institute of Technology, where he earned a certificate in color photography. After graduating from RIT, Bob attended the Progressive School of Photography in New Haven, Conn. studying camera repair.

Bob attended night school while his children were young, and graduated in 1962, with a Bachelor of Science degree in general studies from the University of Rochester. In Bob's retirement, he spent many years as a docent at the George Eastman House, as well as "Sir Holly," the clown with Grease Paint Alley Clowns. He also enjoyed bus tours with his wife and friends.
Friends and family are invited to call Tuesday, Dec. 18, from 4-7 p.m., at VaySchleich & Meeson Funeral Home, 1075 Long Pond Road, Greece Chapel.

Interment with military honors will be held immediately following at White Haven Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer's Association, Rochester and Finger Lakes Region, 435 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY 14620.
The family would also urge you to contact your local congressman and senator to ask them to quickly increase the research funding into finding the cure for Alzheimer's. This terrible disease has taken Bob and millions others.
The family would like to thank the loving and caring staff at the New York State Veterans Home at Batavia, who provided excellent care for him during the past six years.

There are indications that this stand is being broadly supported with natives across Canada and the US expressing concern and support.
Look at this video report from APTV.
Here are updates and background from other news reporting agencies starting with the CBC. Attawapiskat chief's hunger strike part of wider movement.
There is a history of difficulties between her Band and the Federal Government as shown in this letter sent to all MP's
NDP MP Charlie Angus said: "This hunger strike is not about the situation in Attawapiskat per se, but the frustration that is really palpable in communities across this country. Here is a video report.
As Canadians we cannot afford to ignore the conditions faced by natives across the county. It is our duty and obligation to step up to bridge the gap of privilege and opportunity too often out of reach for many First Nations citizens.

What is in this article?:
- Cotton boosts Oklahoma corn and wheat rotation
- Fewer acres planted
- Double crop wheat after cotton
- Cotton is not as tall as it once was in Oklahoma.
- There's still profit in those bolls.
- Cotton is great rotation with grains.
More About:
A LOADED COTTON STALK pleases Monty Kahle and his son Eric as they check crop prospects on the northern Oklahoma farm. Cotton is an important rotation crop with wheat and corn for the Kahle operation.
Double crop wheat after cotton
The Kahles have seen good results in hard red winter wheat planted extremely late. "For three years, we have planted wheat just after Thanksgiving in acres where cotton was just harvested," Kahle says. "With help from good rains in the early spring this year, our wheat yielded from 48 to 54 bushels. It averaged about 5 to 10 bushels above our wheat-after-wheat yield."
He credits cotton with improvements in soil nutrients, cleaning out weeds and breaking up disease and insect population cycles and helping boost wheat yields. "Rotation is important for a crop production program," Kahle says. "And we know that prices will vary for all crops from year to year.
"If the Midwest sees a normal year for rainfall in 2013, corn prices will probably be down because planted acres are expected to be up. That should benefit cotton prices, because acres will probably be down again. So we see a good future in cotton in our northern region."

Cada hit a set of threes against Jeff Shulman when Shulman was holding pocket jacks to double up and then spiked a set of deuces on Antoine Saout when play was three-handed to take the chip lead.
"I got really lucky today. I was very fortunate," Cada said. "That's just the way it goes sometimes. If anybody ever hears me complaining about poker, they can just knock me out. It's really unfortunate what (Saout) had (pocket queens), but I got lucky and sucked out. That's poker."Cada will face 45-year-old Maryland logger Darvin Moon in heads-up play, which begins at 10 p.m. PT on Monday.
Cada entered the final table fifth in chips at 13.2 million. After eliminating Saout in third, Cada now has 135.95 million in chips, compared to 58.85 million for Moon.
Cada was down to 2.25 million in chips on the 123rd hand of the final table -- it took 276 hands to get down to two players -- when he moved all in holding J-4. He was called by Eric Buchman, who had 5-4.
Cada's hand held up and he started chipping up and climbing the leaderboard.
"It's always a chip and a chair. You've just got to play your stack accordingly," Cada said. "It all depends on how big your stack is and how many people are behind you. There's mathematical hands to push. Even if they've got a better hand, sometimes you get there.
"You can't give up."
After more than 14 and a half hours of play, it's already the longest final table in WSOP main event history. If Cada was tired, he wasn't showing it afterward.
"I'm ready to go. I'm ready to play heads up," Cada said.
Here's how the final table has ended up so far:
- 3. Antoine Saout -- $ 3,479,670
- 4. Eric Bucman -- $ 2,502,890
- 5. Jeff Shulman -- $ 1,953,452
- 6. Steve Begleiter -- $ 1,587,160
- 7. Phil Ivey -- $ 1,404,014
- 8. Kevin Schaffel -- $ 1,300,231
- 9. James Akenhead -- $ 1,263,602

Hello Everyone,
Hunter is my 14 week old son. He had been breastfeeding great up until last week. He is starting to fuss when I go to feed him. He was 7lbs 2oz when he was born and now weighs at least 14lbs 11oz. He had been feeding every 2 1/2 hours now I am lucky if he feeds every 4-5 hours and for only 10 mins. he also only tends to feed on one side. he has lots of wet diapers and 1 or 2 bowel movements every 3-4 days. he also sleeps 5-6 hours at night without waking. I am worried about not feeding him enough or my milk supply getting low. Any advice or reading material that would help comfort my worries would be much help!!!

It was quite accurate (when I used it) in my area.
Anyone else find the accuracy off the PGPSW mobile speed cams a bit suspect ?? out in a mates car earlier today who is running a tomtom with the very latest speed cam database and within our fairly large town it failed to detect even one off the usual seen most weeks over the course off several years mobile camera spots, the twice it did go off was at locations I can honestly say I have never personally seen a mobile camera situated, he has removed the pmobile cameras so these were so called confirmed mobile sitings ??!!
I think the long term fixed gatso camera, red light camera and specs cameras warnings are superb but have to say our short test earlier today certainly showed the mobile camera warnings certainly dont seems to be that accurate around this area anyway.
anyone else find this with mobile cameras within the PGPSW database ??
It was quite accurate (when I used it) in my area.

thanks for mobile cameras
As a verified spotter volunteer for the PGPSW database, they are as accurate as some of the others out there.
They all rely on the likes of me to keep them up to date with 'spots' and sometimes they can be wrong, but like anything technology related, they are only as good as the information given to them to make them work.

TRENTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce approved Gov. Chris Christie's request Friday for a declaration of a federal fishery resource disaster as a result of the damage done to the state's fishing industry by Hurricane Sandy.
The disaster declaration is the first step in a program that would provide relief for people and businesses that are tied to commercial fishing.
"We are taking action because of the storm's devastating impact on the people who live and work in coastal communities that were hit hard by Sandy," said Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank.
Christie made the request Tuesday in a letter written to Blank.
In his letter, Christie said the damage done by Sandy had led to a decreased and "markedly weakened" fishing industry in the state.
"New Jersey's fishing industry is not only a defining element of the Jersey Shore and a crucial tourism draw, but is also vital to the essential component of New Jersey's coastal economy," Christie said in his letter. "Such a declaration for New Jersey will assist in obtaining immediate disaster relief assistance for all negatively impacted and eligible fisherman, charter fishing operators, United States fish processors and owners of related fishery infrastructure affected by the disaster."
According to the Office of the Governor, New Jersey's commercial fishing industry supported approximately 8,500 jobs and $1.4 billion in sales in 2011.
Christie, having toured many of the storm-damaged fishing facilities, thanked Blank for making the declaration.
"I sincerely thank Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank for acting swiftly to respond to my request for help for New Jersey's fishing industries, which sustained serious losses during the storm," he said. "My administration will be working closely with federal officials in assessing the extent of the storm's economic impacts and in developing a response that will help the fishing industry in this time of great hardship."
New Jersey Congressman, Frank LoBiondo, offered similar praise for the quick response.
"As we continue to determine the full-scale of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, swift federal, state and local action can ensure a devastating situation isn't made worse through inaction," he said. "The impact from Sandy on South Jersey's fishing communities cannot be overstated, as infrastructure must be repaired and fisheries rebuilt. This federal disaster declaration is critically important to its recovery."

The seniors this year are set on making sure that doesn't happen for the second straight season.
"I sense a little bit of wanting to get back on top and we're willing to do whatever it takes," head coach Glenn Howard said. "We're not the top dog anymore and we're looking forward to trying to get back up there this year. On paper (it does look like a team capable of winning a sectional title). We gotta stay healthy. We don't have a lot of depth in certain areas.
"But we've been working hard and I like the efforts of the kids at camp. We just gotta play one game at a time and take each day as it is. Hopefully that can lead us into the playoffs and we'll go from there."
Offensive/defensive tackle Julian Davenport can speak for the entire senior class when saying that leaving the Red Raiders without a title is simply unacceptable."The whole senior class is hungry and we're ready to play," Davenport said. "We're working hard out here every day. Sometimes tempers fly and we're arguing with each other because guys aren't working as hard as they should. But that's good because we're getting on each other and making sure everyone knows we want to get that championship before we leave."
Quarterback Zack Funk said that the idea of experiencing what last year's seniors had to deal with is motivation to work harder for the elusive Group I title.
"It's a lot of motivation," he said. "We're just out here working hard. We normally don't go through (the program in four years) without winning anything, so we're going to go 100 percent every time we play."
Who's line is it?
Julian Davenport stands 6 feet, 8-1/4 inches tall and weighs 275 pounds. He plays tackle on both sides of the ball and protects quarterback Zack Funk's weak side. Davenport and fellow lineman Pop Little should be very helpful in keeping both the pass game and run game a success.
"I'm really comfortable, especially since Julian is on my blind side," Funk said. "I don't have to worry too much. And having Pop in the middle, he's really strong. I feel really safe in (the pocket)."
Macc attack
Mike Maccarone is entering his senior year, and after four years of working with kicking coach Dom Antonini as well as working in the weight room and attending camps, he's developed into one of the best placekickers in the state.
Said head coach Glenn Howard of Maccarone: "It's a great feeling knowing you have a great kicker and punter. That's so important especially in close games with a battle for field position. Most of his kickoffs go into the end zone and he's developed into a great punter. ... I can be comfortable with the PATs and not be holding my breath, and if we're in around the 30 or 35, you have a real good kicker who gives you the chance to get you three points, and that's great to have."
Julian Davenport said he's heard that Woodbury is favored to best the Raiders in the Colonial Conference Patriot Division. But either way, he's comfortable with his team being the favorite or the underdog. He and the Raiders are going to give it their all.
"I know there's a lot of schools out there and Woodbury is favored over us, but I love this team and I think we should be the favorite," he said. "But I like being the underdog. We just gotta come out and work hard every day and prove everybody wrong."Contact Chris Pawling at 856-686-3636 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Kayak fishing is booming across America, particularly along our seashores. Enthusiasts say there's nothing like being pulled around by a fish bigger than you.
But this angler may have gotten more than he bargained for.
The 22-year-old was fishing near Boynton Beach, Fla., when he saw an 11-foot hammerhead. Rather than beaching his boat and shaking off the willies like any sane person would do, he cast toward the massive fish and got the ride of his life. The giant shark pulled him 8 miles along the Florida coast.
I'm sure the ride out was substantially more fun than the long pedal back.

Excerpts from floor discussion of RTTT amendment proposalWith the state threatening to withhold $2.3 million in Race to the Top grant money, the Christina School Board has revamped its application.
The amended application asks for $750,000 that the superintendent says will go directly into district schools.
However, school board member George Evans says the district needs to maximize the amount of money it will have available to teach the kids.
"Why we can not come up with the appropriate plan that has the criteria of the federal government and that of the state to place these teachers where they are most needed is a shocker to me." says Evans.
The lone representative of Wilmington on the board, Evans was also the lone dissenting vote.
Board member John Young believes the incentive program is misguided.
"The plan that the state is proposing has absolutely zero research based evidence to suggest that giving $20,000 to teachers will lure, attract or retain them." Young says.
The battle between the Department of Education in Dover and the Christina board began over differences in how a teacher incentive program is to be administered.
Under the state's criteria $20 thousand will be used in each district school over the next two years to reward teachers rated "highly effective."
The district wants to devote a thousand dollars for teachers rated "effective."

As founders of a proposed West Easton charter school await approval from the Wilson Area School District, they are accepting pre-enrollment for the 2013-2014 school year.
Current eighth- and ninth-grade students are eligible to enroll in The Business and Entrepreneurship Academy Charter High School.
Developer Abraham Atiyeh is consulting with former Bethlehem Area Superintendent Joseph Lewis to open it at the former Reda Sports Complex. The West Easton Borough Council in October approved zoning changes to allow a school there.
A public hearing on the charter is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at the William P. Tollinger Administration Building, 2040 Washington Blvd.
Atiyeh is confident the Wilson school board will approve the charter.
"We have a great plan. ... It's going to educate students," he said. "This is a good thing for the community at large."
Students are already enrolling from the Wilson, Easton and Allentown areas, Atiyeh said. There are only a few from the Wilson Area School District, he said.
Students from anywhere in the state can enroll.Board President David Seiple said the board has had "very little discussion" on the proposed charter school so far. He said the hearing "will be our introduction meeting to the information."
Superintendent Doug Wagner previously said he was concerned about the effect the charter school would have on the school district. The more Wilson Area students the charter school draws, the more money the district loses as state subsidies follow the students.
district has 33 students -- 30 regular education and three special
education -- enrolled in various charter schools this year. It costs the district about $9,252 for each regular
education student and $19,171 for each special education student.
The board will have to decide in 45 to 75 days after the public hearing whether to approve the charter, Wagner said.
Lewis hopes the school will open in 2013 for ninth- and 10th- grade students. He eventually wants to expand enrollment to juniors and seniors.
Atiyeh would be the landlord for the school. The land is connected to where Atiyeh recently opened a treatment center for drunken-driving offenders.
Lewis and Atiyeh's attorney, Mickey Thompson, pitched the plan to borough council in August.

A former Southern Law Center employee who managed the law school's finances, kept more than $500,000 worth of undeposited and unmailed checks payable to various vendors in an office for months at a time, according to a state audit report. The report, released Monday, says the employee was in a key accounting position, and the Law Center did not have controls to recognize that deposits were not being made or that checks were not being mailed. The checks, however, were ultimately voided and reissued.
The legislative auditor has recommend that the law center strengthen its controls over its receipts and disbursements to prevent future occurrences.
Southern University's Internal Audit staff and the state's auditor office have launched an investigation.
The report also shows that the law center overstated federal revenues and related receivables by $1.5 million on its annual financial report for fiscal year 2012 because of some employees' recording transactions manually rather than using accounting software.
Overall, the law center's financial statements, as adjusted, have been fairly stated for fiscal year 2012. As state funding for higher education has decreased, the law center has been more dependent on tuition and fees, a trend other Louisiana colleges and universities have experienced.

We all suspect the Big East Conference is a tad anxious about the Syracuse situation, which has clearly tainted the league's image because of the team's futility. Who Daryl Gross hires to replace Greg Robinson as Syracuse's head coach is being watched closely in Providence (home of the Big East office), though Tranghese said this is not so much a critical situation for the Big East as it is for Syracuse.
"Everybody asks me," Tranghese said. "This is a big hire for Syracuse. It's not a big hire for me. Hires aren't made for us. It's a big hire for Syracuse. They've obviously struggled. I think they need to make a hire that can get them back into a highly competitive mode.
"Every time we have coaching vacancy, I tell our schools - you cannot make a mistake. If you do, you pay a huge price. You've just got to get it right."
Tranghese said he has spoken to Daryl Gross about the Syracuse situation but declined to share the conversation. The Big East may soon have another coaching opening on the horizon. Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly is emerging as a top candidate at Tennessee. Tranghese said the reason schools come after people like Kelly is obvious.
"We have good coaches," Tranghese said. "If they're good coaches, they're going to be targets. If they leave ... I don't subscribe to the theory that anybody's unavailable. If they leave, you hire somebody else that's good. If you're an athletics director, you have to have a short list of people you'd talk to in the event your coach leaves. You have to be prepared. It's the same in basketball. Anybody can leave, for a variety of reasons. It could be termination, another job, retirement, all those things."
Tranghese said that Syracuse "obviously has a leg up" in the process by announcing the dismissal of Robinson and moving into its "due diligence" with the next coach. He said there are some key pieces of the process that will be followed, particularly if the Orange is speaking to other schools about their coaches. At the end of the day, the school and coach still have to sit down and talk, and that discussion almost always takes place after the last game of the season.
"You've got to get permission," Tranghese said. "Some people try to circumvent that (and do). In the end, you have to get permission before you have that conversation. It's usually not until the season ends, though somebody may give you permission, I know.
"You still have to eventually talk to the person. I don't believe anybody it going to accept the job until they talk to the person."

Thanks to the nautical nebulousness of their former captain, some at the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority seem to think their short-term salvation lies on the land, not on the lake.
Today, board members are expected to approve the initial phases of a long-awaited plan to transform the port's 100-acre site into pedestrian-friendly park space, condos and offices. Opening up green lakeside space downtown would be a boon to the city, as Mayor Frank Jackson has told anyone willing to listen. But if there is one cautionary tale in the port's recent history of false starts and false promises, it is that board members need to think before they act. They also need a new port site -- and a way to pay for it.
They must assess this waterfront plan in light of the port's diminished resources and maritime mission.
They need to be wary of anything that would foreclose future options, especially since the port now has neither a permanent chief executive nor a maritime director.
That doesn't mean that Eric Johnson, the port's real estate director, should not be spearheading the ambitious plan favored by almost all stakeholders in the city. The city planning commission approved the first two phases earlier this month.
Johnson's advocacy takes into account maritime needs, envisioning an integrated strategy that combines an active port with a lively waterfront district. He is adamant that work on the first two phases on land north of Cleveland Browns Stadium could begin as early as 2012 without interfering with port operations.
That groundbreaking is contingent on acquiring $27 million. Johnson says he'll apply for grants. He and every other public official in Ohio.
Then there is the $158 million the port may need to pony up to pay the local share of a new confined disposal facility to store muck dredged from the Cuyahoga River. Will it have to sell some prime lakefront real estate to cover that cost?
A new CEO -- with a r sum buoyed by port experience -- must be in place to address those issues. And a maritime director, with real shipping experience, hired.
Such expertise, coupled with Johnson's vision, would enhance the chances of developing plans that result in the greening of the harbor and new work for its stevedores.

Do you ever wonder how other parents get their kids to eat their fruits and vegetables? They copy what they see around them. My parents raised my brother and I to always try what was on the table. We didn't have to like it but we had to try it. I will have to admit I didn't always like that my mom made me try things but as a parent I appreciate it even more. We don't cook different meals for our kids - they have to eat what we are cooking. Sometimes that means salmon, veggie pizza, and other random goodies! Does it always work? No, but they are more adventurous in their food choices because of it. My son grew up loving avocado when I had never even tried it. Now it's a staple food in our pantry and we all eat it. My daughter eats raw onions, peppers, and just about any food you put in front of her (including sushi and wasabi - no joke!). Just last night I made an asparagus pizza and there weren't any leftovers for lunch today. When I received an email from the ... [ Read More ]
Square One (Pumpkin) Mac-n-Cheese Recipe
A few weeks ago I shared a recipe that I spiked with Square One frozen organic baby food, Healthier for you Potato and Ham Soup. Wednesday nights at our house (OK - every night) is hectic with trying to figure out what's for dinner. Each Wednesday we attend a small life-group at our local church but it starts at dinner time. The adults do potluck style and eat together but we normally feed the kids before we come. Anyways - that leaves me finding something QUICK to fix the kids before we leave. If your pantry looks like mine I'm sure you have those 'emergency' boxes of mac-n-cheese for busy nights like tonight. I've really been trying harder this year to make an effort to make dinner more healthy for all of us but especially for the kids. Want to know how I made a box of mac-n-cheese healthier with baby food? My recipe for Vegged Up Mac-N-Cheese: 1. Take one box of your favorite mac-n-cheese (can be organic, whole wheat, Kraft, or store brand - whatever you purchase) ... [ Read More ]
Grocery Store Observation
I just returned from a trip to the local grocery store. I just had to pick up a few things and I made an observation while selecting my cherry tomatoes. Normally, I look at the organic veggies first to compare the price. If they are close I choose the organic. However, when I looked at the organic tomatoes I noticed they came from Mexico. When I got to the non-organic tomatoes...guess what? They were local!!! To me I would prefer to buy locally and luckily living in Florida the grocery stores stock the local fruits and veggies when they are in season. Not only could I have gotten fresh Florida strawberries but also the tomatoes! The grocery stores are getting smart; they advertise heavily on the local fruits and veggies now. So...EcoChic lesson of the day...read the labels, you never know what you might learn. ... [ Read More ]

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After looking and plumiging through all the options I fell in love with this design. After reading the review I decided against it and then later just decided to bite the bullet and trust my instincts! For me I don't have an inner bride gene and I absolutely gushed and ooooo and ahhhhh'd when I got my invitations in. wedding Paper Divas went above and beyond to help make my set special and customized. I went through 4 different drafts and each time they responded in a timely manner and amazing customer service! So completely happy!"
"We love the finished product. Custom colors were not listed for this product but WPD customized our color perfectly and made adjustments to spacing as requested. The shimmer paper we chose gave it that extra sparkle we were looking for."
"The color is very blue on the picture, but the actual card is much darker - almost black. In the end, we decided that we liked the dark blue, but it was a little misleading."
"Received this as a sample and it is beautiful. If you are looking for that kraft feel this is perfect. Lovely "love and happiness" logo in the top left corner. You and your fiancé's name are the second focal point after the logo. Lovely whimsical flower and leaf designs in the corners. Cute "forever" logo on the back of card. The paper is a little thin though. Feels a little flimsy. Do not like the "please initial entree choice for each guest" option on RSVP. This could get confusing for guests."
"We changed the font layout and colour so suit out wedding. The service was exceptionally quick and very professional as we had a very short amount of time. We ordered reviewed changed and received our invites within a week!!"

"I can't talk about that, given the sensitive nature of negotiations," Canter said.
Getting Craig Davis signed is the day's biggest coup. Davis has a chance to start opposite Vincent Jackson and will need a full camp's repetitions if he is to have a realistic chance at unseating incumbent Eric Parker.
"The thing that jumped out at me is he's got great hands," said Head Coach Norv Turner of Davis. "He has great run-after-the-catch ability."
Linebackers Anthony Waters and Brandon Siler will provide depth behind first-time starters Stephen Cooper and Matt Wilhelm. Waters and Siler are expected to contribute on special teams as well.
Adam Caplan of Scout.com is reporting that Siler signed a four-year deal with base salaries of $285,000, $370,000, $460,000 and $550,000. He also receives a signing bonus of approximately $43,000.
Supplemental pick Paul Oliver signed a four-year deal with base salaries identical to Siler's. Oliver receives a signing bonus of about $408,000. Signing supplemental picks can be tricky, as a team's rookie cap does not increase to accommodate supplemental selections.
Oliver will be competing for a role in San Diego's dime defense this season. However, the former University of Georgia standout defensive back should be able to compete for role in their nickel defense in 2008 since the club isn't expected to re-sign Drayton Florence.
Legedu Naanee also signed in time for camp, which will give Coach Turner another offensive toy to tinker with. Coach Turner used Mini Camps and offseason coaching sessions to design special packages for the versatile Naanee and plans on playing him at wide receiver and tight end in addition to his roles on special teams.
"My impact will be primarily as a receiver, but I think they want me to play in a lot of different spots just to create some good match-ups. When I play tight end they are using me mostly as a pass catcher," Naanee said.
Rookies are to report to training camp at Chargers Park on Tuesday, July 24. The full squad will report on Saturday, July 28.

A couple of observations and comments that express the way I look at things:
First, the Supreme Court will make a decision sometime within the next couple of months that will make the new Federal Health Care Act illegal, because you can't make it mandatory for everyone to buy this health insurance. If this is the case, we will have to eliminate all mandatory government programs, including Social Security, Medicare, taxes and all government programs because of its being illegal for the government to mandate any funding for anything.
Another interesting thing is the primary election process, during which we witnessed a bunch of incompetent clowns run around destroying each other while spending tens of millions of dollars of private money and another fortune in tax dollars (which they are all supposed to be against).
Just one more thing: The Unites States of America, even with the present crisis, is still the richest country in the world and free enterprise works pretty well up to a point. Since through an act of nature all of us, rich and poor, are greedy so we have to have a regulated economy. This is where government enters the picture.
Government is not as evil as some would have us believe. Every one of us has the right to make ourselves wealthy enough to live comfortably but there are a minority of somewhere around one, two or three percent of the population who have accumulated tens of millions or even billions in personal assets. These people could pay a special tax to help us get out of this mess and never even miss it.
This kind of wealth is almost criminal when there are twenty thousand or more children under the age of six years old that die from starvation or malnutrition every day—a condition that does not have to be. The kind of wealth I speak of is trillions more than any time in history.
Warren Buffett is right folks.

Traditions can be passed on, one lit candle at a time. St. Paul's School will host its annual luminary celebration on Dec. 9, beginning at dusk, or about 6 p.m. The community is invited to attend the free event, held on the school campus at 917 South Jahncke Avenue in Covington.
"Luminaries are a wonderful St. Paul's tradition that combines the old and the new," said Brother Raymond Bulliard, principal. "The Brothers from Santa Fe brought this to St. Paul's as a part of their culture and we have used this to say farewell to boarding students in the past. Although we no longer have resident students, we now use this as a way to offer a moment of quiet reflection in such a hectic time. It is always a night of peaceful beauty where we can be grateful for our blessings and concentrate on the true meaning of the season. We enjoy doing this for the members of the St. Paul's community and we welcome newcomers to the event."
The luminaries are a project of the school's student council, under the direction of moderator Amy Schultz-Marshall. Each student and full-time faculty member helps to fold a bag and write a prayer. Prayers on the bags can range from those for family and friends, to college choice, girl friends, or for soldiers over seas.
More than 1,500 bags will line walkways and driveways and around the ponds, statues and chapel area.
"The Luminaries are a tradition that has been at Saint Paul's for years," said Connor Mahony, Student Council president and the son of Kevin and Alesia Mahony of Mandeville. "It is a beautiful event that spreads Christmas cheer and helps us remember what the season is really about. Members of the student council do countless hours of work creating the event for the members of the community."
Car lights are turned off as they enter the campus and are directed by members of the school's Air Force ROTC. All of those who attend are eager to see what word will be revealed on the home-side bleachers of the school stadium. A different word is chosen each year and is kept secret until the night of the luminaries celebration. Words from past years have included "faith," "hope," "peace" and "love."
Last year, there was a Lasallian star with the years 1911 and 2011, in celebration of St. Paul's centennial celebration.
Caroling will be held in Founder's Circle at 6:30 p.m., led by chorus director Christie Simoneaux, along with the school band, under the direction of Andrew Moran. It will be followed by an all-faith prayer service in Our Lady of Peace Chapel. The Mother's Club, with chairwomen Brenda Ehrhardt and Andrea Francis, will provide refreshments of hot chocolate, coffee, brownies, cookies, cupcakes and other desserts.
For information, call 892.3200, ext. 1003, or visit the website at http://www.edline.net/pages/StPaulsSchool. St. Paul's School has 870 students in grades 8-12.

KALAMAZOO — Jake Boss knows all about the level of baseball played in the Kalamazoo area.
Why else would the Michigan State University baseball coach, in the middle of a busy season, have made the trip to Portage last week to take in the Portage Central/Loy Norrix games?
"Obviously there's been good baseball in this area for a long time. I think the shortstop for the Yankees is from around here, too, (and he) did all right for himself," Boss said tongue-in-cheek, referring to Kalamazoo Central alumnus Derek Jeter.
"I mean, Paul Schneider does a fantastic job with that (P-Central) program. I had a chance to watch them play last week," said Boss, whose 31-15 Spartans squad takes a two-game lead atop the Big Ten standings into the weekend. "It's refreshing to watch a program like that do it the right way and play hard, you know, and just play solid baseball. Making routine plays … you can tell that they're very well-coached."
Boss has two former Mustangs on his current roster in sophomore Jared Hook and junior Trey Popp, plus another on the way in P-Central senior Ryan Krill.
"He's a heck of a player, but he's an even better kid," Boss said of the 6-foot-4, 205-pound pure hitter. "He's a leader, a kid that we need to have in our program in order to elevate it to the next level. … I'm thrilled that we got him, I'm really excited to have him. He came down last weekend to watch us play last weekend, and I think he's pretty excited, too."
A handful of players from the area have signed with or committed to Division I programs. P-Central outfielder Jordan Tillman and Loy Norrix catcher Caleb Caton are bound for Western Michigan, and Gull Lake's Zach Fish is headed for Oklahoma State unless he gets drafted and goes the professional route. Former Kalamazoo Christian standout Nate Young, now at Lincoln Trail College in Illinois, recently signed with Elon University.
"It means we have a lot of talented guys, and I'd say it means a lot of great coaches," said WMU freshman pitcher Monty Porter, a P-Central grad, referring to the number of players from the area either on D-I rosters now or soon to be. "It's the quality of coaching and the quality of kids. We pretty much grow up playing around (those coaches) and they teach us a lot. Just to be able to grow up playing against other high-caliber guys really helps you in the long run."
MSU's Hook was featured by the Gazette this week, as was Portage Northern product D.J. Jarrad, a senior shortstop at Oakland University.
Here are other players from the area on Division I rosters:
• Jack Livingston (Portage Northern) is a true freshman first baseman/designated hitter at Northwestern. The 6-4, 210-pounder, who was Michigan's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2010, is batting .341 with 11 doubles, one triple and one home run in 82 at-bats.
Livingston boasts team bests in slugging percentage (.537) and on-base percentage (.462). He has even made an impact from the pitcher's mound, with a 0.00 ERA and 6-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 6.2 innings.
"I'm pretty happy with that," said Livingston, who ironically opened the season as a reliever for the Wildcats (17-27) before getting to chance to show what he could do at the plate. "I've asked coach about it, and he just says I'm too valuable offensively (to be used on the mound).
"I'm just glad that I'm getting to play and have a chance to show that I can play at this level," Livingston added. "I mean, it's been pretty cool, pretty fun and I'm looking forward to doing it for three more years.
P-Northern baseball coach Chris Andrews can't say he's surprised about the level of success Livingston is enjoying.
"No, not really. I thought that he was completely underestimated at the next level by the college coaches," Andrews said. "I was actually talking to Schneider and he brought up, 'Jack's having a good year.' I said, 'Yeah, I think Michigan would probably like to have him as their first baseman.'"
Northwestern hosts Michigan in a three-game series this weekend.
• Kyle Clark (P-Central) is a sophomore pitcher at University of Michigan (15-33). The 6-4, 185-pound right-hander was performing well before he suffered a freak injury to his pitching hand while moving a television, according to P-Central coach Paul Schneider. The broken hand ended Clark's season, in which he was 2-4 with a 3.59 ERA and working primarily as the No. 2 starter.
• Jake Engels (P-Northern) is a true freshman relief pitcher at U-M. The 6-1, 182-pound right-hander, a preferred walk-on, leads the Wolverines with three saves and is tied for most appearances (17). Engels is 1-3 with a 3.77 ERA, and has 19 strikeouts and 11 walks in 28.2 innings.
• Mac Simotes (Hackett Catholic Central) is a freshman infielder for U-M. He has gotten only four at-bats (going 1-for-4).
• P-Central grad Trey Popp is a junior relief pitcher at MSU. The lefty was a key to the Spartans' bullpen, with a 0-0 record, 1.42 ERA and a 7-to-0 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 12.2 innings, before he suffered a significant arm injury early in the season. Popp had Tommy John surgery, performed by the renowned Dr. James Andrews on March 29, and is out for the season. He is expected to recover and return next in 2012.
"Oh, it was big," Jake Boss said about losing the reliable reliever. "I think you're seeing a lot of the effects of losing Trey in the middle of the week. I think that's something that's impacted us, maybe more so in the midweek games, but certainly in the bullpen. It's a trickle-down effect, I guess. So now, everybody gets bumped up one and, you know, there are some guys that maybe shouldn't be getting some extended innings in the middle of the week that are forced to do that now."
• Greg Welke (P-Central) is a junior pitcher at Oakland. The 6-2, 170-pound right-hander is 2-7 with a 7.51 ERA in 12 starts.
• Steven Scoby (Delton Kellogg) is a junior left fielder and No. 2 batter for Valparaiso (21-26). The 5-10, 180-pounder is batting .286 with 10 doubles, one triple, 35 runs scored and 20 RBIs. He has started 46 games.
• Rod Helsen (Comstock) is a senior outfielder for Central Michigan. The 5-11, 185-pounder has appeared in 21 games for the Chippewas (26-22), who visit Robert J. Bobb Stadium this weekend. He is 3-for-13 at the plate (.231) with five runs scored.
• Three Rivers twins Dan and Drew Shutes are freshmen at WMU. Dan Shutes is a reserve infielder who is batting .207 (6-for-29) with six runs scored. Drew Shutes, a catcher, has yet to see game action.
• Monty Porter (P-Central) is a true freshman pitcher at Western Michigan. The 5-11, 160-pound right-hander is 1-3 with a 5.06 ERA in 15 appearances. Porter has struck out 22 and walked 11 in 37.1 innings.The highlight of Porter's season to this point has been earning his first collegiate win last week at MSU, when he worked 5.2 innings of relief, scattering five hits and allowing only one run. Hook got the better of Porter in their individual matchup during that May 4 game, going 2-for-2 with a walk. On Tuesday, Porter got Hook to ground out in their only showdown of the day.
"I had to get him once," Porter said with a grin. "I told him I had to get him (out) one time before the season ended."

CANAJOHARIE - Donna Reston was slowly taking in the artwork of Rufus Grider and Fritz Vogt at the Arkell Museum in the village Tuesday.
Reston had been at the reception for the exhibit "Drawn to the Same Place: The drawings of Rufus Grider and Fritz Vogt" on Saturday. The interest in the artwork of the two men, who sketched the various buildings and objects found in the Mohawk Valley in the late 19th century, led to a terrific turnout, she said, with people packed in against the walls.
"I had to come back so I could get closer and read about the works," she said with a laugh.

Interest in the works of Vogt and Grider is nothing new, Diane Forsberg said.
Forsberg, deputy director and chief curator at the Arkell Museum, said years ago - before she started working at the museum in 2005 - the museum had an exhibit about Vogt. Grider's work also had received attention, given how well he documented the history he found in the Mohawk Valley.
Alice Smith?Duncan, the guest curator of the exhibit, said Friday people in the area have started to learn more about Grider, especially because his work has been so valuable to historians. His works often is used by historians to illustrate topics, she said.
However, Vogt's work is more widely known. After exhibitions of his work, which included one in New York City, years ago, the spotlight really began to shine on Vogt's drawings.
"Vogt is highly esteemed in the folk art world," ?Smith?Duncan said.
The exhibit, which opened April 1, features more than 100 works from private and public collections. Lenders include the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown and the New York Historical Society in New York City.
Smith Duncan included plenty of information about both artists. As they gaze at drawings of churches, homes, farms and stores, patrons also can read about the two men who created the works.
Different people
While both men arrived in the Mohawk Valley in the late 19th century, the exhibit makes it clear they were very different people.
"A 48-year-old vagabond named Fritz G. Vogt, family and history unknown, arrived [in Canajoharie] in 1890," Smith Duncan wrote for the exhibit. "He had a skilled facility for drawing, and depending on season or need he offered his art or his physical labor for hire."
She noted Vogt may have been drawn from Germany by promise of work among this region's many hops fields and farms.
"Vogt slept in barns, refused rides, and suffered from a rheumatic disease," Smith Duncan wrote. "And he drank, sometimes heavily."
Grider already was a 66-year-old widowed father of two young daughters when he arrived to teach art at the Canajoharie Academy. A tee-totaler, he was embarking on a new career after already having found success in pursuits in Pennsylvania.
Smith Duncan noted that while they would not have been friends, they did have some things in common.
"Still, Vogt and Grider shared German as their native language, delighted friends with musical skills and ready wit, and tirelessly walked the rural roads with pads of paper, pencils and paint boxes," she wrote. "They must have known details of the other's work and habits, crossing paths as they followed in each other's footsteps."
Reston, a collector and dealer of Vogt's works, said she has a couple of the artist's works in the exhibit.
She pointed to one of Vogt's black and white sketches, noting the details on the house and in the animals out front.
"You can see the pride people had in the house and the animals people owned," she said.
Forsberg pointed to another of Vogt's works that shows a building, but appears to show it from more than one perspective.
"With Vogt, you can see his own fascination with buildings," she said.
Grider was fascinated with history, Forsberg said, and would do his research before drawing. Sometimes he would draw what he knew had been in a location, or how a building had appeared in the past.
"[Grider is] not showing what he sees [sometimes] but the building that was already gone," she said.
Smith?Duncan said Friday that as far as the differences between the two artists' work is concerned, Vogt created portraits of other peoples' homes and as he developed his style he introduced his own personal vision. Grider, meanwhile, tended to document historic sites for his own pleasure and posterity.
"[Grider] was not as concerned with his own self expression as an artist as much as creating a visual record," Smith?Duncan said.
The exhibit will run through Aug. 14.

The debate over the third DUI arrest for former Alabama quarterback Ken Stabler continued into my Birmingham News this morning. It's a pretty serious debate with serious issues. You've probably read about Stabler getting charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving and about Alabama's response.
Scarbo's argument, mainly, is that Ken needs help from the people who once educated him (UA) and now employ him (Learfield Communications):
"It's time for the people who care about him and profit from him to force him to put down the microphone and help him put down the bottle," Scarbinsky wrote. "It's time for Stabler himself to stop talking and start listening."
More than just an old player, Snake is an ambassador for Alabama football, serving as the radio analyst and a go-to charity event personality. His responsibility exists beyond that of private citizens. Therefore, Stabler should become an example, Kevin wrote.
"If he's guilty, imagine how much stronger Stabler's voice would be if he found the courage to admit his mistakes," he wrote. "He could become an influence instead of succumbing to one."
What do you guys think?

The city of Albion will begin searching for a new city manager after Mike Herman announced his retirement.
Herman informed the city council of his retirement Monday during its regular council meeting and will officially step down Jan. 20.
Herman's decision came as a surprise to city officials, including Albion Mayor Joe Domingo.
"The announcement was totally out of the blue," Domingo said. "We appreciate that he gave us six weeks to find someone new, though — especially this time of year, now that we're planning the 2012 budget."
The Albion City Council is expected to officially adopt its 2012 budget Dec. 19. Herman said he hopes to wrap up the city's budget and union contract negotiations before Jan. 20 to make the transition easier for city officials.
"I've been in the business for 33 years, and I can't say that the challenges that I've faced as city manager the last five or six years didn't have an effect on my decision to retire," Herman said. "But, I'm 64 years old and I've thought extensively about retiring for some time.
"Having to juggle the finances the last couple of years — to put it bluntly — just hasn't been very much fun," he joked. "It's time for me to step aside and for the council to find somebody new."
Herman applied for but did not get the Jackson city manager position last April. The next month, Domingo called for Herman to be dismissed, but the City Council gave him a unanimous vote of confidence and he retained his position.
Neither Herman nor Domingo commented on whether the decision by Domingo to hold an executive session to evaluate the city manager and possibly dismiss him had any effect on his retirement.
Herman has worked as Albion's city manager for 12 years and had previously worked as city manager at Hudson and Howell. He said he does not plan to look for another position upon his retirement.
There is no pension agreement stipulated in the city manager's contract, so Herman's retirement will not cost the city any funds.

While watching Ike Davis make his Major League debut in the orange and blue this evening, I found myself reminded of a note left by commenter SizzleChest5 in response to my plea for patience among Mets fans:
The Mets managed 2 extra base hits courtesy of an Angel Pagan HR and Jason Bay double, but they're still not exactly tearing the cover off the ball these days. It really shouldn't be that hard to generate extra-base hits in the cozy confines of Citi Field, and the slugging outtage so far may be due to small sample size or an early season slump. Heck, when was the last time Jeff Francoeur hit anything, let alone an extra-base hit?
And I still find myself most concerned with the same thing that has concerned me most about this team over the last 3+ years - they don't hit....It's not going to matter what John Maine and Ollie Perez do if the team doesn't score runs. They can make a panic move and trade all of the prospects for starting pitching and they're still not going to make the playoffs.
However, no one expects the arrival of Ike Davis to match the fanfare of Atlanta's Jason Heyward. He may be ready and this may be the right season to work on his defense at the Major League level. He's nothing more than a patch on the team's overall offense, regardless of how much we all enjoyed the 7th inning tonight.
It is a start, though. If Davis's arrival signals one thing, it's that the future does not need to look as bleak as the present. We should not embrace doom and gloom even if our GM and manager get canned before season's end. The raw materials are there for the retooling, and the 2011 Hump isn't too far off in the future.
So yes, I remain skeptical of the team's offense as presently constituted. I just remain optimistic that time may be all this team needs to turn it around and restore the Faith.
I gotta believe, right?
Around the Web
- Ike Davis has a lot of Mets fans believing that a change is gonna come to our favorite team. Always Amazin' needs a few new fan bloggers to join the ranks and explain to Mets fans why that we can believe in that change. Think you've got the chops to blog along side your friendly neighborhood Mets blogger? Just click here for details.
- Studious Metsimus presents the seemingly-obvious marketing campaign that combines the cache of Mike Pelfrey and Ike Davis.
- ESPN New York's Ian O'Connor provides Darryl Strawberry's advice to Ike Davis on his Major League debut with the Mets. Straw knows the pressure of a prominent debut, as Tom Seaver toed the rubber and Johnny Bench fortified the opposing battery during Darryl's debut in 1983.
- Beyond the Box Score's Satchel Prices debates whether Ike Davis's debut represents another Mets prospect making his debut before he's ready. I feel less concerned about David than I do about Jenrry Mejia, largely because Davis plays a position not known for great defense and because he's torn the cover off the ball above Double A. I would've liked to see Chris Carter get a shot to buy Davis more time, but I'm not broken up about this move.
- FanGraphs's Marc Hulet sees Ike Davis as an upgrade at 1B for the Mets and a possible Rookie of the Year candidate. See, folks: optimism from folks who know baseball. It's all we can ask for these days, right?
- I started a new gig on Monday, and I'm still ironing out the hours and when that lets me get to blogging. I'm around and I'll keep opining about Mets baseball when the opportunity arises.

No. 6 St. Mary's 53, No. 9 Thurston 42: Sha'Nice Storey exploded for four three-pointers in the third quarter, sparking a Blues (22-4) comeback that turned a seven-point halftime deficit into a decisive win over the Colts (20-7) in Springfield.
The victory moves the Blues of Southwest Portland into next week's Class 6A state tournament at the Rose Garden, where they'll face No. 1 Clackamas in Thursday's quarterfinals.
Brittany Hendrickson's nine second-quarter points helped fuel a 12-0 Thurston run that gave the Colts a 25-18 halftime lead, but Storey made 4 of 5 three-point attempts against Thurston's zone defense in the third quarter. The Blues carried a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter, expanded it to 13, then sealed the victory with free throws.
Storey and Zoie Sheng scored 16 apiece for St. Mary's. Anjenae Torregano added 13. Hendrickson led the Colts with 16, and Elise Nelson had 10.

The event has changed locations in part because it has outgrown its previous location.
"While we enjoyed hosting this event in years past we're happy to pass the baton of this event to our friends at the Cloverleaf," said Silver City Brewery owner Scott Houmes.
"The expansive parking lot will allow a lot more room for more fest goers to participate." Scott added. "We're very proud of this annual event in helping our local Fire Fighters."
Tickets for the Oktoberfest are $10 in advance and $15 at the door if they are still available. Tickets include entry, a raffle ticket, a bratwurst and first beer of choice.

During the week, the commemorative pint glasses can be used at each location for special pricing at all times for select beers on tap.
The Kitsap Firefighters Benevolent Fund and recently incorporated Bremerton Firefighters Local 437, are charitable organizations originally started by IAFF Local 2819 in 2001.
Reorganized as a separate entity in 2011, the Association's primary function is benevolent and charitable purposes for the benefit of citizens and visitors to Kitsap County; promoting the betterment and general welfare of firefighters, their families and the general public in times of need.

Her resignation comes just one week after the end of the first enrollment period for the Obamacare law. While the opening weeks of the rollout were marred by website woes, the administration rebounded strongly by enrolling more than 7 million people in the new insurance marketplaces.
Sebelius' resignation following her five-year tenure in Obama's Cabinet comes as the White House seeks to rebound from the politically damaging launch of the health care law. But it could also set the stage for a contentious election-year confirmation hearing to replace her, as Republicans seek to make the health law the centerpiece of their efforts to retake the Senate in the November midterm contests.
The official said Obama was nominating Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace Sebelius. The official was not authorized to discuss Sebelius' resignation ahead of the formal announcement and requested anonymity.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- "What kind of musical is this?"
That text adorns the flyer promoting University of Alabama in Huntsville's production of the satirical "Urinetown: The Musical."
"It's a line from the play," explains director David Harwell, a UAH assistant theatre professor. "It's the musical commenting on itself."
Written by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollman, "Urinetown" is set during a global water shortage so profound that citizens have to pay to use the bathroom. A Kotis student trip to Paris, where pay-per-use public restrooms had been implemented, inspired him to pen the musical.
"Urinetown" dialogue even addresses the musical's off-putting title, Harwell says.
"There's a line where one of the characters says, 'I don't think many people are going to come see this musical.' And (another character) says, 'Why not?' and she says, 'The title is awful.' Humor is a great coping mechanism and a great way to deal with traumatic ideas and sad things. Comedy is medicine."
"Urinetown" will play Chan Auditorium on the UAH campus 7:30 p.m. March 13-16 and 20-23, and 2:30 p.m. March 17 and 24. Tickets are $15 and available via 256-824-6871.
"It's not a mission play," Harwell says. He's driving his Mazda truck to rehearsals. "It's not a statement about water conservation, but it's an interesting little premise that gives way to an evening of fun. It makes fun of corporations being so entrenched in our lives they control the bathrooms."
In 2001, "Urinetown" debuted in New York, where Harwell was living at the time. He didn't see it then, but enjoyed a Huntsville production about a few years ago at Renaissance Theatre and "thought it played really well." "It opened (in New York) right after 9/11. But I think the success of the piece was the dark nature was satisfying to audiences at that time, and yet it wasn't dramatic. It was playful."
"Urinetown" takes place over two acts.
The UAH cast numbers 21, including students, alumni and a "few community participants."
They've been rehearsing the show for about 10 weeks. Past, New York "Urinetown" productions have featured Hugh Jackman and Patrick Dempsey.
The original "Urinetown" contained about 16 musical numbers. Harwell says "Cop Song" is a highlight of the UAH version. "It's a patter song, which was made popular by the operetta in the late 19th century."
