2010 could be the year of John Lannan
This could be the year of John Lannan. While everyone has been focused on Stephen Strasburg's every move and pitch, Lannan has done what he has always done best–traveled under the radar like a stealth bomber. The cool-headed, hard working pie master, low maintenance man is having his best Spring to date: 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA (3 ER/ 11 IP), one walk, six strikeouts and a .190 BAA. The kid that keeps defying odds is entering his third full season in the Majors–not even he thought he would ever make it to the pros– and he could be the Nats first 15-game winner since Livan Hernandez in 2005.
A few thoughts from Lannan…
On the additions of Jason Marquis and Chien-Ming Wang:
"We got a lot of guys that have won and know how to win. Of course I am happy with what the front office has done."
Marquis and Lannan are the only two Native New Yorkers to beat the Mets and Yankees in the same season:
"There is something about pitching in front of your family and against the team you grew up watching. It is a great feeling just to pitch there and have your whole family and friends cheer you on. That's a pretty cool fact."
On victories:
(Every pitcher has pitched well enough to get a victory but for whatever reasons walked away with the loss. It seems to happen to Lannan more frequently than others though. The sum of his outings weren't indicative of his overall record last season. First, he had a 3.71 run support average, the second-worst RSA in the Majors last season with at least 200.0 IP. Second, just look the numbers between CC Sabathia and himself. It begs the question: how many wins would have Lannan had if he pitched for the Yankees in 2009?)
Number of games started allowing three earned runs or less:
Sabathia: 23 Lannan: 23
ERA in those games:
Sabathia: 1.78 ERA (32 ER/ 161.2 IP) Lannan: 2.24 ERA (39 ER/ 156.2 IP)
Individual Record in those games:
Sabathia: 18-0 Lannan: 9-5
Team Record in those games:
Sabathia: 20-3 Lannan: 12-11
"I am taking my lumps right now. It doesn't really get to me. There have been plenty of times when I have given up more than three runs and have walked away with the win. It evens out. You can't really look too deep into that. You want to go out there and put up wins. But you have to look at how many games the team wins when you are out on the mound. That overall record is more important than my individual record."
(As you probably could have guessed, it doesn't quite even out. During his two-plus seasons in the Majors, he has just two wins when he has allowed four runs or more and he has 13 losses when he has allowed three runs or less. In the losses, he has a 3.10 ERA but a 1.22 run support average and that explains it all.)
On being the de facto ace last season and how he sees himself entering 2010:
"I am just going to do what I do… the title of ace didn't really fit my attitude with where I was with my game last year. But hopefully one day I can feel comfortable with that title, but right now I am comfortable with where I am at."
On losing the twitter battle–first person to garner 1,000 followers–to teammate Collin Balester:
"He had a two week head start. I lost and I will give him that but look at who has more followers now."
(Balester was the first to 1,000 followers but Lannan has taken a commanding lead. As of right now the score is: Lannan 1,968 to Balester 1,408)
On 2010 goals:
"You don't want to put a cap on what you can do. No one has won 33 games but you don't want to say you can't do that. That mentality has really helped me out. As far as numbers go, I just want to improve on last year, little by little and just have fun. Go out there and compete and just improve every year."
Nats end season with seven game winning streak
The 2009 regular season is in the books for the Nationals. They ended the final week with a bang. They won the last seven games, sweeping the Mets at Nationals Park with a Justin Maxwell walk-off grand slam and the Braves at Turner Field. Of course, baseball has a stat for everything and the Nationals became the first team in Major League history to lose the first seven games of the season and win the last seven games.
Game 162 lasted four hours and 18 minutes, went 15 innings, with a combined 41 players used, 425 pitches thrown, 26 hits and only three runs. That's baseball. The Nats took a 2-1 lead when Alberto Gonzalez singled to center to score Elijah Dukes in the top of the 15th.
It was a meaningless game that meant everything. With Pete Orr playing third base, Mike Morse playing first base and Jorge Padilla playing left, the Nats made game 162 a memorable moment.
"This is going to be my strongest memory," reliever Ron Villone said. "I haven't been involved in a World Series, but I've never been in a game on the last day of the season like this — the way we turned things around. We didn't accomplished what we wanted, but we went out there, battled and left it all out there."
The Nationals are hoping the 2010 season brings many more winning streaks like this one that closed out the 2009 campaign, more dramatic victories and October baseball to NatsTown.
It may happen sooner than you think.
The storm clouds–literally (22 games totaling 2,460 minutes of delayed, suspended and postponed baseball) and figuratively–will eventually roll away from Nationals Park. The 2010 season is next and the forecast is favorable.
True, the Nationals didn't look like a contender in 2009. Still, there is a growing sense of progress within the Nationals organization that has spawned optimism about 2010. So how does a team with consecutive 100-plus loss seasons turn it around? Well, it helps to first see them as a 71 win team, the pace the team has kept since the All-Star Break. That turns the math from calculus to simple subtraction. The magic number to win a wild card or a division varies each year but 90-91 wins almost certainly secures a spot. Plenty of teams have improved 20.0 games in one season. It is less of a feat than the 31.0 game improvement completed by the Rays in 2008, they too had the worst record in the Majors the year before.
The Rays aren't the only team to complete a 180 degree turnaround in one season. In 1999, the Diamondbacks improved 35.0 games. The Giants improved 31.0 games in 1993. Since 1991, seven NL teams and two AL teams completed the climb from cellar to Division Champion. The Nats would gladly settle for the Wild Card. Nationals President Stan Kasten keeps 1991 close to his heart. It provides an immediate rebuttal to anyone who says it can't happen. He references the 1991 Braves when looking at the Nationals future. He joined both franchises, the Braves in '87 and the Nationals in '06, at a similar stage in the building process–the bottom. He is using the same building principles and philosophies with the Nats that helped orchestrate an unprecedented 12 straight division titles from 1991-2003 under his watch with the Braves.
In 1990, the Minnesota Twins finished last in the AL West Division with a 74-88 record and the
Atlanta Braves finished with the worst record in the Majors at 65-97. In 1991, two teams went from worst to first, the Twins won 95 games and the Braves won 94. It took seven games to determine the World Series Champion.
There is a stark difference between opportunity and achievement–it separates a team from a 70-
92 record from a team with a 92-70 record. The Nats know that. They know what has to happen if they want to be celebrating with champagne at the end of September.
The bullpen is bolstered.
This will be the Nationals main priority. They had 20 blown saves and posted a 5.71 ERA at the All-Star break. They have revamped the relief corp and there is only one bullpen pitcher left from Opening Day. They only blew five in the second half of the season.
"I think it's a major point of emphasis for the offseason," General Manager Mike Rizzo said. "We have gotten better. We have many more capable hearts than we did at the beginning of the season. But I'm certainly not satisfied with it."
Sean Burnett and Tyler Clippard have been nice additions. Mike MacDougal has provided stability out of the closer's role that was missing earlier in the season. Who stays, who leaves is still a question mark but a bullpen makes or breaks a potential playoff ballclub in September.
The young guns lose… young.
Kasten points to future Hall of Fame pitchers John Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine's collective sub-.500 record their first two years in the Majors when talking about young pitchers struggling early in their careers–almost all pitchers experience growing pains.
"I think our young pitchers have kind of grown up right in front of our eyes and offensively we have hit our stride," Adam Dunn said. "It's going to be fun next year… It's going to be a lot of fun."
The Nationals have watched their young guns John Lannan, Jordan Zimmermann (out for the
2010 season), Ross Detwiler, Shairon Martis, Craig Stammen, J.D. Martin, Collin Balester and Garrett Mock experience it firsthand. But all of them have shown signs of promise this year. The starters posted a 3.86 ERA in the month of June. At least three of them need to lose the "young"
moniker in 2010.
The defense turns hits into outs.
The Nats will be searching for a free agent field general up the middle. Their defense has drastically improved since the All-Star break but their shortstop-second baseman combo committed the most errors in the Majors this season. That isn't a formula for success. "It's hard to win," Ryan Zimmerman said, "when you give the other team more than 27 outs." Dunn has smoothly transitioned to first base and Zimmerman is a Gold Glove caliber player at the hot corner. Nyjer Morgan solidified a place in center field for the coming years and covers more ground than Rock Creek Park.
What is good gets better.
The Nationals defining moment of the 2009 season happened off the field, tucked behind home plate, adjacent to the Lexus Presidents Club, in the press conference room at 4 p.m. on April 20. The soft-spoken, clean-cut Zimmerman–with the stroke of a pen–became a National for the next five years. Add Dunn and Josh Willingham to the mix and you have a ferocious heart of the order that will carry the offense. "We've got a lot of guys that are in their prime offensively and if we can continue to make progress in pitching and defense," Dunn said, "that's the formula to go from last to first."
Stephen Strasburg and Drew Storen become the wild card.
Someday the 2009 First-Year Player Draft might be viewed as the turning point for the Nationals. Time will tell but it has left a strong first impression. The Nationals used their 2009 compensation pick (No. 10 overall) to draft Storen, a closer, who had a sensational first season in the Minor Leagues. Strasburg and Storen will pitch in the Arizona Fall League this October and will get a chance to make the team out of Spring Training. During the 1991 season in Atlanta, left-handed pitcher Steve Avery was the X-factor. The third overall pick in the 1988 First-Year Player Draft went 3-11 in 1990. He had a sensational sophomore season as a 21-year-old and went 18-8.
A veteran pitcher arrives.
The team picked up the rubber armed Livan Hernandez to eat innings in September. Will he pitch for the Nats in 2010? The Nats believe the additions of Dunn, Willingham and Morgan will attract a veteran pitcher and persuade them that it is the beginning of a good, exciting ballclub.
"We have to have a special type of veteran pitcher, who is willing to give of himself as a
teacher and mentor type of guy," Rizzo said. "We have to get a team-oriented person, a person that is going to give his time and his knowledge. It's not an easy task."
The Nats task isn't easy. Baseball teams can't be built overnight and turnarounds aren't instant, seamless and easy. It takes time, a lot of it. The Rays endured 10 consecutive seasons of losing. The Braves had seven straight losing seasons before 1991. But then it clicks and it will click eventually. So consider yourself warned because the future is bright and the Nationals are primed to put Washington back on the baseball map in 2010.
Schedule set for 2010
2010 Schedule Released
The 2010 schedule is out. The Nationals kick off the season on Monday April 5, 2010 vs. NL East-rival Philadelphia for the second consecutive season. It will be Washington's 77th home opener since 1901.
Highlights include:
- To get the action started NatsTown battles Red Sox Nation in an exhibition game on Saturday, April 3. Earlier this season, the Red Sox-Nationals series resulted in three sellouts, as over 125,000 fans witnessed Boston's initial pilgrimage to Nationals Park.
- The Nats are hosting a Fourth of July game for the fifth time since moving to the District in 2005–the most logical place for an Independence Day game. The New York Mets come to town for a four-game set over the Fourth of July weekend (July 1-4). They will be back for Labor Day weekend too.
- Other clubs of note making weekend plans in DC next season that aren't in the NL East are the Milwaukee Brewers (April 16-18), Los Angeles Dodgers (April 23-25), San Francisco Giants (July 9-11) and the St. Louis Cardinals (August 27-29).
- The Cubs come to Washington for a three-game series, August 23-25.
- The 14th season of interleague play starts with the annual home-and-home series with their friendly neighborhood rival, the Orioles. The 2010 version of the "Battle of the Beltways" series begins at Nationals Park the weekend of May 21-23 and concludes at Oriole Park, June 25-27.
- The NL East plays the AL Central for Interleague play. The Nats make interleague treks to Cleveland (June 11-13) and Detroit (June 15-17). They host a three-game visit from the Chicago White Sox, June 18- 20, which headlines the interleague slate at Nationals Park. The Kansas City Royals will also visit the Nation's Capital for the first time, June 21-23. The interleague tilts against the White Sox and Royals allow the Nationals to officially complete the Major League Baseball circuit of having played each of the other 29 clubs at least once. They don't play the Twins in 2010.
- Washington fans will enjoy 12 homestands in all, three of which last a season-long 10 games. The Nationals and their fans will notice a concentration of home dates both early and late in the season. Washington opens the 2010 campaign with 13 of its first 18 games played at home. Then, starting with an August 23 contest against the Cubs at Nationals Park, 23 of Washington's next 38 contests will be played in the District.
- The NL will aim to end a winless streak dating back to 1996 as the Angels host the 81st All-Star Game on July 13.
- There are a few interleague matchups that are World Series rematches: the Mets at Baltimore (1969 World Series), Atlanta at Minnesota (1991 World Series), the Yankees at Arizona (2001 World Series), Cincinnati at Oakland (1972 and 1990 World Series, Boston at Colorado (2007 World Series) and Philadelphia at Toronto (1993 World Series).The Yankees travel to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers from June 25-27. They met in 10 World Series.

Catcher Flores to Undergo Surgery for Torn Labrum
After missing most of the season with a nagging injury, catcher Jesus Flores was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his right shoulder which will require surgery. Flores was originally injured after being struck by a foul ball on May 9th. However Flores was never able to fully recover and his injury worsened from a contusion to a stress fracture to tendonitis to the final diagnosis of a torn labrum. The procedure will be performed today by Dr. James Andrews who expects a 3-6 month recovery period for Flores. However, the Nationals aren't worried about his availability for next season.
"He should be ready for the middle of Spring Training, worst-case scenario," General Manager Mike Rizzo said.

Seizing the day
President Barack Obama's vision of high-speed rail lines coursing through the country moved toward reality last week as Vice President Joe Biden met with governors to talk about how individual states might use federal funds to advance the plan.
Be bold, Vice President Biden and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood urged the governors and transportation officials as they propose public transit models that would relieve congestion on the highways and in the environment.
"We're going to start building a high-speed rail system that will loosen the congestion suffocating our highways and skyways, and make travel in this country leaner, meaner and a whole lot cleaner," Biden told a White House meeting with eight governors, including Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, and transportation officials from 15 other states including New Jersey.
That lofty, yet attainable, goal is backed by $13 billion in federal funds -- $8 billion in the Recovery Act and $5 billion requested in the President's budget -- to jump-start a potential world-class passenger rail system. Detailed guidance for up to the first $8 billion in federal grant applications will be announced later this month and the first round of grants is expected to be awarded as soon as the end of summer.
Advocates of public transport, including Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., see high-speed rail lines as an antidote for aging highways that are crowded beyond capacity. Producing a much lower level of greenhouse gases than conventional models, high-speed rail also makes environmental sense in a country attuned to reducing pollution and increasing efficiency.
"America is ready to embrace a new level of passenger rail service that offers a safe, convenient, and sustainable way to travel from city to city, and region to region," predicted LaHood. "President Obama has handed us an extraordinary opportunity -- and now it is up to all of us to seize the moment."...

Capito bill would end health subsidy for Congress
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Members of Congress receive a 75-percent subsidy toward their health insurance, but legislation introduced by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito seeks to eliminate it beginning next year after the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, goes into effect.
Capito, R-Charleston, is the chief sponsor of House Resolution 3067, the "No Obamacare Subsidies for Members of Congress Act." The legislation would amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and states "no federal funds shall be expended" to provide health plan subsidies for those elected to the U.S. House and Senate.
Beginning in 2014, members of Congress are ineligible for participation in the federal employees' health system. Instead they must purchase their health care through plans created by the new health care law or offered through an insurance exchange, Capito said. The Office of Personnel Management decided in August that members could continue to receive the subsidies for insurance offered under Obamacare.
Other Americans who purchase exchange plans will only receive government support toward the purchase of an exchange plan if they earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level, Capito said. For example, a single individual who earns $46,000 will not qualify for a subsidy.
"Obamacare fundamentally changes the American health care system, leaving an estimated 7 million Americans without their employer-sponsored health care as a result," Capito said. "West Virginians will feel the pain of Obamacare through lost jobs and employer-sponsored insurance, reduced hours and higher premiums."
Members of Congress should not receive special treatment under Obamacare, she continued.
"As Americans across the country feel the pain of Obamacare … it isn't fair for lawmakers to be treated any differently," she said. "Under my bill, members of Congress would be treated like any other American who purchases an individual health insurance policy from the exchange. As long as Obamacare remains law, members of Congress should not receive exchange subsidies that are not provided to other Americans."

Top prospect transaction wire
We get a regular report emailed to us when something happens with one of the 600 players on Prospect Watch in pro ball — Top 100 or team Top 20. It helps us know when we need to update the information on there.
Obviously, we can't update a player's blurb with every DL move, saving it for the more serious injuries, big promotions, etc. We've been having a discussion about what to do with the information otherwise. There's no clear place to put it, but it's also good information we'd like to share with everyone. So, for the time being, I'm going to try and post it here whenever possible. Maybe it'll be a weekly item (Transaction Tuesday — I always do like alliteration). Here's some of the most recent goings on with the top prospects in the game. I'm focusing on the Minor League ones, figuring most see when guys get called up to the big leagues.
Nick Maronde, LHP, Angels — DL (strained lat). No. 6 on Angels' Top 20
Khris Davis, OF, Brewers — DL (leg injury). No. 13 on Brewers' Top 20
Jake Petricka, RHP, White Sox — Promoted from Winston-Salem (Class A Adv) to Birmingham (AA). No. 5 on White Sox's Top 20
Nestor Molina, RHP, White Sox — Promoted from Birmingham (AA) to Charlotte (AAA). No. 2 on White Sox's Top 20.
Stephen Pryor, RHP, Mariners — Promoted from Jackson (AA) to Tacoma (AAA). No. 9 on Mariners' Top 20.
Joe Benson, OF, Twins — Demoted from Rochester (AAA) to New Britain (AA). No. 5 on Twins' Top 20.
That's just a smattering… Over the course of the week, there's much more and I'll start compiling them and providing more info… If people have ideas or suggestions for this, please fire away.
Prospecting in Japan
I haven't done much in the past regarding international signings. Not that I haven't wanted to, it's just that it seems other things get in the way. Every year I promise myself to do more, particularly with the young amateurs signed from Latin America. We'll see if I can do better in 2011.
For now, though, I'm venturing east. Far East, that is. Players coming from Japan aren't really prospects, at least as how I see it. But they are eligible for Rookie of the Year consideration, so I should take a look at them when given the opportunity. So I reached out to some Pacific Rim scouts I know to get some info. on the two Japanese players getting most of the attention these days.
The first is RHP Hisashi Iwakuma. The A's bid $19.1 million for the rights to negotiate with the right-hand and have until Dec. 7 to try and get something done. There's been a lot of buzz about the talks, or the lack thereof. Whether or not they have stopped talking, or whether the amounts agent Don Nomura has floated out there are accurate, here's a breakdown of what Iwakuma might bring to the table should he come to the U.S. in 2011:
Most scouts see Iwakuma as a No. 3 starter in Major League Baseball. He has several pitches in his arsenal and knows how to pitch. One scout reported he throws a fastball, slider, curve and splitter. All are heavy with downward action, making him an extreme ground-ball pitcher when he's on. The fastball sits in the upper 80s, but touches low 90s. The slider is an average pitch, while one scout said the curve is more of a show-me pitch only. He's got great command, but nibbles too much. More than one scout made comments about him holding back at times in Japan, while one said that has led some to question his intestinal fortitude on the mound. He does tend to avoid the spotlight, but did pitch very effectively in the World Baseball Classic.
The other player is infielder Tsuyoshi Nishioka, whom the Twins just bid $5 million for the rights to negotiate with. They have until Dec. 26 to get a deal done. He picked up his third Gold Glove in Japan this year and has said he'd be fine playing shortstop or second if/when he comes over. The 26-year-old just won a batting title by hitting .346 this past season. There have been some obvious parallels made to Ichiro (speedy leadoff type, slap hitter), though Nishioka has had injury issues Ichiro never has. Scouts have mixed feelings about Nishioka:
One scout felt he'd be more like a Kaz Matsui or Kosuke Fukudome type, with not nearly an Ichiro-type impact. He is a plus runner — one scout gave him an 80 on the 20-80 scouting scale for his speed. That hasn't always translated to good base-running skills as his base-stealing percentages haven't been great. He can hit a little from both sides of the plate. He's more of a slap hitter from the right side, showing some gap power from the left. He's got a bit of a bail in his swing, one that's been seen in other Japanese hitters. It causes him to open up his front side too early, so what power he has shown might not translate once he comes here. He hasn't always shown great focus and attitude, but winning a title this past year might have helped. So might coming here, as it's long been a goal of his to play in the Majors here. Most feel he's much better suited to second base than shortstop on an every-day basis. He's drawn a comparison to a player like Erick Aybar
Day 4: Bradenton
I'm in Pirate City folks. And yet, the guy I'm going to focus on in a bit is a Twin. Go figure.
First, a couple of tidbits, one on-the-field related and one an off-the-field bizarre small world story I meant to share with you yesterday.
I'm beginning to fear that prospects — especially in the Pirates organization — are going to start avoiding me. I saw — and wrote about — Jose Tabata here yesterday. Then I find out when I arrive in Bradenton that Tabata, along with Tom Gorzelanny, had been sent to the Minor League side. Gorzo will be in the Indianapolis rotation and it's looking like Tabata will start with Double-A Altoona.
Then, to add to it, I see the Pirates again today. Neil Walker makes a few nice plays at third, walks and scores a run. Then, after the game, he's optioned to Triple-A as well. To be fair, both were eventually going to be sent down. Turns out that Walker's was more a procedural move than anything else. If a player is on the 40-man roster and is still in big-league camp after March 20, if he gets hurt, he has to be put on the big-league disabled list. That might not sound like much, but that counts against his service time clock and he'd get a Major League salary. Since Walker was not going to make the club anyway, it's not that big of a deal. Walker, as always, handled it with grace and said he understood the situation. Sounds like it was well communicated to him and the Pirates, for their part, would've loved to keep him around to let him learn in this atmosphere for a while longer. But rules are rules.
OK, on to our Prospect Impression:
I first met Twins prospect Luke Hughes at the 2008 Futures Game. The Aussie was on the World Team and we took him and New Zealander (Kiwi) Scott Campbell of the Blue Jays on a double-decker bus tour of New York City. A good time was had by all. You can watch the video feature we did by going here. The link is on the bottom right, where it says "Hughes, Campbell tour NYC."
Now, Hughes isn't just a good personality. He split the year between Double- and Triple-A in 2008, finishing with a .309 average and .524 slugging percentage. The 24-year-old then went to Venezuela and handled himself well, hitting .298 in 32 games. He's on the 40-man roster and participated in the World Baseball Classic, where he went 3-for-12 with a homer and three RBIs in Australia's three games.
He's still in big-league camp and really opening some more eyes. He had two more hits today against hte Pirates to raise his average to .429 (6-for-14). He's played second, third and the outfield over the past year. He'll either settle into one position (an offensive-minded 2B perhaps?) or he can be a superutility guy who can really rake. Whatever the case, he's bound for Triple-A eventually. He told me he was hoping he could stick around in big-league camp for another week, at least, maybe show more people what he can do. The bigger impression you can make up here, after all, the more likely the whole "phone call away" thing comes true.
I've got an "off day" tomorrow, but I'll try to do a draft update of some sort just to mix it up.

Lucca, Italy is Incinerator Free: A Short History
September 20th, 2010
In 1996 when the province of Lucca in the Tuscany region of Italy faced its first incinerator proposal, AmbienteFutoro, an Italian environmental group and GAIA member, sought help from Dr. Paul Connett, incinerator expert and GAIA ally. At the communitys request Dr. Connett went to Lucca province, home to over 300,000 people, and educated citizens about the major environmental and health concerns produced by incineration. Despite opposition from the entire community, the regional government of Tuscany accepted the incinerator proposal. In 1997 construction began on the Pietrasanta incinerator. During construction community members continued to show their opposition. In one demonstration activists were beaten by police and over one-hundred of them were put on trial. Fortunately, after a few years they were absolved of any wrongdoing.
In 2003 the Pietrasanta plant began operating at 60,000 RDF tons per year, but after only eight days it failed to meet dioxin emissions standards and was closed. Months later it reopened with an Amesa system for dioxin emission control placed on only one of the plants two lines. Residents and activists were very disappointed. AmbienteFuturo and other local activists continued to organize public meetings and activities, including taking action on GAIAs Global Day of Action. They also began to promote door-to-door waste collection and a zero waste vision.
In 2007 the incinerator was sold to Veolia and began operating again. Tests in early 2008 showed that dioxin emissions by Pietrasanta were above legal standards, and public officials opened an investigation. In July the plant was closed. AmbienteFuturo and other local groups held press conferences with Dr. Paul Connett and other experts to raise awareness of the dangers of incinerators. They also held meetings with local mayors asking them to help shut down the Pietrasanta plant, but because the plant was built under a project financing contract, the mayors were under strict obligation to deliver their municipalities waste to the plant or risk paying large fees.
January 2009 one line of the plant started again under tight regulation from
local authorities, but after some months it again failed to pass emissions
tests. At the same time, local watchdog groups announced to public
officials that Veolia was discharging polluted water into the Rio Baccatoio, a
small river very close to the plant. On July 8th, 2010 public
officials seized the incinerator and shut it down. Four of the waste management
plant staff, including a top finance manager, were put on trial.
All of the mayors in Lucca Province have now begun to promote a door-to-door waste collection system in their municipalities. Their efforts are already paying off; one municipality in the area, Seravezza, has reached an 80% recycling/composting rate and declared a zero waste target by 2020. In addition the mayors, urged by local citizens, are asking Veolia to pay for the pollution and will take part in the trial against the company.
The Piestrasanta incinerator is not the only incinerator in the province to close recently due to popular opposition and economic and technical challenges. As a result, the Lucca province is completely free of incinerators, and the Capannori and Seravezza municipalities have committed to zero waste. AmbienteFuturo is now asking the provincial government to make Lucca the first zero waste Italian province. Fifteen years of grassroots work has enabled the province of Lucca to potentially realize a future of zero waste solutions without incinerators.

I used to win a lot of tournaments when I was younger and was highly rated at the time but stopped playing for 30 years. Just picked it back up and have to relearn my openings all over again...so if you play me expect a lot of unconventional moves and a very agressive opponent that will take a lot of chances and sacrifice anything to get an attack going. I usually lose but it's a lot of fun. I always challenge highly rated players to get better...you won't see me padding my rating by playing lesser opponents, like some people I have seen. Remember everyone...chess is still just a game!

I came to realize that my problems, worries, and pressures began and ended with the person in my mirror. I realized also that if I could learn to manage the character I shaved with every morning, I would win.
Today marks 6 months since my weight loss surgery that cured my diabetes and gave me a new chance to finally get off my ass and get living.
110 lbs lighter and full of energy. But the past few weeks I've been hit with some shit news that could set back anyone.
This past week its been real real hard. A death, cancer, divorce and unemployment. I refuse to cower and hide in drugs and alcohol like some people do.
Time to step it up another level & make a move.
It starts with a reminder to my body that I'm the only thing that can get me down.
Time for a Lowell walkabout.

While JaMarcus Russell's arrest Monday for possession of codeine syrup may have been shocking to many in his hometown of Mobile, at least one writer who followed his NFL career in Oakland wasn't surprised.
"Wish I had a dollar for every time I got an e-mail or a tip about Russell and prescription cough syrup," Jerry McDonald, who covers the Raiders for the Bay Area News Group, wrote on his Twitter page Monday. "My answer was the same every time ... can't touch the Russell-cough syrup issue until there's some kind of documentation."
That documentation came Monday, when the former Williamson High and LSU star quarterback was arrested at his home in Mobile after being found in possession of one bottle of codeine syrup. Mobile County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lori Myles said his arrest was the result of an ongoing two-month investigation by the department's undercover narcotics team.
"The investigation was not directed toward JaMarcus," she said. "They received numerous tips, and his name came up several times during the investigation."
Myles said Russell did not have a prescription for the drug, an opiate that is often mixed with soda and Jolly Ranchers candy to produce "Purple Drank," a concoction popularized in the Houston area in the 1990s and said to be popular among some pro athletes.
Green Bay nose tackle Johnny Jolly, a Houston native, was arrested in July 2008 for possession of the substance, and former NBA player Shawne Williams was arrested in Memphis in January on charges that he conspired to sell codeine-based syrup.
Myles said sheriff's investigators are still trying to determine whether Russell was using the codeine to produce Purple Drank. The bottle in Russell's possession has been sent to the Department of Forensic Sciences to determine the amount of syrup in the bottle.
There were no other arrests, although several other people were in Russell's home at the time of his arrest. Myles said the investigation is continuing, and there is still the possibility of additional arrests.
Russell, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft, was released by the Raiders in May after winning only seven of his 25 starts. He had reportedly been working out in Arizona in hopes of being signed by another NFL team, although his arrest may have torpedoed those chances.
The New York Jets had reportedly called Russell's agent about the possibility of bringing him in as a backup, but the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta quoted an unnamed league source Monday as saying the arrest effectively ended that conversation.
The Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League last month had expressed interest in signing Russell, and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats own his Canadian Football League rights.
Russell, who was released from Mobile Metro Jail on $2,500 bond shortly after his arrest Monday afternoon, has a bond hearing set for this morning and is scheduled to appear in court on July 20. Neither Russell nor his agent, Ethan Locke, returned calls seeking comment Tuesday.

Rossi, who has worked for the county since 2009, will begin his new post on May 14.
Interim Vineland Superintendent Mary Gruccio, who is also a Cumberland County freeholder, recommended Rossi to the board to fill the job.
"While I will miss the many fine professionals who serve Cumberland County government, I am eager to join the Vineland Public Schools," said Rossi, in a statement released Friday. "My goal is to help the students by recruiting, selecting, training and retaining the finest faculty and staff members available while also supporting the personnel-oriented endeavors of the administration and the Board of Education.
"I look forward to establishing and maintaining relationships of mutual respect and trust with the district's collective bargaining unit," he added. "Both parties must strive to resolve misunderstandings and differences amicably and move forward to meet the mission of providing high quality education to the deserving students of Vineland."
Prior to his employment with Cumberland County, Rossi worked at Atlantic Cape Community College in a variety of positions, including dean of labor relations, CMC campus, and security. He also served as interim vice president of administration and finance, executive director of human resources and labor relations, director of personnel services; supervisor of employment and compensation, and publications coordinator and relations assistant.
He served in these positions from 1984 to 2009.


text: I have a Rock River midlength upper that I load 62 grain bullets with either 23 grains of TAC or accurate 2230. After shooting the brass 4 times I have found zero change in case neck length. Is this due to the wylde chamber or to the light load? All I can say is that I love this rifle all the more because I hate trimming my brass. Also, shouldn't my brass last pretty much forever if it is not having to be trimmed?

Joel Dimmette sees it as an island of hope if he and members of a new nonprofit group find the money to make it a bona fide homeless shelter for families.
"Vicksburg has many homeless families, but has no family shelter," Dimmette said. "Countless families need help, but do not get what is available because they are either unaware of help or lack a place to live while trying to receive help."
On Feb. 1, Dimmette, members of Lifting Lives Ministries and about two dozen others plan to camp out in front of the old lodge for 24 hours to shine a light on homelessness and raise about $40,000 to convert 18 run-down motel rooms into efficiency living spaces for families, or about 75 people. With about $25,000 already in hand, the plan is for it to keep families "housed and showered" as they pull their lives together, Dimmette said.
"It's called Freezing for Homeless Families," Dimmette said. "We're asking people to stop by and donate operating capital."
Multiple shelters operate in Vicksburg for victims of domestic violence or for women and children, including Haven House, Warren County Children's Shelter, Women's Restoration Shelter and Faith House.
"We will be able to address the total family as a unit," Dimmette said. "By being outside in the cold of February, we want to show the problem."
The 2012 Point in Time Count, a census of the nation's homeless population, showed 204 people in Vicksburg and Warren County without a place to stay, up from 117 in 2011. The count takes place annually during the last 10 days of January, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The shelter rooms are to be painted and outfitted with new air conditioning and heating systems.
Then, the facility must be inspected by the Vicksburg Building and Inspection Department. A makeover can happen within 40 days of the full amount raised, Dimmette said.
The building is being leased from Jet Properties LLC, the listed owner of the 3-acre motel property.
Lifting Lives Ministries, made up of members of Bypass Church of Christ, will offer Bible study to homeless families and has sought financial assistance from the federal government and businesses big and small, such as Tyson Foods and Gary Jones Pest Control. The focus remains on the families, said Dimmette, executive director for Lifting Lives.
"We are not a religious organization," he said. "We answer to the donors."
Members of the ministry's volunteer board hope the shelter can make a dent in the rising homeless count.
"The rooms really only need cosmetic things like cleaning, paint, new beds, carpet," said Nellie Caldwell, board member and former chairwoman of the Riverfront Mural Committee. "They aren't really that bad."
Dr. Willie Nettle, a church elder and theologian, said his work with the homeless at Women's Restoration and Faith House, both run by Mountain of Faith Ministries, demands another facility.
"I've worked with Mountain of Faith and the people who've been blessed by their service," Nettle said. "This meets a felt need in the community."
Bobbie Heads, an oral communication teacher at Vicksburg High School, heard about the issue in the school system.
"There are children in the school system that are in the situation," Heads said. "They don't like to talk about it, but the counselors do work with them and let us know."
Dimmette, 33, a Wilmington, N.C., native and theology student, quit a private sector job with a software company to jump-start the nonprofit and shelter plans. It's a labor of love and faith, said the father of two children, ages 5 and 7.
"I'm trying to create an environment where I don't have to break the law and still do what God wants," he said. "Some things are more important than money."

First day went really well. I have been working on cutting down full fat dairy for a few days before starting the challenge, so I didn't find it too difficult today. The first few days were horrible. At the end of each meal I felt unsatisfied - like I needed a dessert of cheese or cream in tea.
B (6.15am) - pre-workout - 1/2 serve roast chicken and 1/2 avocado
Workout - 30 mins weights and 4 mins tabta sprints - totally struggled on sprints today, must be from being lazy on my holidays
8am - post-workout meal - 2/3 cup sweet potato and 2 eggs cooked in 2TBS coconut oil and cinamon. I have never tired cinamon on eggs before, and it was delicious. This was also the first starchy carbs I have had in a while... thought I would try them out post work-out, and I felt great afterwards, so much more energy than I usually have. I did start feeling low blood sugar by 11am, but think I would have felt this had I had the carbs or not.
11am snack - handful dry roasted almonds
L: roast chicken and 1 cup lettuce with 1 TBS homemade mayo, small handful of macadamias for dessert. Not sure what else to eat when i feel like something 'extra' after a meal for dessert, as I don't do too well on fruit, and now dairy is out.
3pm snack - handful of raw almonds
I know I have had way too many nuts today, however I wasn't even hungry for dinner. I ate dinner just because I had a friend over that I was cooking for, but could have gone without.
8pm - small serving of roast beef and lettuce with drizzle of olive oil and balsmaic vinegar.
Had so much energy in the evening, which I never normally have. Normally I can't keep my eyes open past 9pm, but at 11pm I was still buzzing. Perhaps not such a good thing when my twins wake me at 5.30am every morning without fail

A. J. Hyland's big brother told him in 2001 that he was retiring and that he wanted A. J. to take over the family business, Hyland Software. The brother, John Patrick "Packy" Hyland Jr., also told his kid brother that he had two weeks to transition from being the No 2 guy to president and chief executive officer. These are excerpts from a chat between A. J. Hyland and Plain Dealer reporter Olivera Perkins.
How has being CEO contrasted with serving as second in charge? It is a very long way from the No. 2 person and the No. 1 person. When you're No. 2 everyone knows that "The buck stops here," and you are not that. Everyone knows that they can try to position around you or do other things. When you become the CEO of something, you are where all the answers have to come from, or when things bubble up you have to make the tough call, the final call on things. I had no real expectations when I left college of being the CEO or president of anything. All I wanted to be was in sales.
You pride yourself on having an anti-executive suite philosophy. How have you achieved this? I have really tried hard to create avenues of communication that don't necessarily circumvent middle management, but give people direct access to executive leadership. I think that is really important in a business to really understand what is happening on the front lines with people who are dealing daily with customers, partners and vendors.
There is an anonymous Web page where people can submit questions, and I respond to them. At the beginning of this year, I put in place [a system] where employees have the opportunity to schedule 15 minutes with me to pitch an idea. Another avenue is where I will have, every six to eight weeks, a roundtable discussion where I'll take eight to 10 employees out to lunch -- where I'll have the opportunity to discuss a couple of topics with them. I'll ask leading questions like: "If you were CEO for a day, what would you change, what would you start, stop, enhance?"
How did they answer? It runs the gamut from global strategy, to the way we market and sell the product, to what they think about the coffee.
What do they think about the coffee? They like it now. We had an internal taste test. I try not to spend a boatload of my strategic time focusing on coffee, but I do think it is OK for CEOs to hear these complaints and address them and move them forward mainly because I do care about my employees, and I want them to be happy.
You have a companywide staff meeting every Monday. Why did you decide to start that? It is a little bit of rah-rah, a little bit of education and letters and prizes every week [for employees who have made a difference]. I'm a big believer in having the positive reinforcement, to say: "Hey, you're doing the right stuff. You're of value and we really appreciate that." I try to take the opportunity to communicate that with letter or internal nominations. Just to call out some folks and say: "Hey, you went above and beyond or a customer thought you were great to work with." I think people appreciate that acknowledgement in front of their peers.

A tractor-trailer driver lost control this morning on Route 611 in Forks Township, struck what's left of the Mineral Springs Hotel and came to a stop at the entrance to Frutchey Hill Road.
The truck, which was carrying grain, ended up across Route 611, also known as North Delaware Drive, with the vehicle's front shutting Frutchey Hill.
No one was hurt in the one-vehicle crash, the Forks Township Fire Department said.
The road was closed just after 8 o'clock and remained shut at 9. The road reopened just before 10, according to scanner reports.
The Mineral Springs Hotel burned down in October 2013 in a suspected arson that led to a man's death. The front wall and other parts of the structure remain along the two-lane highway.
Express-Times photographer Bill Adams contributed to this report.

Poulsbo man pleads insanity to murder charge
POULSBO — A 56-year-old man who is charged with first-degree murder pleaded not guilty in Kitsap County Superior Court Monday, relying on insanity as his defense.
Casey Cutlip of Poulsbo was arrested Feb. 21 for allegedly shooting his friend in the head. He remains in Kitsap County Jail on $1 million bail.
"It's not that I think he's insane now, [the plea] is based on temporary insanity at the time of the crime," said Cutlip's defense attorney, Tina Robinson. She said the defense is based on an evaluation by a psychologist; the state has requested its own psychological evaluation of Cutlip.
Cutlip called 911 after he admittedly shot the victim, Darwin A. Dunker, 74, three times in the head in Dunker's apartment at Viking Crest Condominiums, 20097 Viking Crest Loop, Poulsbo.
At 9:53 p.m., sheriff's deputies were dispatched to State Highway 3 and Tytler Road for a report of an "armed 56-year-old man making threats to harm another man who was not in that location."
Poulsbo police began checking apartment complexes after the first 911 call. Ten minutes after the first 911 call, at 10:02 p.m., Cutlip called 911 and said he'd shot Dunker.
According to the prosecutor's report, Cutlip said Dunker made sexual advances toward Cutlip in the victim's apartment. Cutlip told the Poulsbo detective he repeatedly said no and "finally snapped, went home and got his .22 cal Beretta, returned to Dunker's apartment and shot him in the head."
Poulsbo Deputy Police Chief Wendy Davis said the two men were known to have been friends for several years.
"This was not a random situation, but it still shakes the community and we understand that," Davis said. "We're addressing concerns and addressing these situations as they come up."
Cutlip's trial is set for Aug. 14.

A Shippensburg man faces up to 2 years of confinement on charges related to assaulting a man and stealing his cellphone and cash on Christmas Eve.
Jordan K. Chambers, 29, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Cumberland County Court to charges of simple assault and theft by unlawful taking. He was sentenced by Judge Kevin A. Hess to 1 to 2 years in prison.
Chambers entered a house Dec. 24 on the 200 block of East King Street, wielding what was later determined to be an air pistol, and demanded money. Chambers and the victim struggled, and Chambers threatened to shoot him, according to charging documents filed by Shippensburg police.
Chambers fled and was caught later that night with some help from the Shippensburg University police and the state police, investigators said.
Chambers has 238 days of credit toward his sentence. Three counts of robbery were dismissed at the time of his plea, according to court documents.

MARQUETTE - A group of 35 people sat in silence during the Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees special meeting Tuesday afternoon, as no public comment was allowed.
Just after the meeting was brought to order, Trustee Gilbert Ziegler asked Board Chairman Brian Cloyd why public comment wasn't a part of the meeting.
"We're not required to (have public comment) and we want to move this as expeditiously as possible," Cloyd said. "We do have posted on our webpage the comments that were written in and we are requesting people to make comments at the July meeting."
Article Video
Under the Michigan Open Meetings Act, which dictates rules for the boards of all public bodies in the state, public comment must be allowed at all formal meetings of any public board.
Cathy Dehlin, general counsel for NMU, said because of a 1999 Michigan Supreme Court ruling in which Michigan State University was sued for a violation of the OMA, university boards are not always under the purview of that act.
"There is a provision in the Open Meetings Act that, in a public meeting, you need to have public comment. That's absolutely in the Open Meetings Act. However, the court has told us that due to the Michigan constitution, the Open Meetings Act does not directly apply to how the board conducts its day-to-day business," Dehlin said. "Instead we look to the constitution that says that decisions need to be made in an open, formal session, open to the public, which it was today."

Ziegler voices his concern over the speed at which NMU interim President David Haynes was appointed. (Journal photo by Matt Keiser).
Adamini points out what he perceived as potential conflicts of interest between Haynes' affiliation with Steelcase Inc., and his new position at the university. Haynes was a longtime lobbyist for NMU and Steelcase, the company for which the board's chairman, Brian Cloyd, is vice president of global communications. (Journal photo by Matt Keiser).
A motion was made by Trustee Stephen Adamini to allow faculty and administration present at the meeting to have one minute each to address the board.
The measure failed, with a 4-4 vote. Adamini, Ziegler, Trustee Rick Popp and Trustee H. Sook Wilkinson voted in favor of it.
Just after the vote was taken, the board recessed into closed session to consult with Dehlin.
Board Vice Chairman Jack LaSalle said the special meeting was held, in part, to alleviate confusion surrounding Haynes' appointment and specifically addressed Ziegler's concern on the lack of public comment.
"There's been a lot of confusion around what we did. That's why we're here, to lay it to rest," LaSalle said. "Everyone should understand, pursuant to the Open Meetings Act, this meeting of the Board of Trustees is not governed by the Open Meetings Act. And number two, the rules that govern this meeting, a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, have been in place a very long time and we did not change the rules, Mr. Ziegler, to not allow people to speak at special meetings of the board."
According to the board's bylaws, at least two weeks' notice is required for a person to be allowed to address the board. In a situation in which at least two weeks' notice cannot be given, it is up to the chairman of the board - after consulting with the university president - to decide whether to allow the comment.

About The Yankee Candle Company
The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. is the leading designer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of premium scented candles, based on sales, in the giftware industry. Yankee Candle Company was started in 1975 in South Hadley, Massachusetts when Michael Kittredge, originally from Holyoke, Massachusetts created his first scented candle from melted crayons, as a gift for his mother.Neighbors began expressing interest in buying his creations, and Kittredge began producing them in larger quantities. The company itself was founded with help from Donald MacIver and Susan Obremski, who were high school friends with Kittredge. MacIver helped fund the start-up business with earnings from his part-time job. Candle production grew considerably after Obremski's father devised a "heated room", which enabled cost-saving liquid wax deliveries at the first factory site in Holyoke. Obremski's invention of a turntable taper wheel allowed production to double, while at the same time decreasing the need for more labor hours.In 1975, she managed the first Yankee Candle Shop located where the Village Commons, South Hadley now stands.

Selena Gomez Enters Rehab: Hollywood's "Exhaustion" Epidemic
Pop superstar Selena Gomez is the latest Hollywood starlet to enter rehab.
The Come & Get It singer, 21, "voluntarily" entered Dawn at the Meadows – an Arizona facility for young people with addictions – in early January 2014.
But according to her rep, the famous ex of Justin Bieber is not struggling from addictions.
"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," a rep for Gomez tells PEOPLE.
And this isn't the first time Selena has received treatment. The singing sensation was hospitalized in June 2011 after suffering from severe headache and nausea. She later said she "was just very malnourished, so I was low on iron and exhausted."
Although I'm sure she could use some extra sleep, we can't help but notice the "exhaustion" epidemic in Hollywood.
Following the breakdown of her marriage to Ashton Kutcher, actress Demi Moore's rep released the following statement to TMZ:
"Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."
And the "exhaustion" excuse rages on in Tinseltown.
Pop superstar Britney Spears spent a month at a rehab facility, also due to "exhaustion." Everyone from Rihanna, to Lady Gaga to Amy Winehouse, to Eminem, to Lindsay Lohan, to Richie Sambora, to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, to Kirsten Dunst, to Whitney Houston have also used this explanation for entering rehab.
What's with all the rubbish rehab excuses?
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew star, Dr. Drew Pinsky, examines this go-to alibi of Hollywood's stars.
"One of my goals in choosing to participate in mass media is to help viewers and listeners wade through the nonsense that is fed to them and help them become more sophisticated consumers of media," Pinsky wrote. "As a physician one of the most transparent and troubling lies that I see spun from publicists and then distributed as legitimate news is when a young public figure becomes ill. What we hear from the spin doctors is that the young client is suffering from "exhaustion" and/or "dehydration."
The good doc goes on to plead for truth and transparency from the media.
"Now, I am not suggesting that merely because someone is a public figure he or she is not entitled to confidentiality as it pertains to health care," he continued. "Of course they are entitled to that, but please, stop lying to us!
Just report that the individual is under doctor's care and will be expected to return to work soon. Stop with the ridiculous spin," he added. "The public is too smart for this and deserves better. Young people run marathons, play competitive and extreme sports. They rarely need medical attention and when they do it is for very specific definable medical reasons. There simply is no such diagnostic category as exhaustion."
Pinsky goes on to say that healthy individuals cannot be admitting for treatment simply for being tired.
"Hospitals have very stringent admitting criteria that are reviewed by governmental and private agencies," he wrote. "This assures that hospitals maintain a certain standard of care. This is required for hospitals to maintain their licensure and standing. So they cannot admit a young healthy individual for being tired! Psychiatric hospitals are held to the same standards. There must be some identified medical diagnosis that meets criteria to need hospitalization."
Pinsky goes on to say that the "exhaustion" excuse is "a lie."
"So when you hear or read that someone has been hospitalized for exhaustion or dehydration immediately read that as a lie," he shared. "If this is a young person under say 30 years of age most of these fabrications are covering for addiction. After 30 it can be addiction or alcoholism but many times this is also a cover for a Psychiatric illness."
But the doctor says we can learn from these phony headlines.
"Bottom line is that celebrities are no different from the rest of us. They suffer the very same psychiatric and medical problems that afflict us all," he shared. "Paying attention to the reality of the lives that we all watch play out in public has the potential to teach us. Consuming media in a sophisticated manner can provide opportunities to teach our children by looking at the example of others. Celebrity stories can also be cautionary tales from which each of us can learn more medical and psychiatric realities of the human experience."
What do you think? Do you believe the "exhaustion" headlines? Or should Tinseltown come clean?

New Summer Toys
The Toy Guy Chris Byrne shares some ideas for cool summer-time toys sure to entertain the kids.
You wouldn't think that there was much difference between bubble solutions, would you? It's just soap and water. So you think. Gazillion Bubbles actually is a better solution. We don't know how they do it, but the bubbles last longer, float higher, and, here's the most important part, are easier for even little kids to get great results with. Plus, it's non-staining. Yes, the solution is a little pricier, but it's worth it. That said, unless you're blowing a pretty bubble or two, these are outdoor toys. This is one of our favorites for this year. Pour the solution into the tray of the launch pad, place the rocket and the launcher, and... STOMP! The rocket goes shooting up into the air leaving a trail of bubbles behind it. $16.99; For ages 6 and up.

One killed in Barbour County accident
Crucial tilts on tap for Friday
Philip Barbour and Tucker County's playoff hopes could rest on the outcome of this Friday's games.
The Colts (6-3) will conclude the regular season with a Big 10 Conference matchup at East Fairmont. Philip Barbour is 14th in this week's SSAC ratings released on Tuesday.
The Colts need a victory to stay among the top 16 in Class AA, especially since it will be the final regular-season contest for them. Ravenswood, Robert C. Byrd and Lincoln, three teams just below Philip Barbour in the ratings, still have one game remaining after this week.
Lincoln also defeated the Colts earlier this season.
For the 5-3 Mountain Lions, wins in their final two games should secure a spot in the Class A field.
Tucker County finishes with home games against Class AA foe Petersburg on Friday, and next week against Notre Dame, which is ranked 10th in Class A.
Lewis County also faces a must-win situation if the Minutemen are to return to the Class AAA playoffs. Lewis County will entertain Liberty this Friday before traveling to No. 3 Point Pleasant next Saturday.
Moorefield, meanwhile, is looking to earn a homefield advantage in the playoffs. The fifth-rated Yellow Jackets (7-1) close the season with home games against Pendleton County and Tygarts Valley.
East Hardy (6-2) also is on the bubble in Class A. The Cougars are rated 14th and close the regular season with games at Clear Spring, Md., and Petersburg.
Huntington remained No. 1 in Class AAA in this week's ratings, followed by Martinsburg, Point Pleasant, Capital and George Washington.
Bluefield took over the top spot in Class AA, just ahead of Wayne and Bridgeport, while Madonna is No. 1 in Class A.
The state playoffs will begin Nov. 15.

Police say a worker at a North Attleborough Wal-Mart store stole more than $2,000 from a cash register, but then put it back the next day.
Christopher Pelletier, of Cumberland, R.I., pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Attleboro District Court to larceny of property worth more than $250.

He put the money back in the register when he returned to work Tuesday.
He was freed on personal recognizance. He could not be reached.

Fewer WA teens use alcohol and tobacco; depression is up
The state Department of Health (DOH) released the results of its statewide Healthy Youth Survey recently, finding that Washington teens are using tobacco and alcohol at lower rates than in previous years — but, conversely, they are feeling more depressed and suicidal.
The Healthy Youth Survey is administered by the DOH every two years to students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 in more than 1,000 public schools across the state.
For the most recent round of surveys, more than 200,000 students took the survey, according to the DOH. All surveys were taken voluntarily and anonymously.
The results of the survey found that cigarette smoking is down in all grades. According to the survey results, about 10 percent of 10th-graders self-reported having smoked a cigarette within the past 30 days of the time they took the survey. The DOH notes that's a 3 percent decrease from 2010, and a 15 percent decrease since 1999.
The DOH notes that nearly as many youth consumed tobacco using a hookah pipe as cigarettes, and about 7 percent indicated they had smoked a cigar in the last month.
"The physical and emotional health of our youth is crucial to their success in school, in work, in personal relationships, and in their communities," said Department of Social and Health Services Secretary Kevin W. Quigley. "It's good to celebrate that fewer teens are using alcohol and tobacco, but it's clear many teens need more support from the adults in their lives and from friends to make healthy choices and cope with challenges."
Outgoing Secretary of Health Mary Selecky said the drop in smoking rates is a positive outcome from the many anti-smoking initiatives and programs instituted by the state over the past decade or so.
"We're certainly encouraged to see that fewer kids are smoking cigarettes," Selecky said. "In fact, smoking rates are half what they were a decade ago. I'm proud of our tobacco prevention and control work. It has truly made a difference in the health of Washington kids. Still, we're seeing many teens use other types of tobacco, and using multiple substances, so there's more work to do."
As far as alcohol consumption goes, survey results showed that 12 percent of 8th-graders, 23 percent of 10th-graders, and 36 percent of 12th-graders had used alcohol in the month prior to the time they took the survey. The DOH notes that there has been a marked increase in marijuana use among 10th- and 12th-graders as well, with that number being almost double of students who smoke cigarettes.
"I'm pleased that underage drinking is trending downward," said Liquor Control Board Chair Sharon Foster. "However, this past year's privatization of liquor has more than quadrupled the number of outlets selling spirits. With the potential for increased youth access, it's more important than ever for kids to talk to their parents about alcohol."
One of the most startling revelations of the survey was that about 8 percent of 8th- and 10th-graders admitted to attempting suicide sometime in the past year. More than 100,000 students between ages 12-17, about one in every six students who participated in the survey, had "seriously considered suicide."
According to the DOH, more than one in four teens responded that they had felt "so sad or hopeless for two weeks in a row that they stopped doing usual activities." 26 percent of 8th-graders reported this, 31 percent of 10th-graders, and 30 percent in 12th grade.
Even with those numbers, the DOH reports that students showed an increase in their "commitment to school," with fewer skipping school in the most recent survey.
