Today, March 2nd, 2010, it reached 46 F (7 C) and after a brief mild spell, some of the glacier-like deep crust of icy snow receded, beginning to reveal bare ground and overwintered plants. I am always interested in testing claims that plants are evergreen and are able to withstand a tough New England winter. I snapped a few photos of plants I have grown for at least several years. I'll start out with some Epimedium species.
1. Epimedium wushanense "Spiny-leaved form" - with lustrous spiny leaves, Nov. 18, 2009.
2. Epimedium wushanense "Spiny-leaved form" - came through like many "eppies", a bit tatty, but respectable. On the many evergreen Epimediums species, I make a judgement each spring whether to shear off all old foliage, or just tidy up a bit and snip away and of the dead or winter-burned leaves.
3. Epimedium wushanense "Spiny-leaved form" - beautiful flowers yet to come, photo from March 2009.
4. Epimedium lishichenii - bold, shiny, rugose, deeply veined leaves, Nov. 18, 2009.
5. Epimedium lishichenii - again looking a bit tatty today, but not bad. Most leaves will be left on.
6. Epimedium lishichenii - in April-May, fresh lime-green rugose growth above old foliage, large yellow spidery flowers.
7. Epimedium pubigerum - taken today, the best looking and most winter tolerant of the epimediums, the foliage still in very good form.
8. Epimedium pubigerum - flowering on April 15th 2009 (tax day), in this photo one gets the 3-tier effect, with the older darker leaves at the base, a solid foundation for the new growth of lighter fresh green red-tinged foliage, topped with dainty heuchera-like sprays of small white flowers.
9. Epimedium pubigerum - like most "eppies", there is an ornamental second flush of foliage soon after flowering, with light color-suffused foliage overtopping the earlier, now darker green foliage.

- Title
- 'I2-doping' of 1,4-polydienes
- Author(s)
- Dai, Liming; Mau, Albert W. H.; Griesser, Hans J.; Winkler, David A.; Spurling, Thomas H.; Hong, Xiaoyin; Yang, Yongyuan; White, John W.
- Abstract
- The discovery, in 1988, that 'iodine-doped' rubber can conduct electricity attracted a great deal of interest [1,2]. However, it also generated some fundamental questions [2]: First, what is the mechanism from which the conductivity of 'I2-doped' rubbers arises? Second, why does cis-1,4-polybutadiene not become electrically conductive by 'I2-doping', but its trans-counterpart does? Third, what is the effect of 'I2-doping' and conductivity in the rubber component on rubber-containing conducting composites and/or copolymers? We have previously demonstrated that 'I2-doping' of cis-1,4-polyisoprene produces conjugated sequences of unsaturated double bonds in the polymer backbone, which confer conductivity. Recently, we have found that 'I2-doping' of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, unlike the trans-isomer, does not lead to the formation of conjugated sequences at room temperature - a finding which leads to the formation of conducting patterns through patterned photoisomerization of cis-1,4-polybutadiene films followed by 'I2-doping'. We have also observed, for the first time, the occurrence of 'I2-doping' of the polyisoprene component in polyisoprene-polyacetylene copolymers.

Organizations of all sizes are looking for ways to transform their business. They need effective ways to communicate and work with their customers. Along with the IT capabilities to minimize maintenance overhead, they're seeking solutions to protect their company's data and be compliant. All this while finding ways to drive business in the right direction.
Complete Business Productivity
Office 365 helps you realize this broad vision of business productivity. It includes a full set of rich productivity services and advanced enterprise services in the cloud, along with the desktop version of Office in some of the plans. Office 365 provides email and instant messaging capabilities to help you communicate effectively with your co-workers, customers, and partners. You can easily collaborate on projects using online meetings and web conferencing while minimizing travel and meeting costs.
Archiving, eDiscovery, and document management capabilities in Office 365 help meet compliance needs for your business. Data loss prevention capabilities help you enforce policies within email. Powerful business intelligence (BI) tools assist you in making sound business decisions. You can use Microsoft Office tools to get work done every day. What's more, you can use Office Web Apps to work across multiple devices via a browser without losing the rich formatting of your documents.
Leading technology research company Gartner Inc. has recognized Microsoft based on its evaluation of Office 365 and placed it as a "leader" in eight of the firm's 2012 Magic Quadrant reports. In addition, it has rated Microsoft a "strong positive" in two of its market scope reports.
We believe no other vendor appears across so many industry evaluations in the area of business productivity. Vendors either include basic capabilities such as email or a limited set of business productivity capabilities. The limited capabilities in competitive offerings reflect their narrow approach to business productivity. In some cases, customers may need to either rely upon inadequate consumer services or third party apps to fulfill their business needs. Customers are realizing the limitations of such competitive offerings and coming to Office 365 where they benefit from complete productivity as they move an increasing number of workloads to the cloud. The vision of complete business productivity is coming to life for these customers daily.
"We wanted to move to a cloud technology to unify communications across the enterprise and make it easier for employees to connect" –Jonathan Levine, Executive Officer & Vice Executive Director, Rakuten
Value of Office 365
We know that you do your homework when selecting software and services to meet your business needs, so we recently went through a similar process for ourselves to understand the value of Office 365 versus other enterprise-class vendors in the productivity space. We reached out to customers to find out just how well we stack up against the other market leaders in these key areas that matter to you. Here's how we conducted the analysis:
- We know customers who are looking for an enterprise-class solution seek leading vendors to fulfill their needs – everybody wants a solution they can trust and nobody wants a second class solution. For our research, we focused on the enterprise-class vendors to ensure we were comparing vendors that have established their ability to meet enterprise customer needs.
- For most areas of business productivity, licensing was the biggest cost incurred by customers. We compared licensing costs of other competitive services to Office 365 enterprise plan E3 to make sure we were including the broadest set of needs of customers.
- To round out the analysis, we factored in other costs such as migration, maintenance, and training. For example, we know customers moving from an on-premises infrastructure will incur migration costs. Customers with strict compliance requirements will likely incur data storage costs, which, for the sake of simplicity, we assumed as part of their migration costs. Other vendors charge on-going maintenance costs. Depending on their needs, customers may have to budget for training costs of either end users or IT or both.
Once we zeroed in on market leading services and capabilities, what we found is that Office 365 costs less than many enterprise-class services! Let me give you some examples.
Our discussions with customers uncovered that customers typically pay up to $24/user/month for web conferencing services offered by other leading vendors. The pricing for the other vendors was further validated through independent sources on the web. Lync Online, on the other hand, includes market leading capabilities for web conferencing and IM and presence capabilities for only $6/user/month.
In addition to robust document management and enterprise content management capabilities, SharePoint Online provides enterprise social capabilities for only $7/user/month. Other enterprise-class vendors offering enterprise social capabilities typically charge $6-$12/user/month. Customers using Yammer with Office 365 rave about how it has improved social collaboration within their organizations.
"Yammer will help our people work more efficiently than ever and focus on delivering superior value to other customers. Other critical capabilities included unified communications via Lync and cloud based protected storage via SkyDrive Pro"–Adrial Steel, Director, Telefonica
No other enterprise-class vendor provides the broad set of business productivity services that Office 365 does. Choosing a different primary solution means supplementing that solution with additional services to fill the gaps. This means stitching together multiple technologies that inherently introduce both complexity and multiple user and administrative experiences. By contrast, customers who purchase Office 365 get the most complete solution while eliminating the complexity of multiple vendors. Customers of all sizes are transforming their business using Office 365 every day.
"The traditional style of communication through email messages and phone calls is not enough anymore. Employees want the ability to chat and work together instantly from their PCs, and they want do this from virtually anywhere. Lync Online is the first unified communications solution for the company, and we believe the real-time communications is a huge win for our business. We need to support flexible work options for our employees to work at home or outside the office. We believe capabilities in Office 365, including Office Professional Plus, will be critical to this effort." –Michael Busch, Director of Technology, Patagonia
What's more, the familiarity of Office tools minimizes training costs for onboarding to a cloud service. With 24/7 technical support and the added benefits of a financially backed 99.9% uptime guarantee, robust data privacy and security features and transparency, customers can bet their business in the cloud by choosing Office 365.
Why compromise? Get the most value by choosing the enterprise-class capabilities of Office 365 for your business today!

He will always nurse and never refuses but it seems more as though I am offereing and then he "remembers" oh wait I want to do that. We are only nursing 2-3 times during the week and 3-4 times on the weekend. I am just not sure what self weaning looks like and wondering should I continue to offer? i personally don't see the harm but comments have been made that he wouldn't know the difference and I am the one keeping the relationship going...BTW I know that's not true because when he is upset and I sit down with him, he will push himself into our nursing position and get happy and excited... What does self weaning look like?

curry has 30+, frye has 20+, marbury has 15+ and 8+ asts. they cant stop those guys, issue if we can play some d.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
If the Knicks can't establish a consistent defense and stop turning the ball over so much, the Knicks don't have a chance. I wish there was a way to get rid of the blockage of underachieving PF's we have.
One outta three ain't bad.
When any of those old ***** get into the game i want to smash my freaking TV. Malik Rose, Mo Taylor, and JJ are so terrible its tough to watch. The best part of it all is that they think they contribute so much. Rose tries posting people up and gets *****ed on. I hate those guys and I wish we could get rid of them, i dont care if we get anything back at all.
id take garbage over those guys malik rose always with his stupid spin move which he ends up turning the ball over every time he gets the ball and taylor just sucks and jerome james is a fat piece of sh**
is the game on TV in NY ? Im flying in to Buffalo and wanted to catch the game somewhere.
Buffalo Bills
San Francisco Giants
NY Knicks
If the knicks can't win against atlanta then it's over!!!
Poster formerly known as stephonmarburyny
The players gave up on Larry.
His mind games are taken a serious effect on the insecure players we have here at NY.
The bashing of players through the media has created an air of mistrust.
Players are timid and afraid to play resulting in turnovers and a lack of cohesiveness...
Expect another loss in ATL.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
why the **** are we paying brown 10m bucks... herb was doing as good as a job... maybe better.... bring back herb...
I don't think it's a matter of firing Brown.
But the problem does lie within him tho.
Because of Larry's fixation with playing the right way, and being in the media capital of the world - he is so arrogant that he will not allow find a compromise with the team on how to play, because he knows when that happens - he'll be all over the NY news about "his playing the right way" mantra was a bunch of bull.
One of LB's quotes that really intrigued me was that he will maximize a player's strengths and limit their weaknesses - so far it seems that he has minimized the knicks strengths just to fit his own mold and excerbated their weaknesses by increasing their indecisiveness and timid play.
Has anyone looked at the lineup that we have?
Crawford and Marbury - these two guys can break down any defense off the dribble
This is a knick strength - USE IT LARRY
Frye is an amazing shooter - Marbury is the master at running pick and rolls - This is a knick strength - USE THIS TOO
Q and Crawford are good 3pt shooters - let them shoot some more open 3's instead of making it seem like they shouldn't....Teams know this and play more zone defense. The only way to break that zone, is too shoot them out.
Curry is a nice big man but stop trying to force the action by feeding it down low ALL the time - let him get his points in the flow of the offense.
Don't get me wrong Larry is a master at coaching, but if you are not willing to bend your own rules for the greater good, then you might as well give up on the knicks.
He needs to realize that the knicks are a young team.
He's got to understand that the knick players have to crawl before then can walk
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Tomight's prediction: Hawks 568 - Knicks 64
Hawks has just beaten the Spurs and the cavs last week...not a good news...
looks as if we are getting beaten from the three point line again. giving up too many threes to jj

Betty Babcock, who died Nov. 16 (at age 94), will be fondly remembered for her warm personality, skill in the TV and writing professions and remarkable sense of humor.
Hundreds of people know that. However, I have an important personal addition that helps cherish my knowing her.
She was a family friend, but in 1998 when my wife, Fran, needed a lift, Betty, with her warm personality and real interest in people, came forward. The combination of their talking extensively about serious subjects and sharing many lighter moments was beautiful to behold. Betty's personality was just the right formula to help my wife cope with her illness. Betty visited at least once a week from 1998 until Fran's death March 29, 2012.
Betty's service in the Woodstock community included being as a member of the Woodstock District 200 board, giving strong support to the Woodstock Fine Arts Association's Creative Living Series (which she helped start), and spearheading changes in Bull Valley that led to major conservation preservation in that area.
Before Betty came to Woodstock, she enjoyed a successful career with the National Broadcasting Company in radio programming. When she graduated from Vassar in 1940, she took a job in New York, and then returned to Chicago to write scripts for radio plays for WLS. Betty and her husband, Richard, were married in 1943. They acquired 30 acres of woods and streams in Bull Valley in 1949.
Betty's husband died in 1993. She is survived by her brother, Vaughn of California; and six children, Becky Walkington of Bull Valley, Richard Jr. of Chicago, Elizabeth White, Catherine Magruder and David, all of California, and John of Crystal Lake. Betty had 16 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

After 32 years in the coroner's office – eight years as chief deputy coroner and 24 years as coroner – Marlene Lantz retires Friday. Marlene said the work has been difficult but rewarding.
Dr. Anne Majewski, a physician who has practiced as an obstetrician-gynecologist but more recently has worked in medical consulting, assumes the office Dec. 1.
Marlene obtained her license as a mortician in 1970. She worked as a morgue assistant at Saint Joseph and Sherman hospitals in Elgin in 1970s. In 1980, the McHenry County coroner, Al Querhammer, hired Marlene as his chief deputy coroner. After Querhammer retired in 1988, Marlene was elected McHenry County coroner.
Recalling her duties as coroner, Marlene said, "The most difficult part of the job is going to a family's home to personally tell them of a death. I feel fortunate and privileged to share these moments of sadness with families in their time of need."
• Don Peasley has been editor, columnist and historian in McHenry County since October 1947. He began his association with Shaw Publications in 1950.

text: Mother and Father want to get into ski touring. Not the agro, line-bagging, freeride touring that is exploding here in the states, but the more traditional walk-up-and-enjoy-low-angle-swish-turns touring. Many new tech bindings are built to support powerful skiers on steep, exposed terrain. My parents don't need that muscle. The Dynafit Radical Speed shares the same platform of Dynafit's impressive new freeride touring Radical FT but is toned back with a lower release value rating, and less bells and whistles. Plus, I'll save $200 by going with the less aggressive set up. The Speed Radical is one of the most affordable tech bindings out there with all the performance most of us will ever need.-Kevin Luby, Assistant Editor [$399; dynafit.com]

I'm also worried that my milk supply will decrease. He isn't interested in my food yet. Does not sit without support. The Dr. said if I don't introduce solids to him now it will be a problem later. My goal if he's willing is a year +. Any suggestions? Do I feed him 3 times a day, or once ...I don't know?

We love Mike! Love him so much we bought one of his pieces (not pictured) and we love having it in our home, though I look forward to the day when my grandchildren can sell it for millions :D
High school indeed. Yeesh. I know 90% of art is about marketing but this is pushing it.
Lets cut the bullshit, this is garbage. If I saw this stuff in a pile at a thrift store, I wouldnt buy it for $1. Who is this guy and why do we care? Slow news day?
so these are awful.. like really bad high school paintings.. Why does Queerty continue to post terrible "artists" in music and art that are terrible
@ThePinkSuperhero: lol good luck with that!
To use this artist's appearance as a headline, as if that should have anything to do with my interest in reading this article and/or viewing his work, is insulting to both him and me. Shame on you, Queerty. Time to reconsider your ethics.
I met this guy in school like 8 yrs ago and he's harmless — seemed sweet. and ya kinda cute with a 6 pack. i'd probably write an article about his collages, regardless of what they looked like, in hopes of getting laid, too. but the poor guy is going to get destroyed in these comments. not sure he's getting any favors out of this one.
It must be great to produce nothing, create nothing, never put out anything into the world except judgment on the blood, sweat and tears of others. There really aren't enough critics in the world. So thankful you guys are here to rip everyone in our own community to shreds. If you don't like the work, why not just scroll on? Don't you think it's probably hard enough to be an gay artist without members of your own community scrambling to tell you how worthless you are? Somebody gave the guy an art show. I'm sure that happens all the time for you and whatever it is you produce, besides digital bile.
Bunch of art lovers on Queerty today, I see….Dont like the guys work? Go out and produce something better…and see if you can find a Metro station toilet stall who will display YOUR "work" for nearly 5 months straight. And before you comedians chime in…no, the grafitti on the walls doesn't count as "art".
Best of luck, Michael. Every artist starts somewhere, you've taken that step. Kudos!
Your arguments really don't hold water. First, we don't need your permission to comment on a piece of art, least of all one that is displayed so prominently in such a public space. Second, having your work in a museum for any amount of time has no bearing on the quality of the work.
I am unashamed to admit that I think most modern art that I've seen, especially many of the pieces hanging in our most prestigious temples of high art (MOMA, LACMA, Tate Modern, and so forth), is cultural refuse that, if placed on a trash heap, would be indistinguishable from the garbage beneath it to those not indoctrinated in the ways of "high art." I refuse to be browbeaten by pseudo-intellectuals and concept artists who don't seem to think that aesthetics matter. Sorry, but I value beauty and technique. There is enough ugliness in the world that I don't intend to drop a twenty to see it framed on a wall.
Though I'm a musician by training, I love all the arts for their singular ability to uplift me and give me hope that, despite the drudgery, sadness, and abject suffering in the world, there is still so much beauty and so much good. In short, it makes life bearable in that it allows us to transcend our own lived world, even if but for a brief moment. That is what art is to me. It is not kitsch, shtick, a gimmick, or any nonsense concept that tells me I'm a philistine for not thinking a Campbell's Soup Can is transcendentally meaningful.
@halfahomo: I should have added more emphatically: I am an art lover, and it is exactly and precisely because art, specifically music, is so central to my life that I felt compelled to respond.
Maybe the artist is a nice guy – he sure is cute. But frankly, this exhibition is an insult to at least some people who know what it means to be an artist and the kind of sacrifice it takes to have even a foundation for technique.
Seen this a lot and done better…..very pedestrian…
Are and we are again faced with that agless quote…'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'

Campus Alerts
A Pennsylvania university has installed digital signage that allows departments to distribute custom content to nearby screens. West Chester University (WCU) has also integrated its emergency alert and campus text notification systems into the network's software platform, allowing alerts to override content on all screens in case of emergencies. The network currently includes 22 displays in 13 campus locations, and the project continues to expand.
Working with audiovisual system integrator Visual Sound to design and build the network, the university chose Scala Content Manager as its digital signage platform.
"After extensive review and testing, Scala software was the most suitable option for what we were looking for. It integrated well with our systems, and it was the most user friendly," said Teresa Hudson, tech fee support specialist.
The university allows student clubs, faculty members, and departments to run digital displays free on the network by filling out an online form. According to Web site instructions, the "ad" will be displayed for 13 seconds on dates specified by group or individual.
Scala's software is also in use at Utah Valley University in Orem and the University of Florida in Gainesville, among other institutions.

I'm looking for specific measurements and/or statistics about how much energy pumps generate. Hoping someone here can help!
I know that 20 percent of the world's energy is generated from pumps that heat, cool, or move water. What I want to know is what is the measurement of the total energy that this 20 percent comes from? What unit of measurement do I use to analyze this?
Thank you for your help!

He's had some horrible games here and there but I'm not really surprised with the lineup shuffling as well as his role, one game he's playing second to Melo and next game he's asked to be the main man, and when STAT comes back he'll probably have some role shifts again.
I don't doubt that Felton has the quality to win us a playoff series playing point for us. He's still learning.

Their homegrown vegetables and herbs sold out in two hours last week. They're the newest vendors at the Ala Moana Farmers' Market. And they're only in the second grade.
Business is brisk here at the Ala Moana Farmers' Market. Just ask the newest, and youngest, vendors. Seven-year-old Leo Campagna is CEO of The Littlest Co-Op, a hui of keiki farmers who are taking the business into their own hands. Literally.
He and his sister, Emma, 5, do their own research, choose their plants, grow their products and set their prices and share their products at the market, splitting the profits with the other kid farmers.
Leo's parents said he came up with the idea for the market stand because he loves to grow things.
"We're also doing this business so we can earn more money for more things to buy instead of just using my mom's money," said Leo.
Ala Moana Farmers' Market co-owner Annie Suite said Leo came to her with his proposal a few months ago.
"Just like any other vendor we said, 'Well, this is what we have to do.' He took avid notes and he went away and he came back with his GE license and everything and this whole plan," said Suite.
The young farmers are learning not only about plants and math, they're learning the value of hard work.
"We sold out in two and a half hours and we're like, 'Well, here's your money' and they're like, 'I can spend this on whatever I want?,'" said Carl Campagna, Leo's father. "Or save it, it's up to you," he told them. "Immediately, they're like, 'I see what's happening!'"
To become a member of The Littlest Co-Op is simple. Number one, you have to be a kid. Number two, you have to have seeds.
"The hardest part is there's a long speech you have to say to get them to want to join," said Leo.
They're set up at the Ala Moana Farmers' Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.
For more information on membership, find them on Facebook at The Littlest Co-Op.

The problem is that warming causes changes that act to accelerate or slow the warming.warms the Earth and the Earth sends some of that warmth back out into space. "It literally comes down to mathematics," says Peter Gleckler, a research scientist with the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison at Livermore National Laboratory, and the basic equations are identical from one model to another. "Global climate models," he says, echoing Dixon, "are designed to deal with large-scale flow of the atmosphere, and they do very well with that."
'It's not a science for which everything is known, by definition,' says one expert.modeling centers go about it in different ways, which, unsurprisingly, leads to varying results. "It's not a science for which everything is known, by definition," says Gleckler. "Many groups around the world are pursuing their own research pathways to develop improved models." If the past is any guide, modelers will be able to abandon parameterizations one by one, replacing them with mathematical representations of real physical processes.
Many decisions about how to adapt to climate change can't wait for better climate models.atmosphere and oceans at this very moment, then project it forward. It's not useful for our day-to-day lives to know that September has this average high or that average low; we want to know what the actual temperature will be tomorrow, and the day after, and next week. Because the atmosphere is chaotic, anything less than perfect knowledge of today's conditions (which is impossible, given that observations are always imperfect) will make the forecast useless after about two weeks.

- 'Deep-loss' farm bill policy proposal pushed
- A new environment
- Dissent
- Farm bill hearings begin in Congress.
- American Farm Bureau Federation backs "deep loss" program in new farm bill.
- Farm Bureaus in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi dissent.
With weighty budget constraints and fractious election year politics, writing a new farm bill in 2012 was never going to be easy. Congressional agriculture committees have already begun a series of hearings on the farm bill – with the Senate committee vowing to have a bill prepared sometime this spring -- and commodity and farm organizations have offered up farm program proposals in anticipation of the legislation.
On Tuesday afternoon, Bob Stallman, America Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) president held a press conference prior to testifying at the Senate Agriculture Committee's Thursday hearing on risk management. Stallman pushed the AFBF's "deep loss" policy proposal that was passed in January at the federation's annual meeting.
However, it turns out three state Farm Bureaus -- all in Mid-South – have dissented, or begun the formal dissenting process, related to the deep loss proposal. The main reasons are not novel to the region: agriculture leaders in the tri-state region of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi say that crops grown such as rice and cotton – along with an abundance of irrigated acreage – present a special set of needs and circumstances not pertinent to the rest of the country.
"We've been working … on a proposal called the 'deep loss' program," said Stallman. "In essence, it's a way of flipping the government's role in terms of the safety net for agriculture. The government would take zero to 75 percent of the risk from producers based on area-wide losses that could occur. In other words, it is a revenue risk-management program using five-year average across an area (either a county or crop-reporting district).
"The revenue from that – if there is a payment -- would be used to offset any premium or indemnity payment under an existing crop insurance policy. (That would) automatically compensate the insurance companies for the fact that the risk is being taken by the government and any payment they put out would be offset by what would be provided by the 'deep loss' program.
"It probably sounds more complicated than it really is. It really isn't that complex is one reason it has applicability across all program crops, all fruits and vegetables – frankly, for any crop for which there's a crop insurance policy."

Grant County agencies find 400 pounds of marijuana
Two men were arrested and 400 lbs. of Marijuana seized as the result of a month-long investigation by Grant County's Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team.
Grant County deputies said that on Nov. 2, INET detectives were conducting surveillance on a home on the 14000 block of Third Street Northeast in Moses Lake. The detectives saw two men leave the home in a car. Moses Lake Police stopped that car, smelled marijuana, and searched the car. They found a large amount of marijuana packaged for sale.
Carlos Ali Cera, 18, of Royal City and Juan Carlos Cortez Barajas, 20, of Quincy were arrested.
Grant County deputies said they searched the home on Third Street and INET detectives found more than 400 pounds of marijuana, including 19 mature plants. The plants were found inside a plywood grow, which is a marijuana growing operation hidden by sheets of plywood. Detectives also found two sheds on the property dedicated to drying and processing marijuana for sale.
INET detectives said they also seized more than $3,000 cash.

My toe is getting better thank goodness. I've been soaking it twice a day in warm water and epsom salts plus putting prescription strength antibiotic cream on it 3 times per day and then the 500mg of Clarithromycin (for the babesia).
Now I just have to get the cyst that is developing on the base of my toe treated once the staph infection clears up.
I received a reply on my blog from someone who has recovered from this. It was so great to read about someone actually recovering from this. It's definitely a battle.
I'm having some improvements with my current treatment:
Mepron 5ml twice a day
500mg Clarithromycin twice a day
Perque B12
Intrinsi B12/Folate 1/4 tab
Folapro 1/4 tab
General Vitamin Neurological Health Formula 1/4 tab
Phosphatidyl Serine Complex
Whey Protein Shake with rice milk, acetyl-l-carnitine, lots of fiber, and n-a-c for liver support.
I've had to stop all other supplements because they can interfere with Mepron.
I was having some kind of bad liver pain for a few days. In doing some reading I found out it could be die off, gallbladder, or liver pain from babesia as babesia can affect the liver. I had similar pain last year when I first started getting sick. The pain seems to have gone thank goodness.
I have to take Mepron with over 20grams of fat. Cod liver oil has about 15 grams per tablespoon so I've been taking it with cod liver oil with a cranberry or orange juice chaser. It's a dreadful combination. I tried p-nut butter but my mouth gets too dry.
I got an email from my sister that they found out that my dad's prostate cancer has spread to his bladder, at the very least. He'll see a bunch of doctor's next week once they arrive in Utah. He went for almost 2 years with being incorrectly diagnosed and is now suffering some pretty awful symptoms right now because of it. My heart goes out to him. I stopped in the church down the street and said some prayers for him.
I'm trying to find ways to focus on other things aside from the bad stuff going on. I'm not feeling plagued be the dizziness so I'm able to do a little more aside from lying on the couch.

My name is Kevin J. Keller – wait for it, here comes that cliché – and I have some big shoes to fill as the sports editor here at the Bee-Picayune.
It is my intention to make sure I live up to the legacy left by Bruce Harper.
Beeville is my third stop in the journalism field, following the Roswell Daily Record in Roswell, New Mexico, and The Press-News in Minerva, Ohio.
I started as a part-time sports reporter at The Press-News shortly after graduating from a technical school near Cleveland, Ohio, for radio and television broadcast technique.
In 2009, I accepted a sports reporting position at the Roswell Daily Record. After four months on the job as a sports reporter, I took over as the sports editor.
I accepted the sports editor position in Beeville on May 9 and began my official tenure here on July 7.
Personally, I'm an avid golfer. I'm lingering at around a 5 handicap at the moment.
My career low round is 70 on a par-72 course. I am still seeking my first career hole-in-one, but I do have two career double eagles.
I also enjoy fishing, which is one of the major reasons why the position in Beeville was so enticing. I am thoroughly looking forward to my first fishing adventures in this area.
That's the long and short of it when it comes to my past. I don't want to keep boring you with mundane details.
Instead, I'll just move on to telling you what you can expect with me as the sports editor.
My philosophy is to provide a hyper-local section that highlights local student-athletes.
And please take notice of how I phrased that – student-athletes.
These players are, first and foremost, students, and I respect that fact. I don't believe in unnecessarily criticizing student-athletes, and that is something I can guarantee that I won't do during my time here.
I also believe in an open-door policy when it comes to meeting with members of the community.
I welcome and encourage feedback from readers, parents and coaches.
My door at the Bee-Picayune office is always open, so feel free to stop in if you so desire.
Phone calls and emails are also encouraged.
The phone number here at the Bee-Picayune is 361-343-5223, and the email address is email@example.com.
I look forward to covering athletics here in Bee County, and I very much look forward to becoming a part of this great community.
The hospitality extended me thus far has been fantastic. I'm excited about the prospects of working and living here.
I just hope that I can reach the bar set by Bruce Harper during his tenure.

RSBS Presents: Drama!!!
No longer exclusively tethered to the stage, the screen or the page, there is no doubt that life is full of drama — the sort that you weren't ready for, the kind you embrace, even the type that makes you ill.
Nonuniform in appearance and uninterested in who or what it affects, drama can be as simple as that anxious feeling you get right before a big presentation or as complex as the collective mood among you and your fellow drivers during your morning commute.
Drama is everywhere. It infects everything. We love it. We hate it. We need it.
Not convinced?
Take a look for yourself…
Ines Sainz and Her… Assets
Were members of the New York Jets out of line in their cat-calling towards Mexican reporter, Ines Sainz? Was Ms. Sainz perhaps inappropriately dressed for an NFL locker room? Is there more to this story that none of us knows about? Yes, yes, and yes? Probably… right? I dunno. Who cares? What is important is that a) we now know who Ines Sainz is and that she's more than available via Google image search b) Jets fans have more to talk about than just how fat Rex Ryan is and c) I have another reason to post a B-side pic of someone not named Erin Andrews. Thank you, drama!
The AL East: Yankees – Rays Showdown
If this most recent series is any indication of what sort of playoff bliss we may be in for, well, paint me blue and call me "cubbie" 'cuz I'm all in. Heart attacks galore, dear readers! From Sabathia v. Price, to Brignac bombs to Grandy's catch to Jeter's thespian act, this has been the most impressive, most entertaining, most dramatic regular season series between any two teams all season long! And, as a fan, I could care less about either club! Now that's what I call drama!
Teabagging with Christine O'Donnell
If Joe Biden were dead he'd be rolling over in his grave. Heck, lots of people wish Karl Rove was dead (he's not) and he's already rolling over in his… er… wait. What I mean is this: Republican/Tea Party senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell from Delaware may seem like Sarah Palin 2.0, but that's just because she's good-looking, halfway likable and really dumb. Make no mistake: the Teabaggers are way more scary than their everyday conservative counterparts. Way more scary. For instance, O'Donnell once suggested to the MTV crowd that they refrain from masturbation. Uh… yeah. And judging from the fly hair and nails O'Donnell has in that circa 1996 video, I sure as hell hope she sees the irony in that. Anti-masturbation!?! Ha! Such a message EXPLODES with drama!!!

Wow! This Tea Party thing gets nuttier by the week. The only way this women could win is if people completely ignore reality, facts, and history. Yep! sounds like the Tea Party.
Does the New World Order like tea? And what's O'Donnell thinking? Doesn't she know you can't catch STDs when you're making love alone?! Ice my tea please, and pass the towel.
Tea Party was the subject that you had to call the Dodger station to win Dodger baseline tickets. Nope, I did not get thru. I heard the story on Ines but had no clue what she looked like up until now.
Drama is good. Escpecially when it's about someone who is InSain-ly hot.

As a resident of the state of Delaware, I am embarrased. Do we really have that any stupid people living here? Who voted for this moron? Ugh. Think I may move back to NJ ;o)
Russel — Looks like the Tea Party doesn't fall far from its tree (GOP).
Mike — All out of towels here (for now). Please use a sleeve. Preferably ALLEN'S sleeve. Thanks🙂
Emma — All you need to know is what the back of Ines looks like. Everything else is irrelevant.
Mike — InSain. NICE!
Jenn — Go for it, Jenn! I'd take the Situation over O'Donnell any day!
I was watching CNN last night and was amused to hear O'Donnell is taking the advice of Palin not to talk to media unless they're "friendly" (i.e. Fox News). I thought Tea Party candidates were all about transparency. Hm.
Jane — Transparency in politics is about as likely as the Pirates winning the World Series.
Prince — I feel ya, brother. I feel ya.
I'm with Paulie on this one Jeff. I'm trying so hard not to come off like a cross between Chuck D and Michaelangelo Signorille after reading about the Michele Bachmann clone from Delaware.🙂

In new book, 400-plus chefs serve up their picks for noodle joints, breakfast haunts, haute dining
- 5:48 pm Saturday, January 26th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
In a book published earlier this month, Daniel Boulud, whose restaurants include Palm Beach's Café Boulud, is among more than 400 chefs who cite their favorite places to eat, whether it's fine-dining establishments, noodle joints or all-day breakfast haunts.
"Where Chefs Eat" (Phaidon, January 2013), an international restaurant guidebook edited by Joe Warwick (a food critic and co-founder of "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" awards), includes more than 2,000 recommendations from chefs from around the world.
The chefs, ranging from Rene Redzepi of Copenhagen's Noma to David Chang of the New York-based Momofuku restaurant group, were asked to submit recommendations in eight different categories in order to provide [More]

Buccos fall to Braves and bitter McLouth.
Two games in. Two losses
The Pirates lost 2-4 at the hands of Atlanta on Thursday. The Pirates have put up miniscule hits these past two days, recording just four against the Braves. Compared to the five hit by Atlanta, I guess it should not be too big of a talking point.
Two of the Bucs reaching base safely were new additions. Ryan Church and Bobby Crosby.
Church got the start in right field, but should not be too commended for his effort. He struck out twice while getting his single in three at bats. Over the weekend I called in to a local sports talk station. The guys were talking about off-season accquisitions by the Pirates and failed to mention Church. I chimed in expressing my interest in him and that he could be a central part to our team. They agreed and complimented me, a good feeling considering I am not a frequent caller to these type of shows. I normally just like to sit back and listen. The show was Sunday during an intermission of the USA-Canada hockey game and I was lucky enough to be directed straight to the show. I did watch the game and if anybody else did I hope you were listening intently at the very beginning of the first period. Announcer Doc Emerick dropped a Pirates mention saying "I bet the Pittsburgh Pirates are glued intently to this game." Perplexed I was, but later found out Emerick is a huge Pirates fan. The New Jersey Devils announcer earned major points in my media heroes book.
Crosby had a decent day at the plate. With two outs in third he ripped a single through the infield bringing in a run. It was the first tally mark of the afternoon for the Pirates. It was the only noise he would make in his three at bats.
Andy LaRoche hit the first homerun of the Spring Training season for Pittsburgh. His solo shot in the 7th was the only other productive at bat in the contest.
The underlying storyline heading into this ballgame was the matchup against former Pirate centerfielder Nate McLouth.
The 2008 Gold Glove winner was the first Pirate traded in last summer's infamous fire sale. A shocking move to the city of Pittsburgh and the entire baseball world as McLouth just inked a long term deal with the club in the offseason.
In an interview with Jennifer Langosch Nate announced his disdain for the Pirates organization. Here is a sample of what he said.
It feels good to be in an organization this year that's going to be in a playoff hunt and not have to talk about 'We hope years down the road …' and things like that. It's good to have that feeling in Spring Training.
It was tough, but I was kind of lucky that I was the first one to get sent out and I didn't have to deal with it the whole summer.
If I was in Nate's position, I certainly would be a bit ticked and I understand what he is saying. At the time I was unsure of the trade, but it can pay big dividends for the Pirates. We got a starting pitcher (Charlie Morton) and a centerfield prospect (Gorkys Hernandez) out of the deal. It makes me happy theat McLouth is not down playing that situation. He truly wanted to be a Pirate and felt betrayed by the organization. Some say it is still a stupid move, but it really was not.
Our outfield now is one of the youngest and most talented in the National League. McLouth refused to move to left field when Andrew McCutchen would be promoted and that may have pre-empted the trade in the first place. McLouth's numbers also dropped considerably when he was in the ATL.
In 85 games with the Braves, McLouth batted a mediocre .256 and hits 11 home runs, bringing his total up to 20 for the year. His on base percentage dropped a handful of points from the year before and his OPS was .773, the second lowest in his five year career.
It is hard to tell what the short and long term effects of the trade will be. The duo the Pirates recieved from Atlanta has yet to pan out. In sort of a fitting manner, it was Morton that started the game for Pittsburgh. He had control issues walking three batters (including McLouth).

Realistically look who the 2 games were against… I watch most of yesterdays game and the Pirates were a little unlucky, but at least they can look and see what they will have to do and adjust as the preseasons games move on….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Ryan Church…there are still some Mets shirts with his name and number in the sporting goods stores. I'm glad he could move on after such a horrible experience here in New York and start fresh in Pittsburgh. He also kinda looks like Justin Verlander.
Bobby Crosby looks kinda sorta not really like Scott Brosius. What position is he playing now? Still SS?
If Emerick like the Pirates, it doesn't mean they necessarily like him or hockey, so why did he bet they were listening? Speaking of the Devils, all of them in the Olympics did better than they've been doing for the Devils…and when they came back it was right back to usual form for everyone except Kovalchuk and Langenbrunner. Do you think players are patriotic and play better in international competition? Like Dice-K in the WBC? Or are they just better when the competition is better?
I'm surprised Nate would run his mouth off like that. It's okay to have such feelings, but there's a classier way to go about it in my opinion. I don't blame the guy for feeling that way, but he still got paid…so I'd respect that.
I believe players should always have a certain degree of respect for the organization that drafted them no matter what happens afterwards. Nate could have been more tactful.
I still dig Ryan Church. I think he got shafted here. You were right to call and chime in.
I'm a NYR fan but Emerick does a great game! He drives my son up a wall though.
I'm surprised that McLouth would take potshots like that. No offense, but isn't it easy to kick the Pirates while they are down right now. Classless.
You inspired me to buy some baseball cards the other day. Topps. Had a blast opening them. Got a few Cubs (Derrick Lee) and a few Rays (Carl Crawford) but mostly junk. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, but the damn box was $20! I'm not old at all, but what happened to the days of 50 cents a pack!? Maybe I am old…
I felt like McLouth didn't let too many sour grapes out of his mouth. He gave standard cliched answers to someone who went from one organization to another that is considered "higher". I'm not crazy about the Braves myself, or McLouth. I think Pittsburgh got the better end of the deal and I'd make the same trade again if it was offered.
I like Ryan Church and in my "take" on the Pirates over at my Blogger page, I agree that he can have a pivotal influence to the young outfield especially if Garret Jones if forced to cover first base long term.
Nice work, Matt

Nothing like watching our teams struggle eh? At least they're consistent. I'm new to MLBlogs but I like your style. Looking forward to reading more.
The first few days of spring training just give us a wide range of emotions… but I'm so glad it's back!
Hmm interesting comments from mr mclouth.. though understandable. It's alright, the angels haven't won a game yet😛 Matsui is making his debut so hoping he can bring up some wins🙂
Thanks for sending me the link! What a jerk! He was my fav Pirate before he got traded. I used to watch him & see how he was doing. Always wished him the best. Now, not so much! I understand him being upset, but to bash the team that launced him career is not cool!
On a more happy note, 8 days until opening day. I think i'm getting to the ball park at like 7 am! lol Way too excited!
Now those are guys with major Moncler Jackets league time, but I would hope Louis Vuitton UK some of our young Bucs could sneak some hits in.

A woman who was swept away while trying to cross Hanakapi'ai Stream on Kauai Thursday is the latest in a string of deaths involving tourists who were in the midst of exploring Hawaii's outdoors.
The woman, who has yet to be identified, was with a group of 54 other hikers who were trying to get back to the Kalalau trailhead at Ke'e Beach when flash floods struck the area.
First responders and those familiar with Hawaii's beautiful yet rugged terrain, say visitors often lose their sense of judgment when faced with possibly dangerous situations.
"I think they downplay the risk because they're on vacation, and what we've seen, there's a greater number of people that are more interested in strenuous outdoor activities," said Curt Cottrell, assistant administrator of the Division of State Parks. "Our information always stresses be prepared."
So far this year, at least a dozen Hawaii visitors have been killed in accidents, and on Kauai alone, six tourists have drowned. But statistics show it's not only visitors who get into trouble. According to the state Department of Health, 123 Hawaii residents drowned in the ocean from 2007 to 2011, compared to 136 non-residents.
Capt. Terry Seelig of the Honolulu Fire Department says enjoying the many open-air activities Hawaii has to offer is all about managing risk.
"It's understanding the environment that you're in, and it's recognition of your own capabilities," Seelig told KITV4. "You might be an Olympic caliber swimmer in a swimming pool, but then you go into big surf, it's not the same."
State and county agencies, as well as the hotel industry, often provide brochures and pamphlets to visitors warning them of the many dangers they could encounter. However, smartphone technology is quickly changing how critical information is shared that could help save lives.
"There's a host of apps we're looking at in terms of ways to more rapidly deploy information into the hands of people," said Cottrell. "So, there's a technological way that will eventually supersede paper in terms of getting the message out in real-time."
Still, perhaps the best way to play safe in Hawaii, or any location that you're unfamiliar with, is to ask questions. First responders like lifeguards and police are good resources to lean on, and Seelig says fire fighters are always willing to receive guests unannounced.
"Stop at a fire station and ask about the hiking conditions in the area," said the fire captain. "Ask people who you can relate to, rather than relying upon guides that are just one-way of information, like publications or Internet sites."
Cotrell maintains it's also important to have a flexible itinerary. Too often, visitors are fixated on hiking a specific trail or swimming at a certain beach, even if weather conditions are too rough.
"Visitors come in and they only have four days, and they want to maximize their enjoyment," said Cotrell. "That's when I think the visitors need to learn to adjust (and) to have a portfolio of things to do. Have a plan 'B', or plan 'C.'"
A dozen tourists have died in Hawaii since start of the year

KITV 4 News learned Wednesday an officer accused of raping a shoplifting suspect while he was on duty and in uniform plans to quit the Honolulu Police Department.
That news comes two days after one of the HPD?s highest ranking officers ? already indicted for extortion -- was arrested in a federal drug raid at his home.
A 47-year-old shoplifting suspect accused a Kailua patrol officer of raping her in the second-floor of the parking structure next to Longs Drugs Kailua on September 16.
The officer, who?s been on the force for four years, told co-workers he had consensual sex with the woman while he was on duty and in uniform, police sources said. He also told fellow officers he flunked a lie-detector test, sources said.
The officer -- who's on unpaid leave and the focus of an internal affairs investigation -- now plans to quit the police department, according to police sources. If he remained at HPD, he most likely would have faced administrative discipline such as a suspension or firing, police officers said.
A deputy city prosecutor made an initial decision to decline to prosecute the officer, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove the victim did not consent to sex, according to Dave Koga, a spokesman for the prosecutor?s office.
But City Prosecutor Keith Kaneshiro will make the final decision about whether to bring a criminal case, Koga said.
The alleged victim has a criminal record and was arrested for shoplifting at Macy?s Kahala Mall the day after she reported the officer sexually assaulted her in Kailua.
Meantime, the search is under way for former Honolulu police officer Michael Tarmoun, who law enforcement officers fear may have fled to his native Morocco before being sentenced for sexually assaulting a prostitute in Waikiki. He faced up to ten years in prison when he failed to show up for his sentencing last month in circuit court.
Monday night, the FBI arrested HPD Major Carlton Nishimura after a federal raid found the drug crystal methamphetamine at his home on the Waianae Coast.
"I am very concerned about the seriousness of this recent allegation," said Police Chief Louis Kealoha in remarks to reporters Wednesday.
The FBI found about 231 grams of crystal meth, along baggies and three digital scales at Nishimura?s home Monday night.
Federal agents returned to Nishimura's home Tuesday night with metal detectors as well as a dog and appeared to search his garage and elsewhere in his house.
"This doesn't reflect the majority of our police officers and our civilians who go out every day and do an excellent job. This is a very small. It's one person, a very small fraction of our department," Kealoha said.
Honolulu City Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard, who chairs the council?s safety committee, said, ?It is unfortunate that the actions of these very few cast a shadow over the really great work being done by officers at HPD every day.?
?No one is above the law and people need to be accountable for their actions,? Gabbard said.
HPD put Nishimura on unpaid leave Tuesday, after the FBI arrested him for intent to distribute crystal meth.
In February, a federal grand jury indicted Nishimura for extortion in another case, with prosecutors claiming he conspired to accept bribes from illegal gambling operations in exchange for steering police away from raiding them.
When Nishimura, a 30-year HPD veteran, was indicted earlier this year, he had been assigned to the legislative liaison office of the police department, which lobbies state lawmakers and members of the city council on HPD?s behalf.
Sources said until Tuesday, he had been working in the Community Affairs division, on leave with pay.

New Evidence: Was Autism, Asperger's Or Psychotropic Drugs Behind Adam Lanza's Bloody Rampage?
It goes without saying that anyone who could gun down his own mother and then slaughter 26 children has serious mental problems. However, a new report from investigators is causing some people to point the finger in a different direction.
"Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's": and: "Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Mind of an Autistic Savant": were found in Lanza's home. This has led some people to wonder whether Autism, Asperger's or Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors, which may be used to treat both conditions, make people dangerous.
The short answer to that question is "No."
People with Asperger's and: Autism: are no more likely to commit crimes than the general public. Additionally, while it's wise to pay close attention to the side effects of any psychotropic drugs, they're also unlikely to cause someone to commit a crime. If you're wondering how that can be, it's worth considering the "chicken and the egg" argument when it comes to drugs.
For example, it has been noted for decades that people who take some types of antidepressants have a higher: suicide rate: than the general public. Of course, people who are healthy, happy and doing well don't take antidepressants to begin with. If you are taking antidepressants, it's an indication that you're depressed and people who are depressed are more likely to commit suicide. Moreover, some people who are depressed may want to kill themselves, but lack the energy because of their depression. The antidepressants may give them just enough energy to off themselves. Does that mean the antidepressants caused the suicide? No. Certainly, that's an issue that's still being debated in the psychiatric community, but it's : worth keeping that perspective in mind.
In Adam Lanza's case, his mother was reportedly considering having him committed. Given his behavior, it seems that she had good reason to be worried. But, it's also important not to assume that Asperger's, Autism or other forms of mental illness automatically make someone dangerous. Not only is that completely untrue, it unfairly stigmatizes people who already have enough issues on their plate to deal with.

Palm Beach Money
Yes, thanks to FICA there really is less in your paycheck
- 6:34 pm Friday, January 18th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
If you haven't received a paycheck from your employer yet, when you do expect some sticker-shock: Unless you've gotten an increase in your salary expect less take home pay.
Whether you're an employee or self-employed, reading about a tax increase and living with the impact of it are two different things. So, along with things like medical and health care costs rising, gas for your vehicles heading beyond 3.50 a gallon mark, and a gallon of milk and loaf of healthy bread requiring nearly a 10 spot, the last thing anyone wants is less money in their pay.

Exhibition or no, the Padres won their first game of the season yesterday, 4-3. It was a really great game for my Padres. Jake Peavy started and allowed a hit but induced a double-play grounder to get out of the inning. Soon-to-be-closer Heath Bell allowed two runs and four hits in his second. But new second baseman David Eckstein just missed one of those hits, and another one of the hits fell between three fielders. It was definitely the first game of the season…The Padres got on the board with a two-run bomb from my boy Kevin Kouzmanoff (pictured). I totally called that he was going to hit a homer. Adrian Gonzalez also drove in a run. The Mariners tied the game at 3 in the 9th off of Oneli Perez. But in the bottom of the tenth, the Padres walked-off with an RBI double by Kyle Blanks! Another highlight from this game were three double plays. Also, Chase Headley threw out a runner at the plate from left field!
It was a really good game for my Padres. I mean, we only had 7 hits to Seattle's 12, but we got the job done. All of our pitchers were pretty good! And our hitters drew 7 walks. I think that's a really good thing. You know, even though this game doesn't mean anything even to Spring Training games, a win is a win. I've been waiting for this win since September 28! Just kidding. But it really has been a long time. Wins just feel so good! I went through a lot of losses last year, and it's just really important that we win some games this year. It was just an exhibition game, but it was a win. WHOOOHOOO!
This afternoon we are playing the Mariners again. And this time, it will actually "mean" something. No, it's not like the Cactus League has a championship or anything, but now we start keeping track of our record and stuff. Here's the lineup:
- #33 CF Jody Gerut
- #8 2B Chris Burke
- #24 RF Brian Giles
- #16 DH Cliff Floyd
- #49 LF Emil Brown
- #66 1B Kyle Blanks
- #28 C Henry Blanco
- #18 3B Travis Denker
Starting is RHP Chris Young followed by Matt Buschmann, Justin Hampson, Joe Thatcher, Cesar Carrillo, Edwin Moreno, Nick Schmidt, Arturo Lopez, and Chad Reineke.
I am seriously going to lock myself in my room with an energy bar (since the game starts at lunchtime) and a bottle of water. I was going to keep score, but I am seriously debating if I really want to do that. It might be a good challenge though…we'll see. But this afternoon, I am going to listen to Padres baseball. GO PADRES!!!!!

Lucky I'm still waiting for the Red Sox to win and I don't count the Boston College game.
